Today I'm starting on a new project: a portable mini-layout in On18. While remaining portable for shows and events, the layout is also being designed to "plug in" to my On30 Thunder Mesa layout as a feeder line. As the build progresses, I'll be be posting updates here on this blog, along with more in-depth articles on the TMMC website. Here's a track plan and concept illustration for the simple 2' x 5' layout: 📷 📷 Minimum radius will be 10" and the steepest grade will be about 5%. The layout draws inspiration from Knott's Calico Mine Train and the focus will be on scenery, character, animation and sound. Tiny steam locos built atop N scale mechanisms will make up the motive power. 📷 I'm just wrapping up the planning stages now and actual construction of the light-weight foam benchwork should begin in a week or so. I hope some of you will come along for the ride. Should be fun! More detailed plans on the Thunder Mesa Mining Co. website today. Edit 10/4/15: I've resumed work on the On18 layout with an all new plan: 📷 The basic concept will stay the same but this new plan will allow for more reliable opperation and a better representation of Calico. More on the changes here .
