The Port LEGO Rail Authority – North Bay was my first attempt at an operating layout in a small space. I built this one in 2004 in my BOQ room at Fort Rucker, AL while I was attending flight school. It was a freelance non-protype layout set in the fictitious city of Port LEGO where most of my childhood LEGO creations resided. It borrows some elements from the classic Timesaver switching puzzle such as the switchback and a runaround. It also incorporates many other design features that creep up in later layouts such as Daigon Alley flats lining the backdrop by the team track and the Industrial Thingamajig building that later became the warehouse flats in Wrightsmouth. Reposted here as part of my thoughts on thinking small and shelf switchers in Lego.
