Installed the Decauville track to the shed and cut the door so that it clears the rails...

Layed another 10 feet of track, and moved the hand car shed to where the track is flat so that when I take the cars out, they don't go zooming down the hill...









So far there's only 50 feet layed and still 190 feet to go.

I like your scenery, very realistic! I think the motorbike is a bit out of scale though.

Now take the engine off to power your scooters... or re-gauge the bike (if that's even possible ) for rail use

Take the tires off the rims and get an outrigger, you'd have a powered velocipede!

Laid some more track and the weeds are filling in nicely on the other sections for that old time abandoned narrow gauge look I really like...

















There was a huge change in the grade at the bottom of the hill (5% to 0%), so I put a 10 section between two 6x6's and jumped on it to put a bend in the middle of the rails. Now the joints are nice and straight with no stress on them.

N gauge? You can have a whole N gauge layout between that gauge!
