Nice.  I can see "Allegra 7.jpg" if I click on the link at the bottom left and download the image.

Edit: that was probably the "Forum image delay", where they don't always show till 10-15 minutes have passed.

Nice layout.  I was confused when I saw the title as "Allegra" is the name of an allergy medication here in the States. 
I'm amazed how quickly you can build these wonderful layouts.

Thanks James & Jeff,

It was a fun project and has already three exhibition invites. The snow scene was a first for me which I might try on another layout sometime.

Mike, 

I can't stop thinking about it...if you get a chance, I'd love to see a "step back" photo...where you can get a feel for the whole layout, from a viewer's perspective.

I'm juiced up about getting down to work on my larger layout...but I'm intrigued by the idea of a side project of a similar nature and size...I rode the Bernina Express last year (and the Glacier Express) and can, in my own insane way, rationalize this "tribute" on a shelf over my desk.

Thannks for sharing,

Hi John,

The layout is 5ft in length and 2ft wide. The height is 18 inches. The picture is of it on a dining table. This is the full frontage. I can probably get you a better picture in a couple weeks time when it set up at it's next exhibition outing. You could use a narrower board if you prefer as the minimum radius for the locos is only 6 inches. I have made it wider to accomodate the hidden sidings behind the backscene. For perpective the two locos on the bridge coupled together are just 8 inches long.

All the best,

Mike

Sorry John,

It will not let me post the picture.

It says "The message has the following error or errors that must be corrected before continuing:

If you want to email me your email address to mike@gmail.com I will attach the photo to my reply.

Love it...I ordered the Kato 3-car Allegra set and a couple other small things...then went down the Internet rabbit hole...


...anyone want to buy some amazing HO scale built up craftsman structures?
