  • In model railroading there is a special type of scale models, which is represented far too rarely. There are far too few model railroad layouts depicting trams, trolleys, streetcars and light rail. Therefore, in this video we will look at a miniature world dedicated exclusively to public transport. This N scale micro city layout measures just 15.5 x 39 " or 40 x 100 cm, and uses the smallest radius curves available (4" or 103 mm).
    It is not based on any particular prototype, and features buildings and trams from around the world. The backdrop and many paper buildings are made from digital photos collected while travelling, which are edited for perspective and mounted on foam board. Featured here are the Denver skyline panorama, State Theater (Portland, ME), Savannah Theater (Savannah, GA), and Hotel Chisca (Memphis, TN) among others.
    Trams, trolleys, streetcars and light rail navigate the traffic signals and corners. Three trams can be switched in or out of the outer loop using turnouts, the inner loop is continuous with no turnouts to accommodate delicate short wheelbase equipment. All parts of the city are modular so the buildings, people, cars and details can be arranged in new ways.
    Especially worth mentioning are the traffic light circuits on the superb city edge model rail layout. For both cars and pedestrians, the traffic lights are switched absolutely realistically. The video footage was submitted by a fan of Pilentum Television from the United States who was inspired to finally complete a layout after many years of unfinished ones.

    I am impressed despite my usual preference for large layouts. This is very well done. I am particularly pleased that the modeler operates the trolleys at a reasonable speed representative of reality. Too often, model railroaders run their trolleys at a speed just below the speed of light.

    What a treat. A triumph of the imagination and highly flexible diorama style layout to boot.

    One of my favorite scenes from this layout so far. I also like the airport scene.

    I love N scale! My father bought each of his daughters a train set that we set up around the Christmas tree each year. It was OS scale...immense compared to N scale.

    Really neat. I love the detail on this. Must've taken along time. Cool working traffic and pedestrian signals. Nice trams and trolleys. PCC cars 😎🆒

    Very nice layout, but if you want to operate a trolley layout, the trolleys should be powered by the overhead wire.

  • @J3scribe
    @J3scribe 2 года назад +2

    Very cool. If you're going to model that level of detail, the lack of catenary wire is unforgiveable, even in N scale.

    Want to ask, does the N-Scale fits with Matchbox Cars?

      Not quite, HO is a better match for most die cast cars

    Trams (streetcars) are ideal for bookshelf layouts. I have a European HO scale tram layout which I am currently rebuilding- video on my RUclips page.

    Intéressant, mais dommage qu'il soit si petit et qu'il n'y ait pas de trafique routier avec. Stéph.
    Interesting, but it's a shame it's so small and there's no road traffic with it. Stéph.

      Sorry mate, in N the mechanisms are a lot more toy like than scale model.
