Model Railway Forum

Thanks for adding me as a new member of this great community.
This is my first 00 gauge micro layout. The dimensions are: 41cm x 65cm. The radius for these very tight curves is only...175mm ! I cut the rail with my standard side cutting pliers...and it works well for me. I cleaned the end of the rails with a small file before fitting the fishplates. Just one Hornby 0-4-0 steam loco with three short wheelbase wagons. And that's all ! No DCC needed, so it's only a very basic DC controller. I'm very happy with the result.

Welcome - a friendly bunch of people here, most of whom are helpful too

It is amazing what you can do with these small locos if you put your mind to it!

Welcome to the forum Blueberry

Thanks for posting, BB. Micro layouts are of great interest to myself, and
how our British Cousins work with small areas is frequently remarkable.
I would very much like to see what you end up doing with this fine
little layout.

Thanks for your kind comments Gentlemen. In fact i'm not a "British cousin" but a European cousin.
Anyway, I really like all these small Hornby steam locos.

I'm going to borrow a lot of ideas in these three topics:
Diesels to Glenburnie Station
Steam Trains to Sovereign Street
The Return of Henley

Welcome on board Blueberry.

I hope there are some ideas that suit your layout.
