Field Railway to Fire Up your Imagination
by Friedhelm Weidelich
In Stadtoldendorf, Germany, Martin Krane recently exhibited its compact 0e field railway once again. It shows that you can build an interesting motif in 1:45 on the space of an H0 layout. In 1:35 or in the true 1:32 scale you would not need much more space. Maybe a reason to think about a little layout.
33 photos with many ideas for your imagination.

We start with a field railway in 1:32. 46 photos of a compact, versatile layout.
