Many a fine layout has been built in a small space. If I hadn't chosen to build my "O" gauge Lionel layout in my loft, I was going to build a highly detailed "G" scale display. I am still contemplating building a diorama with some of my smaller "G" scale stuff. I have two LGB field locos, one diesel and the other O&K little steam loco, which I have never run in my garden.

I ain't gettin' any younger so I must get to it. Have you seen these sites ?


Dan,
They’re fine micro layouts. My loft space is a little bigger at 17ft X 11ft, which will make a nice end to end, very loosely based on the Claremont and Concord Railway, which once ran in New Hampshire.

Yes, senior moment regarding diesel engines. I had realised that the Mack was petrol powered, I looked at their history for some time, it’s quite fascinating.

Yep, the US railroads did quite a lot with petrol (gas) engines before harnessing diesel power.

Some of the early lightweight streamliner units were petrol powered, but rapidly changed to diesel.
