Sammy, wonderful! Kudos! Great way to display all those vehicles, but of course not enough busses! I’m disappointed...

 

cheers

Haha thanks Jeff! 

 

There's a separate cabinet for those ~  😛

 

Will be posting more when I get around designing how I should 'display' them, though it should somewhere be close to this  😛

Do you guys think I should have fences in-between the tram tracks and the walking street? Looks pretty dangerous to me ~  😛

 

I'm a little slow on this.  Generally, you'll find a buffer lane of (usually) parked cars. But there are places where trams run along the curb like much of Lisbon. And yes, big trams. In Japan trams tend to be alone in the middle of street. (There probably is an exception somewhere--watch it bite me!!)

It's official. I'm moving!

 

Hence, i would not be making any more progress on Takahashi town.... It will also face the axe very soon.... 

 

But, what is brighter, i get to build a NEW layout! Exciting! This time, i get more space as well!!!!   🙂 

 

I will miss running trains on Takahashi though, there are several months before the axe and the move, so i guess i'll try to run more trains now ~

Wow! Great you will have more room for trains in the new place. Sad the old layout will go away, but most of it wasn’t glued down, correct, so you can probably salvage most everything from it.

 

uh oh larger place means more storage which means more trains and busses! At least the busses don’t take up as much space. Now you can do your big bus terminal and holding hard!

 

cheers,

Haha yeah great memory Jeff! One thing i'm glad, i kept all of the usual book cases when i was 'compacting' to reduce the boxes to fit into my current 'one storage cabinet'. With the new room, i have like 5 of those!!!  😆  U know what that means!! 

 

The bus terminal... well, it will depend on how i will rebuild the room. hopefully i will have a larger table, so i can then use the current display cabinet to display the bus terminal and buses ~ I was also pondering on the idea of a bus display shelf, much like the train one i have ~ THAT would be fun wahahaha

Will you keep the idea of building the layout inside/under the dining table, or do you have other plan?

I am thinking to combine the current dinning table with a spiral up to join into another table for a larger space. As for covering from dust, i will need to refrain from the glasses... They are getting heavy as i age and i dont forsee myself to be able to lift 20kg per glass much more in the near future...  😞

Sammy,

 

id say design your tables to fit what you want for the layout. If you are not using the glass top (yes those are a huge pain to move around and like you said will just get worse with time) then the old table base may not suit your new layout well. Helixes are a pain and take up a chunk of room as well. Maybe think sectional on the layout where it comes apart into modules every 4-6’ so you could move it if you move or break apart if you need access to back areas or under for wiring.

 

looking forward to seeing the new room grow!

 

cheers

It is with great sadness, Takahashi town has been DISMANTLED and DEMOLISHED on boxing day, 26th Dec 2022....

Here's one FINAL arial view BEFORE it goes.... an almost 2 over years of constant construction to reach this stage...

It's all gone, within 5 hours...

The only take away is the table... onto a new and hopefully larger layout!

The display shelf is going as well... one last look at all its glory....

I really like this display rack, so i'm cracking my head to dismantle the silicon and detach it from the wall. It HAS to follow me, i love it so much....

Moving to a new place, like a spare hangar at Changi Airport?

 

haha more like a new bus interchange perhaps !  🙂

A spare hanger might not be big enough for Sammy's buses!!!!!!!   😁😁

 

Yap we have this intergrated transport hubs in Singapore that are multi-storied so i guess that should suffice ~

Ah, its always sad to see a great layout dismantled for a move. Hope you get a new one set up in the new place soon!

 

Indeed... It brings a tear as i took it down... and yes there will be a new layout, hopefully one that is larger! I'll need to see the space that i'll be given though, subject to the local planning authorities approval

A new and possibly larger layout sounds exiting. I expect to see more room for buses on your new layout. Or is getting a Shinkansen line priroritised?

 

Reading through your layout thread was a quite inspiring thing to do after finding this forum. I wonder, after the table layout has come to an end, do you still think the track plan chosen for it was the ideal one for you under the specific space constraints, or is there anything you'd do differently today?
