OBB HOe layout "Connafeld"
Georgeconna replied to Georgeconna's topic in Continental European Modelling
Thanks JHB, its only 5x3ft JHB so nice and tidy. TBH the cost of the scenery and the like make the smaller scenes a bit more practical! Will try to get the Earlier livery Coaches next, They had quite a mix of Brown, Green, Beige etc. Also a Steamer too but they are pretty pricey for what the are. -
If there is coin to be made from these I suspect there will.

A pleasurable few hours in self imposed solitary confinement in the shed, one visit from the missus with a teapot and cup!!. The station track was determined and track cut to suit. Its typical of an Austrian NG Station from what I have seen. It is Pinned I to place at the moment. Fiddle yard to do tomorrow then holes for the point motors and soldering! Just need my modelling desk delivered!!!. Engine shed build continues.. Hope it catches the flavour of these lines.JHB will tell of off otherwise!! One thing hard to find any shots of signals and the OHLE will be a new challenge. Researching that now. Viessmann do OBB Type single arm posts but the 3 lines will mean scratch building the gantrys and by god the network of wires looks difficult. Engine shed is where the Diesel is. Enough loop Space for a 4 coach consist in the middle and outer lanes. -

Interesting vid, I think Durango for Scenery still pips it by a long mile. -

Been tipping away over the last few days as minding me Dad for the week which gave me a bit of time to think about the layout. The base board was raised 3 inches to enable a bridge to be included and I treated myself to a Blank N Decker battery Jigsaw. 90 quid so not too cheap ir dear and works very well too. -

Think the 80's will be the period here. Probably get a steamer at some stage. I hope to do OHLE and run Electrics, Diesel and Steam for interest. I will have an engine shed but normally the through stations did not have one but hey ho! -

Quick cobble of the proposed track plan. These stations tended to have loops rather than sidings. The main line being the middle track and people had to cross the track nearest the station to get on the train! The layout is 6x3ft so the extra foot gives the scene a little bit more breathing space and less clustered. 8 Only been to Austria once and thT was to see jets. They had some lovely lines for sure some survived until recent times before lifted. The OBB stuff is full of character! Feel free to chip in with ant observations please JHB. Just going off of books and YouTube. -

I decided not to use the MDF baseboard as it was not long enough and it would be difficult installing point motors under neath so went open plan and the track bed will be raised about 3 inches off the top of the base board frame. I used the legs from the MDF board. -
Ops area of the shed nearly done. Last coat of paint tonight...hopefully back modelling next week after a years break.

they will come out again. Ain't gonna sit on a tool for ages and not produce anything. Happening frequently now. Got caught with the GT3 and its 1st production errors that were corrected on the 2nd run so the 1st batch is now very much reduced in value. If an A Class new batch is released most likely will have the lighting correct. APT-E re released. GNR Single Re Released. I can go on. nothing is limited anymore, just the box and running number.
