Layouts
Step into the captivating world of miniature modelling and railway construction! Immerse yourself in our exhibition featuring 9 fully operational layouts, including 6 HO scale, 1 N scale, 1 G scale, and a classic Lionel set.
We’re constantly refining our track and scenery, so some Layouts may be under maintenance or not yet fully operational.
Check the current status here.
HO Layouts
HO scale is the most popular model railroading scale in the world, representing a 1:87 ratio where 3.5 millimetres on the model equals 304.5mm (about 1 foot) on the real-life “prototype”. Its name stands for “Half O,” as it is approximately half the size of the older O scale. See our 4 Operational HO layouts, or visit our Play & Drive for the other 2 HO layouts
N Scale Layout
G Scale Layout
Here is our newest layout installed in 2025. G gauge model railway is also known as garden gauge, it is 45 mm. The trains displayed here are all European. Some of the locos are capable of making smoke and all can make the necessary sounds for their type. Learn more
Classic Lionel layout
LIONEL THREE RAIL LAYOUT
Scale is O Gauge (1 to 48 which is about double HO). These are expensive American Lionel three rail trains from 1950s. The central rail is the power input for these three rail tracks; driven sometimes by DC or AC. The two tracks are :- inner is called O-27 (sharp 27 inch radii curves) while the outer is Lionel FASTRACK brand. These two circuits are set up on DC with extra amps as the trains are very heavy and power hungry. Many additional Lionel trains are exhibited on the shelf above. The landscape is fun driven with coloured animals plus a snow mountain & ski lodge with skiiers to celebrate our winning of three gold medals at the 2026 winter Olympics. This layout was built from donations in late 2025 with the snow feature added in early 2026.
GAUGE (TRACK WIDTH): N = 9 mm; HO (or OO) = 16.5 mm; O = 32mm; G = 45 mm.
