There are only circuit board locations where to solder the locomotive wires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMO Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 After an electronic parenthesis, let's come back to the layout building. The second module makes the L shape of the layout. My son is making the scenery: he installed kraft paper with glue and fine sand to make the ground. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMO Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Yes I hope too! He is good for the weathering and for the scenery. Another view with more scenery. He is installing now some grass in the track. The photos will follow very soon. 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 The weathering on that gate is incredible!! The only thing is that the bracing diagonals on it really should go the other way, to take the weight from the top 'open' corner of the gate down to the gate post. But that's being really picky, sorry!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's being really picky, sorry!! This is a paper kit I've bought on ebay from an English producer (Model Railway Scenery). It's very realistic. I've bought an old factory too. When built, the result is fantastic. You're right about the bracing of the doors : I've made a mistake! It's not too late to correct it The factory: 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMO Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Yesterday afternoon, we have cuted and installed some thick cardboard to continue the scenery. The REA building will have a nice basement now. I have to adjust the building to follow the track and next, add a goods plateform. My son don't make the kits. No problem: we work together: I help him. And I like to model HO trains too. At the other end, we try asphalt from AK interactive. Let it dry now. My son continues the scenery installing foam. I put a screw to keep the things at their place during the glue was drying. Previously, there was a bridge there but he likes more grass and trees than concrete. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMO Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Work in progress here. The daddy has changed the track along the REA building because it wasn't parrallel with the building.
