You can also have a couple of "special occasion" modules. I'm wanting to make something Thomas-themed, and a Scooby-Doo/haunted house end cap.

That's what the base is above

If you're looking for a base I suggest Klawndyke's mini dioramas. They are super easy to build and give you enough room to test and play around (124mm in length)

I know i would love to see more funky small American engines (even if they are technically large). We had them why not let us model them?!

*some

Mind if I ask how you did the rail embedding? I'm doing come planning and want to go for the look myself.

Yeah big ups to t trak. I didn't think I would like it as much as I do and to your point it's a great way to practice techniques in a smaller format
