  1. Great looking layout. You may be interested in this page... goo.gl/R8RqTS Quite a lot of Thai locomotives on there.
  2. Travelling down from Bangkok to Singapore in style... https://www.belmond.com/eastern-and-oriental-express/journeys/4_198284 Only $3000 a ticket - one train I won't be catching soon! Now this would make a nice model...
  3. Here is a track plan. All self contained shunting in the box, but it would be nice to run it out into a fiddle yard... The blank space is where I did a bit of re-modelling and replaced a section of the sidings with a warehouse as the later pics show. All the points are set track because of the limited space. I have found the class 04 to be a great runner, despite its small size, and it seems to have no problem going over them.
  4. Thanks. It is just shot with a small compact in macro - I don't think it does manual focusing though. Being a micro layout, it is easy to move around and take it outside for the light. I would love to make another one, but will see - not much space to store them!
  5. New miniature exhibit opened here last year.... http://www.nationmultimedia.com/news/life/leisure/30302763 Includes a model of Hua Lumphong station in HO...
  6. Hua Hin is the Royal resort and the King used to travel down there by train. It is a great station with a library next to it housed in two old carriages... http://www.frangipani.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/huahin-traincarreadingroom.jpg For reference, this site seems to have a fair amount of imagery on it, including sprinters... http://portal.rotfaithai.com/ http://gallery.rotfaithai.com/details.php?image_id=9766&mode=search It also looks like Rotfaithai members are producing models for train simulators , so they might have drawings... http://portal.rotfaithai.com/modules.php?name=Downloads When visiting my local model train shop (Zug Haus Fortune Town), I have seen models of Thai trains on display, but at HO size on HO track, so out of gauge. The best one I saw was a model of the King's train - I think it was going for something crazy like 100,000 Baht. The shop is always busy and I think model railways are quite popular out here. I've used Zug Haus a fair bit for buying scenery for my layouts. The owner is a really friendly guy. Here are the domains of the Thai model shops I know of... http://www.modelrailroadsiam.com http://zughaus.yolasite.com/ http://www.trainsforthais.com/index.asp https://goo.gl/4UsKP9 (Sense of Scale at JJ Mall) Thai made models of Thai trains... https://goo.gl/C6YxLi https://goo.gl/HB5387
  7. Watching this with interest as I am have been living in Thailand for 10 years. I would think the station at Hua Hin would make a great model: http://suvarnabhumiairport.com/uploads/profiles/0000000001/filemanager/images/Hua_Hin_trainstation_sala_2.jpg
  8. Here are few pictures of my latest layout. Not a box file layout, but it has been made in two gift boxes attached together. Overall it measures around 60cm long by 18cm deep, with the box height only 9 cm. The track layout is based on a Inglenook shunting puzzle, with wire in tube point control. For the baseboard, I used an old artists canvas frame as was already the right length. This was then cut down to fit the width, and a layer of mdf attached on top.
