  • An N-gauge model railway in a space 43x33x10 cm, using Kato Compact Line track and Kato Pocket Line chassis.
    The model depicts a fictional tourist railway in the Derbyshire Peak District.
    The landscape and trackbed are constructed from extruded foam, finished with artists' acrylic filler and tinted gesso.
    To increase its apparent depth, the scale varies from 1:87 at the front to 1:220 at the back.

    I love the tiny worlds of n scale. While I do HO myself I adore seeing people's full layout fits in a suitcase.

    The way the trains disappear and re-appear in and out of the tunnels is an amazing audience captivating experience. So enjoyable to watch. ✨👍✨

    That is so incredibly cool! The details are amazing, the amount of track and features is stunning in so small a space! (Glad Thor made an appearance for this video). I salute the enthusiast/artist who created this.

    Initially I didn't read where this was. I know Thor's cave and all the narrow roads and the tunnel where that narrow gauge system existed. One of the best places in the Derbyshire dale✨👍✨

    I am trying to figure out the track plan but not doing very well. Any way you can share that? Would be most appreciated!

    • @trainsandtunes
      @trainsandtunes  3 роки тому +4

      The middle one of the 5 tunnel mouths is a dummy (filled with shiny black card to give the impression that the track continues). Apart from that, it's a simple figure-of-eight: leftmost tunnel connects with furthest right, passing just behind the loop that connects centre right tunnel mouth with centre left. The track plan was included in an article about the layout published in the N Gauge Journal, 2/20.

    • @jimholmes4224
      @jimholmes4224 3 роки тому +1

      I thought that might be the case but was not sure (about the upper dummy spur) but tried to imagine a possible connection behind the scenes. Also since you ran three different trains in the video, I was trying to imagine somewhere the third one was hiding. I really like the layout - am looking for a small layout to have at least two small trains on (wish to have a siding for a third but....) i think that considering my situation, your layout is probably the idea I will use. Doubt that I have access to that magazine but thanks for that information. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness to reply.

    Are these N gauge or Z trains?

    • @bradster1708
      @bradster1708 Рік тому +2

      This would be N gauge. Kato does not seem to do Z gauge.
      The turn outs are radius 150mm.
