Popular Post ThomasG Posted February 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Hello everybody! My name´s Thomas and I live in Landau, a small town in the southwest of Germany. In advance, I apologize for my "not so good English" ... I read and like this forum for a long time. Especially the Micro- and Boxfiles layouts did it to me... ...and now I want to show you my Layout: About three years ago I started an Ingleenook Sidings with one track extra and a fiddle yard. With the platform all could be part of a small station... And now see a Video and some pictures: Best regards - Thomas Edited February 2, 2019 by ThomasG 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegheny1600 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hello Thomas, Welcome to RMweb, that is a very nice layout and your command of the English language is very good. Much better than my command of your language. Cheers, John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasG Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Very nice Thomas and getting better still. Its nice to see a European small layout. Don, Hi Don! Thanks for your kind words! Regards, Thomas Very nice, I like your backscene too, is it hand painted? Jerry. Hi Jerry! Also a thank you to you! Yes, the backscene is hand painted, partly... The buildings and fences are printouts. The buildings in the second row are from MZZ backgrounds. These in the first row are pictures from models (some plastic kits, some paper kits) - all found on the internet and edited on the computer. One tree (the one above the brigde) is painted by one of my sons. Regards, Thomas @ All: Hi everbody! Today I want to show my self-constructed uncoupling system... On this layout I used Märklin-C-track, but the originally uncouplers don´t look very good. So I researched in magazines and the internet, and decided to build my own uncouplers. They should be camouflaged as a small railway crossing. Here are some pictures: The small pictures on the right show how it works, and the small picture on the left show what the top looks like... --------- And that's how the tracks should look like in the end: (On the right the original Märklin-C-track) On the layout all modifications have already been made, only the ballasting and the subsequent coloring are still missing...

cklammer Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 And that is how you make Märklin C-Track look good! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasG Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Hi everybody! And that is how you make Märklin C-Track look good! Thank you very much! ------------------------------- I supplemented my loading road with a weighbridge (with small house).The Lasecut kit is from Modelscene, a Czech supplier. Because I didn´t like the original roof, I made another myself. Best regards, Thomas 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasG Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hello everybody! Looks good. That weathering on the weigh bridge is brilliant! Thanks for your kind words! Now I have ballasted - everywhere - ... what a detention! Then followed three paint Jobs: 1. heavily diluted black color 2. slightly diluted rust tone 3. granulate with white And here are the pictures: Best regards, Thomas 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasG Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi Thomas you have achieved some very nice detailing and ground cover look really good. Hi Kevin! Thanks for your kind words! Best regards, Thomas ------------------ Hello Thomas, I really like your layout it looks a lot more than the sum of it's parts, very spacious and uncluttered. I know how difficult that is to achieve in a small space, you've resisted the temptation to fill it with lots of odds and ends. Instead you've gone for things like the collapsing shed by the bridge and the exposed brickwork of the weighbridge hut. I also like the slow start of the loco in the first video, no broken bones in the cab of that. I assume it's HO gauge is that correct and may I also ask the length and width of the visible area. Very well done indeed. Cheers Hello! Thank you very much for your very nice comment. I am always happy when the work I have created pleases others... Well, my locomotives have certain good driving behavior also because of digital technology. I appreciate slow starting and braking ... Oh, and regarding your questions, this picture certainly helps: It should be mentioned, however, that only the inside of the bridge (passage to Fiddleyard) is designed. I orient myself, of course, on the metric system - I've converted that for here... Best regards, Thomas 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasG Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Hello everybody! In the last days and weeks I got along quite well with the design, but see for yourself: [vimeo] [/vimeo] Best regards, Thomas Edited July 30, 2018 by ThomasG 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hi Thomas - that's a lovely little layout you've developed there. Excellebt attention to detail and great modelling. A tried and tested trackplan as well which will give excellent operational potential. I think the extra length to the inglenook design (compared to sticking at the minimum 120cm) makes the scene much more spacious. Great stuff and thanks for sharing.
