artizen Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 On the other forum you have a track plan. How big is the layout and how long did it take to build to this standard? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Hudson Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I would echo the comments on the models and photography: really first class. Having spent several years working in Sweden (not in this time scale but circ 10 years ago!) I would also testify to it having the correct feel, particularly the architecture. Is it supposed to be a certain area of the country? I don't know any of the place names but I am no expert! Andrew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1956 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 The layout is 8x5,5m and I have built it in two periods, the first about twelve years ago and the last during the last two, three years. My ambition has been to try to make an illussion of some typical swedish villages and landscape during the 1950´s. Most of the buildings are built of a friend of mine.

noakesy123 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Fantastic, thank you! I've done a bit of cosmetic work on a real one - and we couldnt decide on livery, but plain black was my choice - you may of just confirmed this! thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1956 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 To me it seems to be more than a small personal interest, please tell me more about this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noakesy123 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I volunteer at the Nene Valley Railway near Peterborough, and we have a Swedish B currently out of service, and we are using it as part of a display with our Wagon-lits vehicles, and were just repainting it and replacing the cab roof to preserve the cab. The loco isnt really my area of interest, but I appreciate them, fantastic machines. Anyway... back to your superb layout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

artizen Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 There must be something in the air in Sweden. I know you know Troels but what is it about the place that generates such outstanding modelling? Could it be the long winter nights? Keep posting the photos!!! BTW have you tried using EZ Line for the yacht rigging? Just a thought, it is darker and finer so it appears more realistic in photos.

1956 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Ian, very flattering but please don´t compare me with Troels he´s building all of it himself, I have some friends helping me a lot e.g. the ships and boats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
