Another long put off project. Recycling an old layout top to make a dedicated clockwork layout. This will be for use at meets and shows so I mostly want a decent size loop and some track in the middle to display some accessories and parked trains. Outer loop is Hafner track with some nice cam actuated Mettoy switches. The turn table and grade crossing are Hornby. Still need to resize some track in the middle and find where I hid all my Hornby bumpers. A work in progress.

Looks great so far 
As always, very cool Steve. I'm always amazed at the variety of train stuff you must have stashed away...Great stuff!
Very nice Steve, just wonderful! Can't wait to see the finished layout. 
A couple of thoughts to share.
When I built mine I noticed that with the tight curvature that super elevating them was needed and some track has this built in to avoid the engine taking off. Another thing I experienced was the lightweight Hornby and Marx cars had a tendency to be sensitive to every imperfection in the track ( bouncing or tipping under coupler strain etc )and so I lightly weighted them and that made a huge difference.
For what it's worth.....
It's a lot of fun once it's "fine tuned"
Steve,
Once again you amaze me with your creative ability.
Bravo!!!
Dave
very nice!
Nice.
Looking good. Is there going to be a custom curved turnout in the lower right corner of the first picture?
Did a lot of work today fitting the inner track and adding bumpers. These pictures should answer your question Andy. Bruce, the Hafner track is elevated. That was a must for this layout.

Great job! Love the simplicity of smaller 0 gauge layouts.
