My small table top 00 gauge layout – Little Trax. It is 3 feet 9 inches by 3 feet and I wanted to make the smallest roundy type layout but still have plenty of operational interest and scenery.
It was built using 1st radius curves.

Co. Down Clubs
I live in NI/The North of Ireland, and all of the clubs I know of in County Down are either in Newry, Lisburn or Bangor, sadly I am a culchie and live in the South of Down, so if anyone knows any clubs around Newcastle, Downpatrick or Ballynahinch it would be great to know, thanks

Shiny newness

Raised Track
Having used an incline set to create a second level on my layout, does anyone have good recommendations as to what pillars I can use to support an MDF board?

New additions to the collection
I have bought this Lima Class 33. After a good service, it runs allright. Draws rather a lot of current, but it looks great. I have added a driver and codriver. The green restaurant coach is converted from LMS and the composite coach from red BR.
