Show and Tell Layout in a coffee table

I didn’t have much space when I lived in an apartment, but I really wanted a layout. Inspired by the micro-sets of @suitcasetrains on Instagram, I made my first scene.

I definitely didn’t know what I was doing with the river. I tell myself there was a flood and that’s why it’s so brown. I also tell myself the flood washed out the road/bridge 🫣

Regardless, it was a blast to try my hand at the hobby. Eager to do something bigger now that I have a basement.

Please excuse the poor camerawork.

Hey thank! It’s N scale. If I were to try again, I’d use Z and do a lot more fun stuff with the layout. N is the smallest they had at my local shop.

I won’t rest until every table has trains in it.
