Christopher Creighton is constantly improving his circular On18 layout, Ganaraska Stone Quarry Tram. He brought it from Toronto to the 2002 Midwest Narrow Gauge Meet where these shots were taken showing the high level of craftsmanship and completion he's achieved.

 This delightful photograph arrived in the e-mail
one day, unattributed. If the photographer will identify himself/herself, I would
like to extend the proper credit and congratulations on making a great shot! |

 My very first model railway was a micro layout,
in the early 1960's! It was a 12"x24" loop of track with a single siding,
running a couple Brill four-wheel and eight-wheel trolleys. And yes, the overhead
wire actually carried current. This ancient Polaroid photo has seen better days,
but it accurately depicts my micro Roots. |

 Bliss Bignall, of San Angelo, TX created this
very large pizza layout in On30, as a Christmas attraction for his local train
depot. It's about four feet in diameter and has no turnouts. The immediate inspiration,
Bliss reports, came from a hobby-shop sale of HO sectional curves for 50 cents a
package. It was too good a deal to pass up! Bliss is also working on a new small layout with tighter curves and some turnouts. We hope to bring you more news of his efforts in future scrapbook pages. |

MYSTERY MICRO FOUND IN OHIO! While driving through Burton, Ohio
on a recent weekend, I was brought up short by the sight of a narrow-gauge railroad
running at right angles to the highway. Upon investigation, it proved to be a real
life micro layout, with both 15" and 12" gauge trackage (and a fascinating
dual-gauge turnout - above right). The little layout appears to serve a sawmill (behind
the station in the photo above left) and it also has some carriages (shrouded for
winter on the passing siding) for taking kids and railfans for a ride.
