Btw, last friday I purchased this beauty :D It's the Central Control 2000 from Trix. I bought it at Eurospoor 2003, a dutch model railway event. For only $50, and they sell these new at around $250! :D It's possible for me to run 9 locomotives in dcc with it. I'll be fine for now and I...

I done a lot at the first module today :) I weathered and placed 4 switches plus 4 meters of track in the staging area. The uncoupler magnets are also in place! I might do a little switching tomorrow, I can hardly wait! :D Sorry folks, no pictures yet. The camera is not home atm, it will be...

The uncoupler magnets are underway! Soon I will be able to finish the switchyards of the first module! :) I've also ordered 56 40' containers for my 28 gunderson husky-stack cars, I can't wait to show you guys some pictures of this train. It will be over 3 meters long in totall and that's...

Thanks for the response guys! I'm going to ballast the slopes with additional ballast. I've done a few parts and it looks good.

Hello people, I've just layed the main line on my module and it might be smart for me to ask this first before I continue with balasting it completely. I use a small strip of cork, it's 12mm wide and 1,5 mm thick which fits exactly under the rail. (it's Z-scale) When adding ballast I...

Thanks guys! pray59, I used 0.3mm electric wire to elevate my track. I ordered some uncoupler magnets and I got to wait for them before I can continue my work on the inner yard. It'll take 2 weeks for them to get here so it will take a while before I post new pics.

*Finally* I had some time last weekend to finish my main line. I still have to work on the balast. I want to show you some pictures of the banked corner that's in the main line, enjoy!

The track is becomming gorgeous! :thumb:

I seen your work before!, it's a honor to have you here! :) I wonder how your current project is going to look like in it's final stage, wow :eek: I'm glad I chose for Z-scale! :D

I've been talking about taking a pictures of a N and Z locomotive from the same type so you can compare the difference in size between the two, well here it is! :) And another one: Now you know how big a Z-scale locomotive is compared with a N-scale one. A mystery has been solved...

A small miracle has happend My parents bought a digital camera! I didn't had the budget right now to buy one for myself so I'm very happy to show you guys a picture allready :) I just figured out the digital zoom! :D The picture shows my testtrack with a SD45 and husky car. For the people who...

I know em, they're good :)

it must be nice to walk between those friendly metal giants on a quiet sunday morning :)

I've decided to build my layout in the fall season theme, you know why? This is why :): Waaay too beautiful!!! :D

Thanks for the input guys! I made a new design: Good one Ralphe, the extra track was intended for holding a locomotive(s) which are waiting to get on the yard if the turntable is occupied. But I can see an additional function now as Ready Track for a switcher that comes of the engine...

Hello fellow model railroaders. I'm planning the 2 prime modules and I need a little criticism and comments. I'm pretty satisfied with the plan as it is now. I've been using this site as a guideline: http://www.housatonicrr.com/yard_des.html This is the totall view of the 2 modules (RIP...

I've been working on my layout. You can see I'm busy with the yard. After seeing SD90s layout I just had to add a siding! It does add some extra operating fun :) The siding alows a train with 2 loco's and 17 cars, I hope that's enough for me :)

Well then the wright turnout is the best choice. I've read very positive reviews about this turnout. Some locomotives seemed to stall on a Marklin switch, this problem is fixed at the wright turnout.

Eventually the wright turnrouts will be more expensive because you got to buy some extra electronics to make it switch. I'm using the Marklin turnouts which work right out of the box and they have about the same price. Marklin's are just fine. I'm going through your photo album right now...

The first 2 tables are up but I'm going to adapt them. I've designed a simple rule for my tables: The length should be devideable by 50cm and the width is free. I think it's important to add this rule because when I'm going to live on my own I need to be able to easely install and fit them into...
