I get a lot of big ideas(some are big plans of something small) and this is one of them. I have wanted to make a portable layout (like in a briefcase, or a shoe box) But never have the money for Z-scale. Anyway, I thought of a good way to do it in N. It would go inside an inexpensive briefcase, be a loop with a siding or two (since I like switching) with a cheap N-scale passenger trolly, a freight trolly, & a few short wheel-based frieght cars.
What is a good minimum radius? How much space(i.e. max. hight & min. "footprint")? Is this possible to do? what era is good & easy? Could I fabricate some 4-wheel cars out of spare axels & strip wood? What inexpensive power-block could I use for the frieght trolly?
Thank You
