A Small N-Scale Micro Layout: Building the N Scale Donation Layout (Full Timelapse)

This is just a condensed compilation of the three-part series of building this layout I built and donated to a school fundraiser.
• Buy me a coffee to help support this channel: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/stephens...

The layout took about 12 total hours to build, spread out over a few weeks, for a total materials cost of around $250 (including the train).
