Layouts - O
Scale:
O
This shelf layout goes around three walls of the author's two-car garage. The article describes how he got into O-scale, and how he constructed this, his second O-scale layout. Trains are run using on-board radio-controlled, battery-powered engines. Although the layout is used for operations, the many detailed scenes is really the author's joy in the hobby. Includes many close-up photos and a track plan.
