SUMMER-FALL 2010:  The small Z Scale layouts offered by Marklin and Walthers a few years ago (and built by Itty Bitty Lines) will be back this fall.  To start, I will be selling an operational layout in a hardwood frame, Marklin Z 
track (manual turnouts) & bridges installed, track wiring, ballast (gravel) along track, and track tested with a variety of equipment. (left picture) This is a ready-to-run layout as shown. No buildings or scenery.  That will be up to the customer to supply and install.

The pricey items with any layout is the buildings and the time and labor to assemble and weather correctly.  Many of you like the European prototype (right picture), others like American prototypes (center picture). 

The ready-to-run  layout will be offered through the  "ITTY BITTY LINES"   ebay store as they are built.

Summer 2009: Direct ordering from this website for the cork switchpads and wire products is now activated.  This will allow those who do not deal with ebay to order from us directly.

Winter 2008: A new ebay "store" has been started for the Itty Bitty Lines products. Scroll down to see the link.  To start, some of the cork items and scenery products will be available.  Offerings will change weekly, bookmark our store page!

Your build-quality is that of a true professional.  I very much appreciate the care and attention you've paid when building my layout; it shows!

"Friendly & professional layout advice...quality craftsmanship on the layout...this is the third layout from IBL...Dave's quality is outstanding!"

"The two briefcase layouts arrived, and I am pleased with the repair work that you did. All of my trains now operate flawlessly on them. P.S. I found your repair charge very reasonable."

"I am very satisfied with your wonderful work. The layout is very nice. [The hardwood frame, painting, installation of track, and electrical wiring are done perfectly] Thank you very much for having done great work!"

"Your cork switch pads are a welcome product. Using them makes the laying of the roadbed much easier and less painful!"

"...The layout arrived today. I've just unpacked it and it looks absolutely great! The wiring is as neat as a pin. if I had done it, it would have looked like a rat's nest. Thanks for a top-notch job!"

"Your display cases are of the best quality and a very good value. My collection of trains has never looked so good!"

"I just wanted to tell you what a great job you did on my Ammergau layout.  The building locations, landscaping, and the town square look terrific!"
