2023 Christmas Micro Layout Challenge
🔨📏 Build a Pizza Layout📏🔨
There are no big prizes. The challenge is there to stimulate creativity and encourage micro layout building. The winning entry, voted on by the members of the Micro Model Railroad Cartel on Facebook, is featured as the header photograph on the page for the year. Plus, the winning layout will be featured in the pages of The Dispatch at the winners convenience.
Subjects in the past have been to build a layout in one square foot, and building your own take on the original Squarefoot Estate Railway plan.
This year, the challenge is much simpler. The challenge is to build a Pizza layout.
The pizza layout was probably the most popular subject on the original carendt.com website, and there were many regular updates devoted to the concept. The term “Pizza Layout’ even has its own Wikipedia entry, and the concept still has many supporters around the world today. As a small space model railway idea. You can’t beat a pizza layout.
The Rules.
The baseboard can be no larger than four square feet. That’s a maximum of a two feet by two feet square or a 27” diameter circle.
The baseboard can only be square or circular.
The track plan can be a circle, oval, or squared circle. A figure eight folded on itself is permissible. You can use flex track, sectional track or you can hand lay your track.
The layout must be built between March 1st and November 30th 2023
Turnouts and sidings are acceptable.
A turnout to an external storage track to change trains is permitted but not compulsory. Any storage area DOES NOT count towards the size limit
The deadline for construction is November 30th 2023.
Photographs will be uploaded to an entry thread on the Facebook page on December 1st
A video proving that the layout works must also be uploaded.
You can upload as many photographs as you like of your entry but only one photo will be used in the entry judging thread.
Above all. Have fun!
