Gn15

There will be a 1:22.5 small layout on 16.5 mm track in a small industrial setting.

I haven't gotten far on this (and I started in 2003). Only built, but not painted, a few kits.

Some photos.

I have a few design preferences:

• More or less point-to-point
• Continous running not necessary
• At least 4 destinations
• Since it's for me to operate rather than display: no hidden fiddle yard, no automatic features, not necessary to have the ability to run two locos at the same time.
• "Loads/empties" operation. Probably manually by moving stuff from cars to loading docks and back again.

Inspiration

• Gn15.info - A site promoting Gn15 modelling.
• Micro/Small Layouts for Model Railroads - Many of these would be excellent for Gn15.
• Mad Gerald: Gn15 Blog
• Ian's Gn15 pages
• Small Layout Design - Several good examples.

Märklin H0

I'm not planning a large layout, but rather a small which can be finished sometime in the near future. Some old design ideas.

There will be no specific prototype and I won't be very strict as to time period either. Let's just assume it's set in the 21:st century, with lots of rolling stock remaining from much of the 20:th.

Or maybe not a layout at all, but only a section to bring to modular meetings.
