Evans Hollow Industrial

The Evan’s Hollow Industrial is a small industrial switching layout being built on a hollow core door.

I’ve never used a hollow core door as a baseboard before so along the way we’ll both learn about:

  • the challenges and benefits of using hollow core doors for your layout baseboard
  • designing, and building, trestle legs
  • wiring for DC and DCC
  • laying track
  • using the wire in tube method for turnout operation
  • operations, and how to use excel to achieve your operations needs

Use the menu at the top of each page to navigate through the series.

Some in progress images of the layout:
