Interested to know which part of the world you are modelling.  I have split UK out from Europe as it has 1:148 scale. If you have more than one layout, please can you vote for your main layout.

Seems to be broken - if I select Europe it unselects the UK (leaving aside the UK being part of Europe  :-\ )

Some of us have multiple layouts

It's not broken.  Pengy has made the poll to have just one vote - which is obviously a problem if you have more than one layout, but the question is more of what you model as an individual, so I'm guessing you'd have a mix.  Just that the fantasy bit would be wrong.  I'll leave it up to Pengy to sort out!!! ;D

I'd love to model some Russian trains as, being a true northerner, I love grimness. But I suspect the chance of getting GF or Dapol to produce a VL85 loco would be quite slim.

What they'll do is assume that it runs standard gauge, and not 5 foot gauge.  At least that won't be as obvious an error as the company that made an HO Scale Garret (whose 1:1 track is 2 foot) to run on 16.5 mm track.

UK and US for me, although after seeing a great Japanese layout at TINGS, I could be tempted....  :hmmm:

...and then add German, Swiss, Australian etc...
                                                                               This could get expensive... :smackedface:
If it's got rails... you have my full, undivided attention - Steam, diesel and electric, 'tis all good !

Mine is a fictitious branch off of the North Cornwall Railway,It's called Morwena,named after Morwenstowe,the reason my Dad was stationed there during WW 2,he was working on mobile ground to air radar with the American Army.

I would like to do a South African route,but there isn't really any thing suitable,I could repaint some American Railroad loco's and stock to look like SAR trains of the 1960/70's,the reason why I worked for SAR\SAS in the 1970's

It's and interesting Poll, and just 'cos you asked...

Very definitely New Zealand, specifically the North Island, and even more specifically, the section between Pohakura and Kawhia.

(You may care to Google it - it's a somewhat rugged area.)

On the subject of "fantasy railways", around 1972 or 3 I built a diorama of a layout set on the Moon using a converted DC3 fuselage as the train, running on 00 track, and with the Airfix Astronaut set as passengers, Moonbuggies in the car park etc. Sadly no picture survives. I guess that passes as a "fantasy line"?  :-\
If it's not a Diesel Hydraulic then it's not a real locomotive.
