Pete’s Pumpkins is a micro layout I’m attempting to build in lieu of working on my somewhat larger layout. My larger N scale layout is a freelanced design roughly set in South-western Ontario Canada. While I have enjoyed working on this pike, there is some tedium as there are always some details to research, prototype equipment to purchase/make, or some buildings to scratch-build. As such, I wanted to try my hand at something simpler, so I’ve decided to build a micro layout.

Pete’s Pumpkins is a fictional narrow-gauge railway set in the rural countryside used to transport pumpkins from the surrounding fields to Pete’s Pumpkins storage facilities ‘ the barn!

I haven’t yet decided if Pete’s Pumpkins will be HOn30 or On18 scale, only that it will be constructed using the leftover N scale track. The budget for the layout is $0.00, so the goal is to build the layout using little more than the cast-off rolling stock and a common building that are laying around the house. Likewise, I’d like to see how quickly I can construct the layout, as working on my larger layout (which will never be ‘done’) makes if difficult to judge how quickly my skills have developed.

Thanks for visiting.
