Made a coffee table sized train-set over lockdown.
I made this!

Nicely done
I’m currently surrounded by Brio track.

Brio is brilliant
But they've *just* about left that in terms of age - Hornby is amazing but a little bit too big, so I'd recommend this scale for anyone lacking space! Plus it means the old bastards can gaze upon it with wonder, too.

You got further than my hubby did
He went for N gauge, spent a bloody fortune on track, controllers, rolling stock... laid the track, didn’t get as far as any scenic work and hasn’t run a train round it since June
So it’s gathering dust and I no longer have a coffee table!

Yeah I research N gauge - it's quite deceptive in terms of size, isn't it?
Ends up taking up a lot of space. This is narrow gauge, so the trains can whip around tight corners (but it can't be anything more than 4 wheels).
It wasn't *too* expensive - I think N gauge would have cost more. The track isn't that much, the mdf/insulation foam I used wasn't loads - the trees etc. probably cost the most. I had the 3d printer already which cut obvious corners and the donor train chassis were 2nd hand on Ebay.
