I started building the station building and platform

Hello,

during the last weeks I added some additional storage space above my fiddle yard, and installed lights above the fiddle and Lochdubh.

I also started with the construction of the station building which is based on Mallaig Station, and the platform. I built these from styrene strips of different sizes.

Video from the FREMO regional meeting at Hanau

A couple of weeks ago, I visited the FREMO regional meeting at Hanau near Frankfurt. I made a video during my visit. But I had to remove the first one because of the bad quality.

Here you could see the new version.

 
I hope you enjoy the video.

Start of the Lochdubh & Achnasheen Railway

Hello,

due to my housemove I had to size down my modelrailway. My new railway room is now about 13x10 feet in size, compared to about 13x13 feet in the old house. As mentioned earlier I sold two of my stations to friends. Here I started with the new benchwork for my new model railway layouts. I used Ikea Ivar cupboard system parts and plywood for the construction. Here a video update I made some time ago.

FREMO Regional meeting at Hanau 2017

You could find the pictures I made during the meeting here.

Gorre & Daphetid Sorethroat Branchline Mk2

Due to a job change and house move I have started to tear down my british N scale and american H0 scale layouts. My new layoutroom is smaller than the actual one so I can't use parts of the Sorethroat branch layout. But I try to reuse as much track as possible. For my new H0 G&D Sorethroat branch layout I was inspired by two track plans from Ian Rice, one is small town on the prairie and the other is White Horse Logger, where I used the Lumber Mill trackplan.
