My N Scale layout inside the coffee table that I made for it. The layout measures 1200mm x 600mm.

  • It's a cockatiel, a very chatty one no less!

  • what is the maximum radius of a track of yours? thanks

  • The curves are basically a mixture of 9-3/4" and 11" radius Atlas curved track, and then flex track for the transitions and slightly larger radius curves. The base is only 23.6" wide so 11" radius is about as large as you can make a complete 180 degree turn.

  • What happens when it Derails

  • The top is hinged, you lift it up, put them back on the track, lower the top, and off you go again.

    Touch wood I haven't had any derailments anyway under normal conditions.

  • did you get the idea from model railroader magazine??? cuz i saw an article on how make one of these in there once.

  • No I was just looking at glass top coffee tables and thought gee you could put an N Scale model railway in there. I mentioned it to my wife and she said, well, do it!

  • Well obviously it's very chatty at first I thought it was a kid with ADHD. Ha ha:D

  • Do you have a parakeet??? Respond back

  • wow, that's so bad ass!! Your engineers must take Dramamine or have no vertigo. I like the crossing over itself part but that's just me. It's like a never-ending Tehachapi.

    Nice job.

  • @Derrwint oops should be the other way around what is the mimimum radius lol sorry about that cheers

  • @Derrwint thanks and it looks awesome!!!

  • I think that anyone that models in N or Z thinks of this idea at least once...I personally would have gone with a different track plan, but you still did a wonderful job.
