298 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Nick and I have an arrangement where we test each other's layouts, so I was there on Saturday generally making silly mistakes and failing to answer any questions on or even improve my knowledge of Scandinavian Railways. But here are a few low-res camera phone snaps...: Edited August 22, 2015 by 298 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi Nick, I am really enjoying seeing how this is developing, as I've said before I have a big interest in the prototype and think you have done a smashing job on the layout. I hope the exhibition went well and keep the photos coming!! David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) It's been a while since I last posted, I've been doing a few rolling stock upgrades, first up a Lima Hbis van that I've detailed and repainted. The hand brake wheel, air brake gear and ferry tie downs were missing on the original model so I added them with parts by Wizard Models and Colin Craig, paint is Vaelljo acrylics and decals by Skilteskoven. I've also added sound to my Mx, it didn't make an appearance at Midland RailEx as the original chip had failed, it now has an ESU Loksound The next outing is to Weston on Trent organised by Andyram, may see you there.

doctor quinn Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Weston on Trent show went well and many thanks to Andyram for organising it, Industrivej was also at the recent European Railways Association show at Bourneville, many thank to Piers Milne and the team for organising that event. I'd also like to thank Andy (298) and Dave (davep101) for playing with my train set so I didn't have to all day. A lot of people commented on the presentation and I have to thank Alison, my wife for the excellent tailored curtain, which does mean that all my future layouts need to be the same size. And a final random shot of Mz 1414 shunting Stena The next outing for Industrivej is the Nottingham show in March - full details in my signature Nick 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Nick, As I have said on so many occasions (apologies if it seems like I am being a 'stuck record'!), I love what you've done with the layout and I am really pleased that it is getting outings to exhibitions. Hopefully it will raise the profile and potential of Danish modelling and Denmark in general! I expect it gets a lot of interest with it being such a different prototype? It is nice to see the overall shot of the layout on display, you've done an excellent job of the presentation, it makes such a difference when time and effort is taken in that regard - so thumbs up for the input from your wife!! My ambition for 2016 is to consolidate and move forward with a tiny Danish project as somewhere to run an Mh and shunt a couple of wagons around... Your layout has given me the inspiration to give it a go! David PS love the last shot of the Mz Edited December 14, 2015 by south_tyne 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Glad you like it, I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of interest in a fairly esoteric subject. If anyone is looking for prototype inspiration I noticed that Franks Stenvalls in Malmo http://www.stenvalls.com/shop/ have the three books in the series Med Gods På Krogen.

Alcanman Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I've just caught up with your thread which has helped revive my interest in European model railways. It's nice to see something a bit different and well presented. I'm a big fan of small shunting layouts, particularly in industrial settings. I like your use of the US Pikestuff kits to create the warehouse. The German kit manufacturers don't seem to offer much in the way of modern warehouse type structures. Your layout has given me some inspiration to have a go at building a small Continental layout in 2016. Mal 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi Nick, Really good to see you and the layout at the ERA show, wish I'd had more time to spend observing but I'm always shy! Meaning that if I spend too long looking at Danish stuff, I'll want to collect it again! [/url] Cheers, John E. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 An interesting find at Newark swapmeet today, a kit built ex-DSB class P (I think) open wagon. ØSJS is the Østsjællandske Jernbane Selskab (East Zealand Railway Co.) which more recently went by the name Østbanen. By chance I had come across this documentary from 1948 about DSB, mostly filmed around Fredericia It's fascinating even without understanding the commentary, although I don't think I'll be doing "Industrivej 1948" anytime soon.

RMweb Premium Patrick SPF Posted January 2, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 2, 2016 Nick, Its a K's kit. For some reason they used to include it in the kit for the Swedish Z class shunter? Cheers Patrick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonbelle Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I meant to say what a delight it was seeing the layout at last months ERA show at Bournville - well done - a lovely standard of modelling - quite an inspiration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhock Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Just wanted to say I really like the look of this layout. I particularly like the effort to ensure all the road vehicles are appropriate to the period And just the general feel of the layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Thanks, apart from the Volvo N10 skip lorry, the vehicles are from the usual sources - the trick was to avoid flashy "big rigs" and cars that stand out Edited January 29, 2016 by doctor quinn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhock Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks, apart from the Volvo N10 skip lorry, the vehicles are from the usual sources - the trick was to avoid flashy "big rigs" and cars that stand out Indeed, everyday normal vehicles can sometimes be a little difficult to achieve and car parks on layouts can sometimes look like show rooms! I don't want to detract from your layout thread, the layout creates a very real industrial atmosphere, I hope I get to see at an exhibition one day.

Robatron86 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I hadn't seen this before (Danish railways are a bit off my radar, danish pastries on the other hand...), but I have just read the article in CM. Lovely. Well done Doc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks Rob, Industrivej's next outing is Nottingham on 12th and 13th March so a big thank you to Andrew Burnham for putting the article in this month's CM. Nick 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 This week the DPD courier brought this Etched point levers by Epoke Modeller, I'd been searching for the correct pattern for a while so when i found these I ordered two packs - enough for a future Danish layout too! I've also been adding loads to the wagons that were lacking them, like this Kbps stake wagon now carrying baled steel scrap And shredded steel loads in these Eaos wagons Nick 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middlepeak Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Nick, Can't quite see from the photo which point levers you've got, but I used Epoke Modell levers and lanterns on Obbekaer and they are well worth the finger-singeing fun of putting them together! Since I made the lanterns operational, they seem to be noticed a lot more by the public on the other side of the barrier, and they're actually helpful in confirming to the operators that the points have switched properly. I like the scrap load on the stake wagon - presumably home made? Regards, Geraint 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi Geraint, I like you point lever with the working lantern, the point levers I have are this type - first one put together with a drill bit acting as a temporary pivot for the lever. From the instructions I think this is an old style ("Gammel") and I suspect the kind you have used on Obbekaer may have been more appropriate Thanks for the comment about the baled scrap load - it's just strips of aluminium foil pushed into a mould made from scrap wood, I can't claim credit as I saw it in an Eisenbahn Kurier special on wagon loads. I then spayed them randomly with Humbrol Red-Brown and Gunmetal Here's a shot of a spare one Nick 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Last weekend's little project was to finish the point levers Not bad but it does now show up the "chunkieness" of Peco Code 75. Handbuilt track next time? Nick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

locoholic Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Congratulations on creating an excellent layout. It is quite nostalgic for me, because I lived in Vamdrup for a year, and used to go and watch the shunting along the small freight branches to the Rockwool factory and the car terminal, as well as watching the mainline trains going to Flensburg. Your layout captures the atmosphere exactly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Thanks for the compliments - I think the Rockwool factory shows up in the books that I mentioned earlier in the thread. Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
locoholic Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I found a couple of photos - I think I was there a few years before the time when you are modelling. The shunter's livery looks quite old-fashioned. This was on the branch to the car terminal - I never saw the shunter on the Rockwool line - it must have been whilst I was working. I think this was just north of Vamdrup. This was at Lunderskov, at the junction of the lines from Flensburg and Esjberg. Seemed like a really long train for such a small loco. I wish I'd taken more photos now, but I was pretty skint at the time. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
