Exhibition Layouts - Modeling Hints - Large Scale and Other Reviews

What I Have Learned modeling the Oahu Sugar Company in Fn3 (1:20.3) in a diorama style layout using Llagas Creek Track. Set in WWII when the US government has requisitioned thousands of acres of this plantation for defense purposes. The first model engine acquired was manufactured by Bachmann. Featured in several Narrow Gauge Downunder articles. Thanks are extended to Jim Stapleton and Richard Kilday. This blog also covers from time to time modeling resources for 1:20.3 and other scales.
