The Hornby tank wagon body is a good match in length and width, for the Plarail chassis, requiring very little work, other than trimming some plastic

This is the end of the layout, with the "main line" curving past the shed into the fiddle yard. The concrete is merely some "Busch" card sheets cut

Tomy Plarail

Over the last 50 years, I've had everything from Z gauge to LGB. Here are some photo's of my current layout.
Being short of space, I find the Plarail "shorty" trains are a convenient size, while the sharp radius curve track sections are a great space saver too !!
Prototype, accuracy and scale are not quite on the agenda ! but you kinda get the idea, lol, it's great fun !!
