Railway/model railway

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

TNX man I appreciate it! During summer and early autumn progress is kinda slow due to my brother's 2 jobs so we're scattered all over the place. Late autumn and especially winter is the time when our model railway comes alive again... I will keep you posted!

Looking forward to it. Love the passion and detailed work. Second favorite thread on this board.

Awesome work! Brings back fond memories of my grandpa yelling at me for playing with my Joes on his train set.

Whoa, that looks incredible! I love all the detail you've put into this project.

I look forward to seeing the finished piece!

My Dad and brother were into HO scale trains, but now my brother does N scale, simply because of space.

There's gotta be some HO stuff laying around here someplace. Really old things.

Told you we're taking it slow lol. Well many of modelers focus on only one particular era and buy only trains and wagons from that time. Well not us, we do not discriminate haha! We're fascinated with all engines from all around the globe. So you could find steam, electricity and diesel on our tracks. Just to show a few...

Private railroad company Era 5

German Federal railroad Era 5

German Federal railroad Era 3

German Federal railroad Era 5 & 3

P.S. Noticed the bug in the first pic and damn it was still there!

Love both of them equally.

By no means am I an expert in trains but I think serious enthusiasts are willing to spend thousands on certain engines and cars. (from what I've seen on eBay)

Am I correct?

Glad to see they're not letting the Big Boy just sit there, left to rot.

Ive always loved the model train hobby, as a kid I had a full set. But unfortunately Ive never had the space to do get this indepth with the detail.

Same here.
I especially enjoyed the time my father spent with me putting the set together.
He built a 5' x 4' table for the styrofoam diorama that was prepainted, but together we laid out the tracks, trees, buildings, etc.
Great memories right there!

I still dream of building a model railway one day. First though I need to realise the dream of owning a house with a loft to put it in.

My Flying Scotsman will grace the track one day...

I always loved the Modal Train/Railway Hobby the detail and the craftsmanship are amazing.
