Best Of Vandelay Industries - An Inglenook Micro Layout

[mu26aeh]

I'd like to nominate this as a best of thread.  It gets shown to anyone that claims they don't have room for a layout !

Outstanding !

^ Agreed.  @John @tom mann

Very awesome work.

I'm assuming this is a latex manufacturer?

Great work. Its a clever use of those modules that are readily available everywhere now.
Have you thought about submitting this to a mag?
RMC would love this.

Very well done Chris.  Every aspect of it is well thought out and executed perfectly.

So much detail in such a small space. And yet, it doesn't feel to compressed. Very nice!!!
How long did it take you to build?

Oh sure, just waltz in here on Christmas Eve, drop all THIS and saunter off with no f*cks given.   

Really well done @cbroughton67

I remember seeing this on Facebook, I love the little layout!!! Kind of reminds me of the Ware Shoals RR here in SC, it was a single industry line that served the textile mill in the center of town. Now the question is, does Vandalay import or export items?

LOL!!! Thanks, Philip!

I finally got around to adding a detachable "fiddle stick" staging track to the layout. It works great - makes it much easier to set up a train, then let it enter the scene, rather than trying to assemble it on the layout itself.

Might want to add some side rails to that, it could save a car or two from a plunge.

Did you use an available molding for the large windows or make your own?

If memory serves, the windows are Grandt Line parts.

How did I not see this earlier?! This is fantastic! The transition from road to backdrop is especially well done. It’s a seamless transition. 👍🏻
