Tony’s been in touch. He’s running 3 trains on 3 x 6 n scale layout:
“Hello Al,
Attached are a few photos of my N gauge layout, 6 ft x 2ft 3 inches plus a short video.
Having successfully managed to fit three separate trains running via DC, I now want to start over with a few more options.
Due to my age and lack of mobility, all wiring is surfaced mounted and now I would like to build a multi level layout and have lighting featured in buildings etc and use landscaping to hide the cables.
If any of your readers has any suggestions, I would be happy to consider.
Keep up the great work.
Kind Regards
Tony”
A big thanks to Tony for sharing this – running 3 trains on 3 x 6 n scale layout.
Please do leave a comment below if you can help with ideas for his next one – a multi level with surface mounted wiring. Any ideas?

That’s all for this time folks.
Please do keep ’em coming.
And if today is the day you get started on your layout, the Beginner’s Guide is here.
Best
Al
PS More HO scale train layouts here if that’s your thing.
Need buildings for your layout? Have a look at the store.
They are great fun to make and great value too.









Sorry fella’s That looks bigger than 3×6
Beautiful! Amazing what you’ve accomplished in 6 feet. It looks much larger thanks to your great backdrop and scenery. Thank you for sharing your photos and video Tony.
Tony that is a delightful layout , you have managed to get a lot on that platform … good job . Don’t know I have any suggestions on wiring, but I do like your layout .
In reply to Allan, my layout is SIX FT by TWO FEET THREE INCHES and is N Gauge !
Allan I agree that is much larger than what they described
I have been on this site for many years picking up ideas, watching the development / process of layouts BUT the thing that DRIVES me crazy is the speed that they run these trains at. Sorry but with the size x speed these trains should be taking off for flight. Your layout is fantastic
Sure would like the track plan for this layout
