The German stuff is spectacular in this scale but way above my pay scale.

Excellent will pop over there for a gander! love the two rollers under the wagon! great ol system in all fairness.

Got some . 5mm static grass and leaves from GModel Scene - Supplies for railway modellers and builders! and had a go at a hedge for the hotel. Need to sort the lights in that next as I am sick of looking at it roofless That looks fantastic, What Railway is that from? any chance of a few more piccies. When I laid the track I did no thave the Transporter wagons at the time so did not allow for it. I might make up a mast from some brass and use the arms from one of the RTR jobs. and place it outside the siding. Wont look right I reckon though.

Major planning error, one mast between the siding and running line is too close to the wagons and they snag so I can only reverse in at the moment. Might get a mast that can be located out side the siding to enable straight through running.

Yep, Only came across these things recently. Amazing!

Wonderful representation of Valve gear in motion, AI. Chapelon was ahead of his time. Enjoy...

A few trees going in, road being prepped for painting and done more grass down.

2 2nd hand luggage and passenger coaches arrived today. Hard to get so delighted with these. The wife not so much as I used her baking sieve to sieve some soil out for the layout and there was a few tiny stones stuck in it that got into the cake mix. Ooops

Ooops! Could be a shop up there too!

After the boring F1 decided to do more boring stuff! I wanted to add in a viewpoint of the gorge and waterfall so needed a bridge to the viewing area. Lots of gricers get up their too. The spares box was raided and came up with this. Probably overkill and you could run a panzer 4 over it rather than the odd solo hiker.

Sorry to bore the hole off you lads but another bit done this evening. I chose to obtain the Viessman lighting kit, product number 6726 for €5.63 each as opposed to around €14.00 each ready to plant options. A simple, enjoyable and dare I say an exciting outcome, They all worked! one wire had come off a LED but easily soldered back on. Ignore the platform edge sticking up, its not glued down yet. toying with a few lights in the station building.

Shame it ended as such really. TBH I would not be showing me face.

Hi Folks, Bit of an up a down this week, The Steam loco is kaput for some reason or another. No blanking plate to test of dcc so had to order a plux 22 decoder to test if it is the decoder or otherwise. bit of a shame that, Probably need to go back to Roco for a fix. This is the 2nd issue I have had with a Roco Loco where I had to replace a motor in a barely used 1099. On the plus side my order for a sound equipped 1099 arrived so had a little play with that. electric locos really sound weird when compared to diesels and steam! It is an upgrade of the earlier models I bought with LED lighting and cab lights. I preferred the Filament bulb glow really. Also some passengers installed in 2 coaches, you can barely see them! Got some viessman platform lighting kits as well and 2 cranes from Kibri. hate string being used for cables so will change that as they never hang straight down.

Thanks but stíl loads to do... Another bundle coming from Gerrmay today. Spending far too much on this!! Little vid. HnVideoEditor_2025_11_25_000915515.mp4

Added some Walthers HO lights to the station and engine shed. Got these ages ago and they fit right in.

Oh this looks special! Love the last photo. Oozes atmosphere. Tuned in big time.

Are the Cylinders on top of the boiler on that loco. Traction engine style? Looks like a good start!

I tried clay and it failed. Air dry stuff, All cracked up. Went carboard in the end. had this pop up on my feed recently. Loads of others.

I find they just adds to the overall atmosphere really!

Nice one Lad missed that completely! I was wondering, will have to wait so for a Southern option.

I have the Hornby 08, Happy with that but needs Stay Alive installed at some stage. Sound is a bit naf and no lights so could be an order for my 1sty AS loco! Looks great and the DCC sound is fair too. Is there any payment plan set up yet to spread the costs? Tell me where was this one based please? Nothing on the serial and I have tried a few Databases.

Hillside being tackled. The RTM Green keeper is the business.

Final bit of rock face done, bit of a lawn and a veg patch going it and some flowers.

Bit of lunchtime fun.

The postie Brought a nice train pack from a shop located in Graz Austria called KUK Modelbahn - Home and after an enquiry the chap advised he had the train pack I wanted but I could only pay by bank transfer. Oh!!! Some research on the net about the owner made it look legit and some money was transferred and fingers and toes crossed the pack arrived today. phew. It Consists of a DCC sound steam loco RH399, coach, Bogie Van and 2 roller wagons and 2 standard gauge trucks as loads. Only downside is no lights on the loco but I might look into that at some stage. I also got delivery of a 4 pack of Roco 4 wheel Passenger coaches which were on offer from €184.95 to €99.99 from Modelbahnshoplippe. I think I only need a couple log wagons to max out the stock I need to make it interesting and will call it a day. In the pack also were to rollerwagons and here they are on test with the diesel. Here is a video or the real things inaction. HnVideoEditor_2025_11_03_200608908.mp4 HnVideoEditor_2025_11_03_201413450.mp4
