Very nice, reminds me of my young days...

Hey awesome work.

Pretty! =3

YOur so lucky ;.; wish I could afford to rebuild my old layout

Good job,is very nice...

+

that is very cute and very creatice for sutch a small lay out ^^

My dad has a christmas village set up, but it's cheezy-named building. Like "Real Plastic Snow Factory".

It's from Department 56, btw. They have many, *many* buildings. He says he has several thousands of dollars into these buildings. They're old and plenty of the ones he has are not made any longer.

that looks beautiful ... oh i wanna play ^^

I'm still happily amazed at how many furs are also model rails, I don't feel so out of place.

I'm among them. :)

Hooray N scaler! I'm one as well! In fact I got two new locomotives for christmas. :D

You use digital?

Not yet. I don't do enough complex operations to require it. My motive power is DCC ready though.

paws at trains , derails a train , runs away

Lots of detail for such a small scale. Beautiful work!

There's something so romantic and soothing about building and running model trains, IMO. Brings me back to a simple, happy time in my life. ;o)

Thank you so much for posting these pics. It's very cool to see stuff like this on FA. ;o)

Thanks!!

How do you know that Captain Picard chooses 1/160th for his modeling? At the end of every show, he'd point at the camera and say, "N Guage!"


I'm an N Scaler as well. Northern Pacific Railway, late 60's my preference in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. I've built too many layouts, including a 12x20 public display layout I donated to a museum. I've written articles for magazines and done my share of reviews and model photography gigs. It's a whole 'nuther world of creativity. I'm not surprised to find more anthro artists who are model railroaders too. :)


For years my handle on GEnie's BBS system was FERROEQUINE.

*GROAN* :)

Ah, I didn't know you were into this as well. 12x20 is quite a bit bigger than my 2x4 footers. I hope to build something bigger eventually, but it will probably have to be modular. I use foam board for the bottom, to cut weight.

NTRAK was fun too.

I keep thinking I want to build a shelf layout since I love switching and operation. I'm halfway tempted to change scales (aaaaaaaah!) and go to HO for a self contained shelf switching layout so I could do handlaid trackwork. That was fun in the past. Do something with the Timesaver included.

So many things, so little time.

Is this part of a project or sorta ?

It was, yes.

Excellent layout, Lysozyme. Reminds me of the big one my father still works and plays with down in Virgina. He build his own town hill and mountains, etc around it.

That's cool. KInda like a Xmas Village thing.

'cept a bit smaller :)

I still have the box car in my glass wardrobe

:)

but the one what you've sent me a year ago...

I only do V scale myself.

I don't have any place to put a train in muh apartment.

* tailwags *

I'm waiting to clear space in my basement for mine.

Only thing is I'm into O Gauge, so I have a number of engineering challenges before me :)

On the other hand, I did get a test track set up in my living room to test-run various equipment, documented on my YouTube page

Didn't know they had an O scale Acela :)

It was a limited edition of 2000 sets by Lionel. It's got motorized doors, pantographs, and coaches that tilt themselves in curves above 30 scale MPH, not to mention full digital sound from both locomotives, co-ordinated through infrared links between cars.

It also lists for more than a couple of grand with all six cars. I saved for more than a year to get mine :)

maaaah. nice work. I'm building a Railway too. My scale is 1:120 Table Top. :)

Yay for Shay! Nobody gives the geared locomotives their props anymore. Good job.

Awwww, does bring back a lot of memories. ^.^
