Current Layout by Fred van der Lubbe

Official Web Site:

Layout Status:

active

Track Type:

AF

Mainline Track Length:

90'

Notes:

The owner has an outdoor layout, which features G-gauge and G "narrow-gauge" track, where the narrow-gauge is a perfect fit of S-scale trains. This allows him to run trains of both of his favorite scales.

This high-level view shows a portion of Fred's outdoor garden layout. In addition to beautiful landscaping, the track is raised for easy viewing and maintenance and very nicely ballasted.

This photos shows the next section of track that ties into the top-right corner of the previous photo. Since the track is too low for a "duck-under", he positioned steps that allow one to walk over the layout.

Here's a close-up of view of the track. The A.C. Gilbert American Flyer train is sitting on the "Gn3" track. Fred can run S, O, and G gauge trains on his layout. This is a very creative solution to a space problem, and to also wanting to enjoy multiple scales of trains.
