I hope members who like the older 50s style layout and those just thinking or planning can get inspired to just start and go with what space, resources and skills they have and enjoy this hobby.

Charlie, I have to say this is one of my favorite topics on the forum. I had a 4x17 layout as a kid, and always thought it would be fun to build another. I had put it off for a while due to lack of space and time. However, you and your layout inspired me to get started on a layout, and let it evolve over time. I'm in the early stages now, but work on it a little here and there when I get time.

I really enjoy the enginuity of everything on your layout from the turntable, to the wiring, to the roller wheels on the edge of the layout, to the coaling tower, etc. etc. etc.

Thanks for taking the time to show the details and tell us how you did it!

All the best,
