This layout is actually built on a door. The unbelievably elaborate scenery (partially made with the assistance of his father) can cause you to utterly forget the little size of the scene.
Here’s a great example of an n scale hollow core door 3×6 layout that contains elaborate scenery including mountains and dual rails. The narrow sections of the door provide excellent run ways for the trains with long track ways.
