Building a layout with very little space

Unread postby cptreft » Tue Aug 02, 2011 12:41 am

I'm in a quandary here, I am restarting the hobby and have very little space in my home. When I was growing up as a boy, I had a large basement area to build my layout, but my mother decided that my layout would be a better folding table than for my silly toys. :o Now I am a grown man with my own home and a somewhat understanding wife who bought my a HO set about three year's ago. The problem is the lack of a large basement. SO I ask this question, I can make a 4x3 foot area in my office for a layout but that is it. I do not want just a oval shape either. I would like some suggestions so I can decide since I also have a computer background and would like to digitize this layout also. :ugeek:

Hi cptreft
What about a shelf layout? A 12 or 14 inch width and around the walls might work best. In your browser Google "Model Railroad Shelf Layouts" and let your own imagination go to work.

Shelf layouts are easy to construct, wire and scenic....but don't go hammering the track in place or using a hot soldering iron without first protecting the floor below.

May your rails never rust, or your enthusiasm ever rest....

hello cptreft,
my name is ronald and i am an avid 00 man.
i have made and recommended a solution to limited space problems in the past.
you may be aware of the old system of clothes dryers..........the type where one hung ones clothes on a multi rack and by a pulley system raised same to ceiling height...well out of the way.
using a similar system to raise a solid board layout your only limits would be the ceiling area available and the height of the room.
hope this helps.

ronald.
