If it's your fourth dream and no layout yet, it sounds more like a nightmare !

Nice! Dreams are good.
Give it time and that one piece of track will become two.

Don't fear HO fans, I am not down sizing, a little bit of "Z" gauge fun for December.

I can bear witness to the layout taking shape 😃 It looks really good, and will be a nice layout for both function, operation and also just to let the trains run. The scenery also looks awesome 😃
How about some fotos Of the layout?

Hi there,
Here is a drawing showing what we planned and busy building.
Some short notes:
1. The layout is 3.6 x 2.0m,
2. It is a 3 layer layout,
3. Märklin (AC), HO, Digital system,
4. Depicting Germany / Switzerland in Era 3 - 5.
Cheers

Many months later to this.
The backdrop is up. Cutting the backdrop out gave it the 3D effect. Busy considering glacier shelter in the left back corner. Will post some more.
Cheers.
