Model Rail Stories - The Circle Line(N Scale)

An in depth look at an unusual N Gauge layout called the Circle Line built by Terry Tasker. The layout is built on a 5 foot circular baseboard.

Nice concept for a small layout well presented.

Thanks for putting this video together of my layout The Circle Line. Brings back lovely memories of Model Rail Scotland.

Hi Terry

[@joechallis7187]

Yes it is N gauge. I am getting ahead of myself I'm starting to build a 12ft dia similar to the circle line. I took the details of the oo gauge from my shopping list for model rail Scotland this weekend.

That's an interesting concept. Yet another advantage of N Scale. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video, I loved this layout ever since I saw it in Glasgow. It was good of you to say how the boards were made, I might have to do something similar. I wonder if it would work in 00. Thanks, Mel

[@andygebbie]

Hi Mel, Glad it was helpful! Scaling up to OO would be interesting. I think you'll need to check your minimum track radiuses before you start. That will determine the likely size of the baseboard. Good luck I hope it works out for you. Andrew

Great video. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos to get inspired to build my first layout. What is the product he uses to make the scenery? Powder something?

[@andygebbie]

Hi Steven, The product Terry uses is called Paverpol which is available on Amazon but is also available from many craft sites. It is a cloth sculpting hardener produced in Holland. Hope you find inspiration soon.
