My first layout
« on: September 01, 2016, 09:13:50 AM »
After a few trails on where to put our layout, I settled in my working corner next to my laser cutter and my computer. Also close to my 3D printer.  So everything I need is right at hand.
Plan to do a CANOPY above it with some sort of dust cover to cover everything when not in use.
Size of table is 2000 x 1200. 
Nice and high
Made it this size because I found a nice layout that can run multiple trains at the same time.
Table is attached to the wall on the far side.
Frame from 44 x 44 pine
12mm Chipboard on top of that.
Then a 50mm thick High Density ISOBOARD polystyrene layer on top of that.

Now to find LOTS of time to get going.

It is the plan from that chap doing the Arduino DCC ++.
I plan to use a lot of Arduino on this system.... up to full automation like he dit on one of his Youtube videos.
Let's see if I am clever enough. or  :loco:

Met another guy and he is stopping with N and only carrying on with his HO setup.
All the buildings I got when I bought my MiniTrix stuff in Holland was all HO scale.
So we SWOPPED some HO for N-Scale buildings.
In the back his old N-scale layout was just gathering dust.....so for a small fee I agreed to remove it off his property to make the place looking tidier.  :thumb:

Nice :) and it sounds like a good trade.

I see you got a roundhouse out of the deal. That is the Heljan 6 bay kit, I also have one on my extension.
I also see that you are missing a door on it, I have lots of spare parts, so if you are interested I can send you some.

Cheers,
Evert.
