Layout design

Day tripping steam in the modern era

Well, this is rather more nerve-wracking than I thought it would be; posting the very early sketches of a chainsaw layout I'm considering at the moment.

What you see below represents the culmination of several weeks of sketching ideas and changing many things around and I feel quite close to what I'm aiming for now. My inspiration and reasoning for this layout is as follows:

N scale flume

So ive setteled on N scale a Free Mo style module. I want just one major feature for each module. On this first module a log flume, rickety, leaky and rather steep. Water falling from joints puddles on the ground. I will plan the flume work as if it was track work and build with woodland scenic risers and inclines

Chainsaw Layout - Somewhere in Southern Ontario

I think I've finally got my track plan drawn to how it is built.  The radii may not be exactly as shown (some might be a little tighter than shown but I've tried to keep everything as broad as possible.

Layout build progress... Introduction

I never started a blog before but here goes... I am going to use the blog just to throw stuff out there, and see what sticks.  Sort of my own "build progress thread".  Comments and suggestions are welcome.  And happy to answer any questions- can't say I am doing things right but willing to share anything and everything.

A bit of background.

Welcome!

This blog is dedicated to following the construction of my new HO Scale Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Layout. I have built a few in the past but this one will be the pinnacle of my efforts. 

 

I will be updating this blog frequently with new progress on the layout. I am currently in the Design Phase and Will upload a photo of the design.
