Micro layouts.

I've just been having a browse through this site, and there are some interesting ideas.

The plans look like a good way of trying out your modelling skills before diving in at the deep end. And if you thought that you didn't have the room for a model railway, then think again!

I think many people, especially the younger ones, are missing out on the enjoyment that railway modelling brings because of their belief that "big is best" If they can't have a four-track mainline layout with 6 trains running at once, then they don't want anything.
How wrong they are. If only they were a little more open-minded they could get plenty of ideas for small layouts from books and websites, like the one Trev mentions.

The nice thing about small projects such as these, is that they can be well detailed, but finished fairly quickly. And just as important, without spending a fortune.

I hope you do decide to build a layout, Ian. You could post progress reports.
It would be nice to see some activity in the "Railway Modelling" forum.

Yes i have been thinking about it for a long time but as i have very little space i always put it on the back burner until now that is,i mean if i can bulid something like that it would be a good start.
But where in the world would i model,maybe a local village ,or even a village in europe,or even a swiss village ?
All the best,Ian
p.s i am off to have a think about it now.
p.p.s Now who do i know that know's about swiss railways??
