Mt Foo-Gee, N-scale Shinkansen high-speed layout

[b.nice2000]

Hi all, 

I'm near Newcastle in NSW, Australia.

I am working on a 12.5m long x 0.9m Japanese layout which I have named Mt Foo-Gee

It has two double track, a high level and a low level...a smaller tram track,  LOTS of temple.. and of course...

... "Mt Foo-Gee",  a small volcanic peak which I will put a smoke unit under at some stage.

 

Couple of videos (very noisy sound !)

 

 

 

Here some early stage pictures

Andy,

 

wow that definitely a shinkensen layout! Nice long runs. I like how you wandered the lines a little and it’s not one long straightaway. Makes the trains do an interesting moves for the eyes after a long run. Do you have any 16 car shinkansens yet?

 

thanks for posting this, looking forward to its growth.

 

cheers

Yep, I have at least one 16 car train.  Once I have a bit more scenery done I will run some longer ones and film them. 🙂

Few layouts can do 16 car trains without then chasing their tails.

Starting to work on the "city" area of the layout.

 

Have posted some of the buildings I have been making, in the Structures section of the forum.

 

These two pics are of the start of the station building.. nothing glued in place yet, though.
