Do you have a “Temporary Tinplate” layout? Emile Yes thebigcrabcake ! Mine will also be a temporary and variable layout, indoors or oudoors - if the weather allows it... I am waiting for my set of tracks from Menards (USA) : And unlike your nice Ltd. Ed. Tinplate M.T.H. train set , I only have one locomotive... And that's all for the moment ! Oh, OK : I still have my DIY Tinplate Train Supply that I built 30 years ago - still working fine - and which I used to drive my Lionel 2065 "Hudson" and 221 "Torpedo", plus their matching whistling tenders... So a new adventure starts... OACE

That’s going to be a big layout. Can’t wait to see it.

That’s going to be a big layout. Can’t wait to see it. Thanks thebigcrabcake ! It will depend largely if it is indoors or outdoors situation, to be honest... But two things are sure : temporary and variable in size ! I went for very large curves (072 and 096) because I think that it is nicer to see a convoy run on it, and possibly insure better stability, but a demi-turn or a complete circle is rather wide, at 2.44m diameter for the 096... Oh, and some Lionel stuff is on the target now... T

Finally... The MENARDS O gauge Tinplate tracks were delivered today : Probably enough to cover any temporary layout need, outdoors or indoors ! OACE

Hey Guys with Temporary Tinplate Layouts ! How do you power your tracks reliably ? What do you use ? I went the DIY way, having no adequate equipment for that... What about you ? OACE

That’s going to be a big layout. Can’t wait to see it. Finally here's one - oh, not so big, indoors, temporary of course, that lasted the afternoon : the "Bedroom County" layout Four trains could ran on it : Well... The cool IVES #1694 still need some trucks adjustment, as shown below : OACE
