I agree that what constitutes a small layout is relative to the scale/gauge. I have a 16mm (32mm gauge) layout on a board 4ft x 2ft. I claim this to be a small layout, very small... Barry

I think the designation "small layout" depends on what scale/gauge is being modeled. A 4x8 Z scale layout would seem very large. A 4x8 in 1/2" scale would seem very small. I am building a 1/2" scale

This is probably one of those "how long is a piece of string?" questions but my personal definiton of a small layout as one that a sole modeller can transport on their own to an exhibition or meet in

Thanks, Joe...can't wait...I also opted for a roundabout, mainly for the grandkids who were more interested in watching the trains roll.? Regards,? John M.

John, I will post some soon including the "massive" 4 track fiddle on the 12" x 30" extension since you are interested. I am actually modeling a small segment of the old IC Charter line around

Joe...I'm curious...any track plan or photos of your 4x5?? I'm working in the same size, thanks.?? John M. John McGarrity, Charleston

Thomas, Thanks for the diagram and the photos as a picture is worth a thousand words. The dowel rods are a rather clever solution. I am using 1.5" x 1.5" birch on my 4 ft x 4.5 ft table layout for

Tom - Thank you very much for your answer and the drawing.? The entire concept looks like a winner for my purposes.? It looks easy to modify if the exact dimensions I use need to be changed a bit.

Ed, Here is an image illustrating the legs we used in our modular group. They are made of 1 x 2 poplar with ?” dowels as spacers. The typical width of the assembly is 10-5/8”, but I have sets

IIRC, Linn Westcott recommended supports 1/5 in from each end in his book and articles on benchwork. But that wasn't for a free-standing layout that might receive end loads. Jim van
