Noah's latest layout

Recommended Posts

My son's ever changing layout has migrated back from the floor to the table again. We found a plan on Kato's web site and re-created it with a few minor changes. The table is two hollow core doors covered in foam and sitting on two cheap Ikea pine tables. He likes this one. Says maybe this'll be his permanent layout. I'm not putting any money on that just yet. Just got to get it wired up and get some trains running on it now.

And here it is from the other end.

First time for a 16 car Shinkansen, thanks to JR500. He got the 8 car train for Christmas, just got the the other 8 cars today.

It's a great train. That corner's a bit tight for it though.

Should've said thanks to the JR 500 he's now got a 16 car Shinkansen.

And the modifications have begun. Noah's changed one station and moved another. Took out a siding because it used sketchy #4 turnouts (his words!). He's also adding a road and a tram line from the city to the station. I'm curious to see where he takes this one.

The other station

The tram line and road.

Since I wasn't graced with any boys yet (hopefully the third and last child will be a boy). I am trying to get my girls interested in Japanese trains...well any trains really...not working out to well but we just moved to larger house (hence my absence). Hoping once I actually bring my Japanese layout home the girls will get more interested.

Todd - this is a great learning skill you are teaching your son....not only is he being creative but he is learning about wiring as well....something he'll be able to use later in life.

Here we go again. Last weekend Noah ask to change how his tables were arranged so he could make a new layout. Here are the preliminary results.

 

The control centre.

The city side

The whole layout. Lots of round and round.

Well the two levels are gone. Here's the latest iteration. Problem at the moment is the station's too short for his long trains.
