Minimal-purchase layout plan

[Kabutoni]

There is always an excuse to run a 3-car 113/115/165 in Shonan livery on a JNR/JR based layout with overhead wires.

Now that's the kind of answer I like! :-)

FWIW, I meant to mention that another inspiration for this layout would be the Agatsuma Line in Gunma Prefecture.

Just to take this totally over the edge, here's an addition (essentially a partially hidden siding) that would allow a limited express or joyful train to appear from "offstage", take a tour of the quaint rural scenery, and bugger off back to the big city.

So should we re-name this thread the "Win the Lottery Layout Plan"?

I like your stage3 plan, but it would rise your budget.

And maybe you should put a platform to the other side of the main line, so a train from the "big city" could stop in your village.

If you build a rmovable cassette you won't need to curve this partially hidden siding of yours. Love the new plan, we are getting closer to some of the idea I developed at the bigining of this thread.

Or the "It's cheaper to play with RailModeller than to actually build anything" layout plan....
