one word: AMAZING Thanks for the picture it really shows how dificult is to do it.

Size comparisons? Hi there Robin, as I said before I'm also a big admirer of your work, it even inspired me to do this year's Christmas Crib out of Cereal box's, but the purpose of this post is to ask, if possible, to take a picture of this structure near a CD case so that I could be aware of...

Few more things about Portuguese Railroads Just to complement information given by Luis, we only have one Railroad Company, it's name is CP it's owned in majority by portuguese government. In our tracks we can also see trains from Refer (Spanish Company) namely the talgo wich does international...

Thanks Robin, I'm sure if had your talent it would be a lot easier, but I'll try my best :) If you want to see more pictures of my very small(TM) and first :) layout you can check this thread I posted two weeks ago: http://www.the-gauge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7389

Thanks to everyone! Well nothing like asking for suggestions to see the light, the parking lot idea is prety obvious but for some unknown reason it never ocurred to me :) Thanks also for the ideas of the Railroad Cafe and the office, I once saw a small cafe that was made of an old Railroad...

Picture! Since I'm here, here goes a picture from the other side of the layout:

Hi, since I made some small adjustments to my layout I now have a small space for wich I'm not sure with what to fill with. I was thinking of a Scrapyard, or an old/dismanteled car deposit, something similar to this one from Woodland Scenics: http://www.woodlandscenics.com/images/s130b.jpg...

Great layout Shamus, I love the way you depict nature in your layout, everything seems so real. As for the map, yes it's a great way to picture everything together, the only suggestion I have is if it was possible to mark in the map where you can click, with the symbol of a photo camera for...

Hi there rguyett, a also assembled that structure 2 month's ago I found it very interesting since it has so many pieces but the guards were a bit frustrating to put on place, the kit even comes with a bag of coal :) . I also bought the the motor to run the wheels. Mine is on the center of the...

Hi there Ricardo, congratulations on your great layout, you must have spent a lot of money on it, I like the "green scenes" since they are my favourites, I use the same grass as you do but to get the effect I want I usually deploy three layers of it. The last one doesn't get anything on top (to...

Congratulations, it's a great layout you got there, I like specially the weathered tracks. Another thing I like is the fact that this layout gives you the oportunity to run two trains in diferent directions wich give a great effect. Keep showing your progress.

Hi there roryglasgow, the grade is a bit steep, it's 8% but in my defense I can say that this is a passenger only line. I pretend to buy a Railbus from fleischman, this one: http://www.lokshop.de/Img/FLE/7/4/7400.jpg The infos about it can be found here...

The control panel Finally here's a pic of the control panel, I'll have to add 3 more buttons since I added recently the "industrial line". The screws aren't on the place. The leds on top are there to check the status of an hidden turnout.

With the consist, a small one :) Some cars attached

The Loco As for rolling stock this is my only loco in the present, it's from Roco and is the V200 from DB.

Some more pics Hi there, I've taken some more photos, but first of all: Ricardo: Of course I would like to visit your "nucleo" maybe we can arrange a date that serves both, I work in "2ª Divisão da PSP" from 9 to 5 so during this period would be great. Daniel: I liked the pics in your...

First of all thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. As to questions made by Daniel, well, since I started in this hobby only a year ago I only have one loco, it's a diesel one from the series V200 from Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) painted in the beige/blue scheme. I also have a mix of freight...

Well this is the last one for now, are these little people so occupied that they can't see the ufo aproaching? then again it may just be the lenses of the digicam :) Oh, I forgott to add, I'm a big admirer of Robin's scratch&batch work, and more amazing it's the scale he uses, I mean I even...

On this one I need some advice, I built this bridge of a Vollmer kit, as you can see it's a blue colour that doesn't seem very real, what colour should I use to make it look real? I think weathering n scale bits is the most challenging and sometimes frustrating part of the hobby, I mean the bits...
