It is like a patchwork of everyone’s imagination.
I’d totally be up for designing a small industrial scene or maybe a gritty urban alley with some weathered buildings and graffiti. A traveling modular layout sounds especially cool—imagine seeing everyone’s module come together at a show or even just swapping them around occasionally to refresh the story.
And a virtual build? That could be awesome too. We could vote on a theme, set a few base rules (dimensions, track placement, etc.), and just let the creativity flow. Plus, it’s a great way for folks who can’t meet in person to still feel involved.
Model railroading is fun solo—but there’s something truly special about working on a shared layout. Every builder brings their own creativity and techniques, and watching it all come together is inspiring.
💡 What if we each took a small scene—urban, rural, industrial—and linked them together into a continuous story?
Or maybe we could design a traveling modular layout, where each section is portable and designed by a different member?
📸 Even a virtual collaboration could work—post updates, vote on design choices, share tips, and build alongside each other from different corners of the world.
Let’s get the conversation going!
