After having unearthed my Westside Model D&RGW T-12 4-6-0, which rested forgotten in its box for 35 years, I am now looking to find a place for it to go to work.
As I have very little space and even less funds, all I can do is a micro-layout, which may be expanded at a later date, once things improve.
I already have some leftover Shinohara track and 3 #4 turnouts, which I found resting next to that red box.
This is may layout idea:
Are there plans for a cassette or track going beyond the right end? The extra length of some kind is needed to make the runaround functional.
Everything else looks like a nice micro.
my thoughts, your choices

Fred,
yup, thre will be a 2 ft. detachable cassette for staging tho the right, and maybe later, an addition line a return loop, should my negotiations with SWMBO on the issue of more real estate prove to be successful.
That’s a lot of switching. I like it!

Thanks, Wolfgang!
As there are only very few things I need to buy before I get started on it, chances are pretty good that my T-12 will find a home [swg]
I have yet to find a source for a 56´ turntable - any ideas where to look?
Hi there Ulrich,
That is a very nice looking micro layout - good luck and keep the forum posted with pictures if possible!

Here’s a 56’ gallows turntable I found with a quick google search.

Peter,
that´s exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
I updated the 2-D drawing a little, as I found the buildings to be out of proportion.
This is where I stand now:
