MRL Showcase - update
Hi all.
Work on the show case is almost done!
I have two months to get it done becase there will be a show on the 19th and 20th in Santarém, a town noth to Lisbon.
Let's see what happens!
Montana Rail Link
Hi all.
So I have been a bit quiet, because I had a hard time at work the last months (I work in a model train shop in Lisbon, and Christmas is that time of the year that we have a looot of costumers to please...)
Nevertheless, I am building a small display layout, in N scale (as stated in previous blog entries), with MRL rolling stock. I asked my father to help me on building a show case.
Well, that just happened... The show is almost completed, and them I can take it back to my place, and start working on the scenery.
New video
Hi.
I added a new video about my layout and about rail weathering.
Sorry, it is in Portuguese, but I would like to share it any way.
My work for today
Hi all.
This was my work for today.
I still want to add some storage silos and a ciclone.
1st operating session
1st operating session on my small switching layout. Still much to do!... :), still much to learn.
Hope you folks like!
Scratchbuilding is fun!
Hi all.
I have been scratch building some sort of a feed mill, based on Tom Johnson's INRAIL one(with his permission, of course).
There's still much to be done, but things are going the way I want to.
What do you think?
Best wishes.
Sunday modelling fun!
Hi all.
Yesterday was a day for modelling.
Finished tracklaying, after sanding the cork roadbed, made the wiring and connect a ROCO Multimaus to run some trains!
Wife enjoyed it, but me and my kid(he is only 15 months old, but the sound and lights made him laugh ) enjoyed even more.
I'll post some pics on the next post.
Best regards.
Let's see if this is the one...
Hi all.
I am going to start a layout. I think that is going to be the "one".
I asked for your help to plan a small freight yard, to serve just as staging yard. Well, I was over thinking about it. I opened SCARM and made a buck of trackplans, and all of the looked awful. Then, after reading Mike Confalone Allagash Story Vol1. I decided that should take an approach just like Mike does.
Made some videos...
Hi all.
I have been making some videos (sorry, they are in Portuguese) about building the New River Mining company in N Scale.
I gatthered the two Hobbys (Model Railroading and Content creation and multimedia (and everything computer related)) I have into three videos.
A new layout?
Hi all.
I really need some help, please. last time I tried to build a US layout, it was in H0, and things where going nice, until I started to do more than I could.
I had to scrap the layout, because I moved to a new place, in Feb of this year.
