[H0] A layout inspired from an old Atlas H0 layout

"Too late honey, I built it!" Yes it's always easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Looking forward to following the build.

Given the space, that looks about the best way to set things up!

Like my layout, it forces you to be on your toes, for sure! I can run 3 trains by myself and I have room for a switching locomotive in a yard for a 4th, but that's juggling the handheld and my brain. Sure makes for some interesting logistics!
I like it...I am sure you're going to love it too! Will be following your build!

I like that Trix C track. I'd not heard of it before, but it appears to provide its own road bed, which I have found to be pretty nice to work with.

Finally I decided to slightly modify the benchwork. I also decided to use Hornby and Peco tracks (code100). The trains run very well as you can see in these short videos. I called my layout The Constantly Changing Railroad (CCRR). Have fun !

Really quite an ingenious track plan for a small space. Definitely better than the circle.

The minimalist esthetic is enjoyable, but if one wanted to take it to the next level, I could see a rail line threading through mountains and valleys, or an urban landscape with a tram threading its way through the canyons of a cityscape.

Well done and I agree with Chops. Some scenery to give the impression that the train is moving through a landscaped area will make the train seem to be travelling some distance.

Hello there,
The original CCRR (Constantly Changing Railroad) has been extended to a larger version (82"3/4 x 43"1/4). Now it calls the New Constantly Changing Railroad (NCCRR). Hope you enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching!

I forgot to mention that I'm very happy with the result.

Just for the fun, the old CCRR (Constantly Changing Railroad) looked like this (the curves were very tight):

A wise man said: "Why don't you run two trains at the same time on your layout? That could be funny.". I'm a little crazy but not that crazy.

I have to giggle a bit at your choice of country tunes working the railroad video. Somehow when I think of people from France, I don't envision country tunes. Then I remembered when I visited Monaco and Nice, I watched the Dukes of Hazzard TV show and Bo, Daisy, and Luke were all talking French! It was the funniest thing for me to see in France...what a culture shock that was! I like the new crazy eight layout.
Just don't talk like from the south. ie: "I reck-on!" or with one car longer, you just might be wreck-in! 😆
