1:22.5 & 15mm Scale Trams, , NG Steam Railways
My indoor, not yet adapted for modular connection, will be mounted on a trestle frame, very similar to my large 0 gauge layout.
My large scale layout measures 15ft x 3ft over 3 boards, the modular connboards will be around 3ft long x 2ft deep (using old style measurements because these are the sizes used by the baseboard supplier).
The trestle will have 3 sets of legs using 50mm x 50mm timber with 18mm timber cross bracing between the legs, longitudinal timber will be 12mm x 70mm, all timber sizes are based on the material I know is available, joining the trestle frame will be done using faceplates, I think that's the correct term for them, and some diagonal braces for stability.
The only real difference between my 0 gauge layout and the large scale layout will be the stock and size of the buildings, so I've no reason to think I'll have any problems.
