The clinic continued with some more examples of Micro Layouts, drawn from the Micro Layout Design Gallery on this site. This portion of the presentation concluded with some "far out" layout ideas, including

  • Nouvion, a 20x30 inch G-scale evocation of the hit TV comedy, 'Allo 'Allo;
  • the vertical sector plate, which not only swivels but rises and falls in 3D;
  • an interactive layout where guests create their own graffiti on miniature 4x8 plywood panels that are then fixed on the layout, which represents a fenced construction site; and
  • the idea of a working helix with a 6-inch radius contained in a micro layout -- I designed it in order to represent the amazing Darjeeling Himalayan RR in India, and that sketch inspired Derek Pratt to actually build a hidden helix on his pike!
