HO SCALE: Lockport Industrial (in 4 square feet)
Back in May of 2018, I was asked to design a micro urban industrial switching layout set in the transition era. The client also sent a track plan for a waterfront scene that he liked (I did as well), and wanted it used as the basis for the design that he wished to be mocked up in 3D. I assumed the track plan was from a British source, since it used a fiddle track for staging, which I also incorporated in this design in lieu of a run-around track. Overall, the plan came together nicely, and has a lot to offer in only 4-square feet.
