There are many positive aspects of building micro layouts, cost being a major advantage. However, they can also be created quickly (before you lose interest!) and they let you try every aspect of the hobby in a relatively short space of time. Wayne Sharrocks was able to get his ‘Wheal Penbasset’ layout built in just six months, despite the size constraints forcing him to scratchbuild a lot of the project just to get it all to fit in. You’ll be able to read about how he made such a realistic looking ‘OO’ gauge layout - that is just nine inches wide - in an upcoming issue of Model Rail.
