Trolley Line in a Shadowbox
2 years ago
143
I recently participated in a layout build challenge at a micro model railroad group on Facebook. The challenge was to build an operating micro layout within 24 hours. A micro layout measures 4 square feet or less. My shadowbox HO trolley line baseboard is less than 57 square inches.
The trolley has no motor, so fishing line is used for locomotion. Basically, this shadowbox micro is an operating diorama, but its purpose is to represent a streetcar picking up passengers at a trolley stop near the storefronts, reversing direction, then returning back from where it came (hidden staging on the left side).
This was a fun project. Very satisfying!
Thank you for watching!
