Alcanman Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The completed new scenic section looks great, Chris. What did you use for the small bushes along the front of the scenic board? Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Gilbert Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Will you have it ready for TVNAM? North Haston is booked to appear at TVNAM I've just got a mental block at the moment I'm not sure what to do next I want a one day show layout that's easy to put up and take down With the old Haston I could be driving out of the car park 8 minutes after the show closed This one takes about 30 minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'd suggest Urban, North East - New York Port area. I'd say Brooklyn where there is plenty of opportunity without doing another "Brooklyn 3:00am"... Contemporary too. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter I'm not really into Urban It has to be done really well like "Brooklyn 3:00am" to pull in off. I'm thinking more of an ex Santa Fe BNSF layout with GP30 patched locos somewhere in Kansas using small tank cars and hoppers I just need to find a track plan I'm happy with.

Robatron86 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I was suggesting your new one would be ready by TVNAM Chris. But I cannot wait to see North Haston in the flesh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof Klyzlr Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Dear Chris, Back to Carl's site again... Oh brother, here we go again... ;-)(I wonder how many layout projects have kicked off with a quote similar to Chris's...) Happy Modelling,Aim to Improve,Prof Klyzlr PS I'd suggest looking at "Rachel, Georgia" or "Erick, Oklahoma"...(Hmmm, Erick OK with the recently announced Ath GP9u Topeka cab as the featured motive power???)

long island jack Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Look forward to what ever you build ,but don't forget to add your usual deliberate mistakes e.g- magnets in the track ,wrong type of tree etc ,we've got to have something bad to talk about!!!! how about Mexico!!!!

CourthsVeil Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) That sounds very cool, Chris. Which town is it being held in? Best, Pete. Pete, it is in Nieder-Roden near Frankfurt am Main - see this Bing-map as well as this link provided by Shortliner last fall. Quite interesting exhibition this! Modellers from Sweden through Scotland, Luxembourg until Switzerland; local newspaper reports it as the largest US-exhibition in Europe… Regards Armin edit = link & remarks added Edited April 29, 2014 by CourthsVeil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
