During my holiday in the Harz Mountains I started with building an engine shed based on John Allens

Gorre engine shed. The walls are made fromm 1mm thick balsa wood and the roof shingles are made from

thin balsawood stripes.

I finally finished this kit from Aru model. Base paint and lights are done. I just need to paint the driver and to weather the locomotive.

An Introduction:

Between indecision, personal and family member's health problems, and assorted issues that led to my family moving from New York City (our life-long home) to rural Jefferson County Missouri (can you say culture shock?), I feel like I've been spinning my wheels since getting back into the hobby in 2010.

I spent the last two weeks on holiday in the northern Harz Mountains in eastern Germany.

Due to severe cold I suffered in the first week I couldn't spent as much time as planned on

riding trains on the Harzer Schmallspurbahnen (Harz Narrow Gauge Railway"

But last thursday I was able to ride on the Selketalbahn from Stiege (with turning loop) to Eisfelder Talmühle

(where the Selketalbahn joins the Harz Querbahn from Nordhausen to Wernigerode"

I have been without a permanent work bench for about three years now. A couple of trips to the land of Ikea and some persistence, here is what I have come up with. Finally completed this afternoon. Now to unpack the tools and start building some models. Never though I would miss the smell of Tenax 7R.

Hello Everybody,

I am a subscriber to Trainmasters.tv and have been reading MRH for some time.

I am based in England and currently building a small exhibition layout based on colliery railway operations.

It is named after a prominent mined coal seam in the area modelled, which is Cumbria.The layout is called 'Six Quarters'

Here are some photos of the progress so far

It has been a year already, but it's finaly here, a new scrapbook update! I will try to update the website more regularly, but sometimes life get's in the way! :)
