Joe’s HO Scale Layout

Joe sent in these photos of his HO layout to share.

After reading a recent article on layouts for small areas, I decided to breakdown my 4×8 and construct a layout around the room.  I painted the walls with forest and mountains and clouds. I was able to construct a two tier track pattern that are separate.  The third set of tracks Is a trolley running from one side to the other.

Imagination was a big part of the scenery.  This HO DCC layout was fun to build and even more fun when my grandchildren come and their eyes go wide as I shut the lights and turn on the street lamps, buildings, and neon signs. It seems to come to life. A small area doesn’t have mean a small layout.
