This large scale indoor club layout started life as a custom build of a local large-scale collector.

The 8-by-11-foot board had been unused for at least a decade and I immediately knew where this display would be best displayed — at the 7.5” gauge, 1.5” scale live-steam train club that I belong to. Many of its members also collect large-scale equipment.

This large scale indoor club layout resides in the clubhouse where we hold our meetings. I have spent time decorating and making the layout look like a fictional local town. Within the layout, there is a N scale loop, a little homage to our club. Eventually we will open the clubhouse to display the layout as well as some of our collectible live-steam models.

The club is the Southern California Live Steamers in Torrance, Calif.

  1. Love this track plan! I’m going to adopt this and modify it for use on my new O gauge layout. Thanks for sharing!
