What a beautiful layout. I love trams since my childhood. But what I find most impressive here are the little cyclists. The way their legs push the pedals. Simply amazing.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, often when I look at a layout video I think a track plan would be interesting so I thought I'd include one. Even though the track plan here is very simple, I think it helps explain how the layout works.
Thanks Dan. It's my own holiday photo that I edited and printed out using Microsoft Paint. The programme automatically prints the photo across several A4 sheets; if you know where to look you can just about see the joins. I used heavier than normal paper. For my first attempt I stuck the paper on with water-based glue and the ink ran. For the second attempt I used 3M Dry Mount spray which was great, because it also gives you time to re-position the paper.
@@ZugStrab Hi there. It is analog. There are four block sections corresponding to the joins in the baseboard, so up to three trams can be "in service" at one time. Trams move in to the next empty block section. There is a pause and change-over relay for the current direction at each end.
Hello, what do you use to fill in the actual tram track please, I am currently attempting to make a small diorama of the Manchester Metrolink and this would be a great help?
Hi there. I used Das modelling clay which is available in a grey "stone" colour. However, in the previous version of the layout on here, I used ordinary Polyfilla. I scrapped out the groove for the tram rail with a screwdriver whilst the Polyfilla was still soft. After the Polyfilla set, I painted the whole roadway with grey emulsion paint then wiped the paint off the surface of the rails with damp kitchen roll.

Thank you. It's the Dutch Magnorail system. I have a short video on here showing how it was made.
Ein wahres Modell Wunder.....das muss man erstmal können.👍
A track plan, great! Wish more were provided with layout videos. Thanks!

This is a very nice layout. Thankyou for sharing.

Fantastic layout . May i ask where you got the snowy mountains backdrop for the alpine section?

@@michaelinlondon Thats really helpful to know, thank you kindly Michael.
Ist die Anlage Digital gesteuert oder Analog, gesteuert?
