Alex Sibbald started with an all-Gilbert
two-level layout with an upper loop and two lower loops, each with
passing sidings, and all connected by switches and trestle slopes up
and down.
|
| Then
he got fascinated with the many fine S-Scale buildings and vehicles
that became available. Today, everywhere you look on Alex's layout, a
story is being told. Stan's Drive-In is buzzing with activity and cars
from the 1950s. |
|
| Alex
put a small warehouse behind the loading platform accessory so the
boxes would have somewhere to come from. That accessory doesn't make a
lot of sense out in the open by itself! |
Alex's lighting is fabulous at night!
And here's his Lego Hogwart Express!
Bob Graves has a classical 1950s-style
American Flyer layout with Plasticville town and all. Its lower loop
has four alternative routes and passes through tunnels under the small
upper loop. Trestle slopes take trains between the upper and lower
loops, and a downslope provides an alternate route down. Bob's website provides a lot more information about the layout and its control system, plus lessons learned in building it.
The upper loop with its mountain and log cabin sports a water tank and log loader.
|
| At
the north end of the layout are Union Station and the two downslopes
from the upper loop. Tracks go at various angles to make the layout
more visually interesting and realistic than ovals with all sides
parallel. |
Here's a closer view of the railyard and town.
