This compilation video shows how I built a 1’x5’ N scale switching layout in a wooden case. This layout was built over a couple of years between other projects and shows how you can have a model railroad that is fun to operate without needing a permanent space to store the layout. Everything you need to operate the layout is contained within the case, so after you are done you can pack the controllers, cables, rolling stock, and locomotive in the case, close it up, and store it in a closet.
