WOWEE!! Thank you Fulton Road for an incredible Video!! ALL of the Dioramas & Layouts are quite stunning, delightful, more than excellent modelling! Watched at 75% Playback gave me more opportunities to absorb the views, deeply study the finer details, and make uncounted, frequent pauses! Blue Ribbons to ALL!! (And K. Macleod's music was a real kick, too!) ;-)
@@FultonRoad-yv3me Very much did enjoy this! Some great modeling in there. 😍😎 My health is a mess and modeling ability is a bit diminished, but there is still much enjoyment in playing around with On30, Gn15, HOn30. Layout, such as it is, is a little shelf in HO, but track spacing is such that freelance On30 and Gn15 can be run on it. I've only got 2 boxcars and a tank car of commercially produced On30 items. My freelance On30 bashes and builds are smaller, more industrial or estate tram sized, and except for some passenger cars made from Bachmann On30 trolley bodies, fit in deep tackle box inserts made by Plano Molding Company. That combine railcar at 4:48 which is on a Bachmann trolley chassis is very much the On30 style which appeals to me. That critter following it looks like it might be Gn15, or On30, and is a bit more rustic than my style but is likewise really appealing. That little aggregates supplier layout at 3:56 is quite nice. Turntable at end is nice. This video is full of eye candy.
I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. Playing with trains no matter the size is fun! I enjoy all the scales even though I've only modeled HO and N. I wish I had room for the larger scales like G or F but age marches on and there's the realization that a garden layout is lots of work. I'd always wanted to attend a Narrow Gauge Convention and finally got the opportunity. No regrets. The modeling is amazing! Thanks again for your comments.
Thanks for stopping by. If I understand correctly, you're interested in building a narrow gauge layout in 2 ft gauge. I've never worked in that gauge but I can tell you that 9 mm gauge track which is what n scale track in the U.S. is based on is used to represent both 2.5 and 3 ft. narrow gauge railroads such as those that operated in the Rocky Mountains and in Maine, among other places. Peco makes excellent "narrow gauge" 9 mm track. Last time I bought some you could get flex track and small radius turnouts. May I also recommend that you join the Facebook Micro/Small Model RR Layouts group. There are a lot of very talented modelers and many model narrow gauge railroads. If you do, you should post your question there. Best of luck to you!
Something was bothering me about my response. I assumed that you want to model in HO scale, 1/87th. But it occurred to me that you might be wanting to model in N scale, 1/160th in the US. I know that Nn3 which is narrow gauge in N scale, usually 3 feet between the rails, uses Z scale track. I don't have much experience with Z scale track. So, I'm going to stand by my previous advice which is to either search for a forum that models 2 ft. gauge trains or do a search here on CZcams or see if you get a response on Facebook. I don't want to mislead you and I'm out of my comfort zone. Maybe someone else can chime in and shed some light on this issue.
Thanks for posting this video. The animations at the start were awesome.
Thanks.

I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Very nice ❤ trains 😊
Thanks for visiting
Very Impressive layouts!
They are!
Oh, I really like that colorful diorama at 3:49 with the station and the creek and lake shore.
All of the dioramas were quite amazing. Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi all, newbie here. Wanna build a 2 ft (610 mm) gauge in N scale. Any suggestion on the tracks? Nn3? 00-9? Z? Thanks in advance!!
