    0n30 first layout ideas and plan for 1.80m x 0.40 m station

    Hello Fred, the GUM STUMP & SNOWSHOE layout is also featured on this list of famouse small layout ideas at: Carl Arendt's Micro Layouts Page When I started planning, I just had the simple classic Tyme Saver in mind but I realised that if I would build an 0n30 Tyme Saver on my 1.80 or 2.00...

    Hello Fred, many thanks for the infos regarding loading gauge. I did not think yet that 9 cms are necessary, and this means I have to replan considerably. Also I am not yet sure if e.g. a 80 cm track (length between turnouts) will hold a 70 cm train or if I rather need 90 or even 100 cms...
