My Work for Peruvian Layout in H0

na%20003.jpg 

Luis Alfonso Iturriaga Cendoya, Peruvian Modeller.

 

This blog contains illustrations of various places in my model, worked in H0 scale, with as much detail as possible. It is the result of my own work reflected in my layout. Each photograph seeks to show geographical features, own the land where the first Peruvian railways, overcoming extreme, abrupt and lush mountains such as the Andes were laid. And own exhibits architectural details of the history of this legendary country.

It is, perhaps, more of the same in some cases, but with touches of a single country, such as the Peru. I think you'll find images, that scale, for the first time in the history of model railroading, are represented.

I hope to give something more, my friends, in this hobby so beautiful.

Hopefully enjoy them, and in any case, to serve them something.

Very nice.

Looks like you have a fleet of diesel engines too.  Have you tried weathering anything on your layout yet?  Weathering will add another dimension to your structures and engines.

I think I have a photo taken down there of a location where the Right Of Way exits out the side of one mountain cliff face, crosses a short bridge and disappears into the cliff face of another mountain.  Below is a road and river.  It is a very dynamic scene.

What are your plans now?  Is there more to build?

One piece of advice you do not know.  On new posts create the beginning with a short introduction.  Place all your photos in a reply to your introduction.  The above is your first post.  As it grows with responses you will see that everything you put in above will repeat on every page that is added.

Very good Luis. The Inca ruins were a nice addition.I very rarely saw ruins modeled on a train layout. Thank you for the photos......John.

Here is a photo that my son took when he used to live in Arequipa, Peru. When I saw your layout and your engine it reminded of my son sending several photos of railroads in Peru

Thanks for sharing and remember me!

My friend, thank you very much for sharing that picture. I was born and raising in Lima. I currently live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In Arequipa I was just a couple of times for less than week, and this picture shows me another geographically diverse landscape of my country. For my Layout, I show more vivid landscapes in growth, similar for the first and third mountain range of Andes, for example stuck to the amazon jungle (as is Cuzco where are the famous Inca Ruins. Also "La Oroya")

I send a photos of La Oroya and some of my locomotives FCCA, so that you can see a more like what I show in my demo area.

I leave you a big hug, and thank you again for that beautifull photograph. I wish I could have more space to display more varied landscape of my nation.

Successes in all, my friend!!

Thanks for comments!

Yes man! definitely messed layout will give more realism. I acknowledge that I have some fear, because once you do, if mistakes are made, no reverse gear. But what I have in mind for later.

The place you are referring to, belongs to the Central Railroad of Perú, La Oroya way. That bridge is called "El Infiernillo" (The Little Hell). I'll share so many pictures of it:

23435(1).jpg 

43394(1).jpg 

21172(1).jpg 

Now, in my model, I put a bridge that creates a feeling of emptiness in the scale, similar to the famous bridge, just not out of a tunnel to enter another. That is what the ability of space and the logic of my lying, gave me:

da%20053.jpg 

da%20058.jpg 

da%20059.jpg 

da%20054.jpg 

Indeed I have even more to build. What I show is what is on the main structure. Even I have a slightly longer frame, but slimmer. There I intend to make a train yard longer, to maneuver in, with more comfort.

Thanks for sharing your concerns and knowledge. Thanks for the advice. I'll get it indeed!!

A big hug!!

@Luis

Yes! That is the bridge!  That makes for a great scene.  I understand your similar version as it would take up too much space to put those cliffs and mountains in your layout.

keep posting your progress.  I'm enjoying your modeling.

Out Standing!

I really like what you have done. The Inca ruins are a very nice touch. I photos of how you put a motor in the turntable are most interesting. It would be nice to get more details on that. Also, who makes the turntable?

Keep on posting photos. I want to see more.
