Traveling N-Scale Layout

Our "traveling Layout" is a 3' by 36' N-scale  modular unit, designed for easy break down and set up.  We began construction in January 1998.   The layout was constructed in N-scale using a modular concept to allow us to transport the unit to area exhibitions and train shows.  The entire module can be disassembled and loaded for travel in about 1 1/2 hours and set up and running again in three hours.

There is a  large staging area behind the "sky boards" which allows us to run several trains at once.  The layout includes over 40 animated scenes (several are interactive) that bring life to the layout.  This layout has been awarded several first and second-place ribbons in area train shows.

The N-scale traveling layout is a work in progress.  We are continually incorporating new ideas and adding new animation and details.
