Construction Start Up

By EivindPT - Posted on 15 September 2008

Today it's 16 days since I left the army, and today I can celebrate the start up on construction.

Today I started up working half an hour, which I will do every day from now on exept on tuesday. Tuesday is club day, so I will spend that day at the local club working on our new layout. For a look check out the clubs blog at blog.tmjk.no, a word of warning it's in norwegian, but it has a lot of pictures.

So what have I been doing today (and yesterday)?

I started constructing legs to my O-scale modules. Two pairs of legs are finished and ready for mounting on one of the modules on wednesday. Pictures will come when its on its feet.

I checked out your link.. that looks like some good bench work. I havent seen too many O scale layouts constructed. Should be fun to see!

Do you have a track plan on your site?

Here are some pictures.

You can find plans for the new layout here. But they have changed a bit.

Eivind,

Nice work, son. Keep on the good work.

And at last I got to see pictures from your kitchen

Looking good! I do enjoy the link to the club's blog. While in Norwegian, thankfully photography is an international language :) Jamie

For the club I think there is a track plan on the clubs blog, but I'm not sure, if it is I think you have to look in some of the first posts, but it as been revised a couple of time after that.

For my own modules I think I will be able to post a picture of the track plan as soon as I can find it on my computer.
