N scale layout

     Here I  present  my newer attempt to construct  a train layout . The previous construction was a Ho  layout L shaped  and rather big  nearly 20 years ago. Since then  many things have changed , tool availablility  ,  construction efficiency  access to different materials  and of course  technical experience  in every aspect .
    As I trully love  scale  model making I will focus into this aspect of the construction  leaving  other matters aside . Even   the track  line  is  rather simple  , single way . Only 3 intersections are used and only one  end line is  created  so I have much space left   to  build my beloved scale parts . One  town  , one castel , rail station  and a small industrial field are in my plans . I will  keep  this thread updated  with all parts used (buildings etc )  from  wide variety of suppliers  (kibri , Faller , Vollmer , Woodland Scenics ) .


Here is the  basic board constructed by 4mm plywood   and  bluefoam . It is  very lightweigt  and trully  robust .  The inserted bluefoam  will provide me the ability  to carve it  and  adjust line  negative  height .
For such a small  layout   , this  construction is trully recommended . Only negative aspect?  That  carving the bluefoam is trully  dirty job to do . Big mess .

 

At the last photo  you can see  how  I easily raise the  track using blue foam parts  .  The small  engine  with a series of waggons are used for line testing . Line  bedding  was done with  cork sheet 3mm  high . Easy to cut   and  also   sound proof .
