I made a simple point to point micro layout (operating diorama) for a micro model railway contest on Facebook. The baseboard is made from foamcore that is 38 inches long and 6 inches deep at its widest point. The total layout size is 135 square inches, including staging. I'm using On30 equipment from Bachmann.

Welcome to my latest micro model railroad project, the Herrin Micro. This HO scale layout is constructed on a foamcore baseboard box with staging tracks for the industry on the left, and two staging tracks to the right. Total layout size including baseboard and staging tracks is 523 square inches. The scene is based on the old Maytag plant in Herrin, Illinois. 

Introduction:

The Wetterau Food Services Micro Layout was completed in February of 2016.  Layout planning and construction began in 2014.  I am currently enjoying operations on the layout, and wanted to share the steps I followed in building this micro layout here on MRH.   I  have learned quite a bit in building it, and hope you will find it informative.
