Earwicker Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Following on from Rhys' excellent scratchbuilt NZ120 rolling stock ( http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/8041-antipodes-workbench/ ) here are some picture of Fremo modules in said scale. These aren't finished yet, and are freelance models based on the north of the South Island. You can also see some (also unfinished) Trackgang NZR models in these pictures, including a Dx locomotive and some four wheel wagons. NZ120 as a scale is having a bit of a renaissance at the moment because of the efforts of various local modelers. Grant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earwicker Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi Grant, i wondered where you had got to - that looks stunning. See you at the convention? Kev Hi Kev, I had a bit of a break from modelling but it sucked me back in after I went to the Christchurch train show last year and saw the NZ modular layouts. I'll definitely be at the convention. I've been posting about the building of these modules over at NZ120.org I plan to build enough modules to form a loop, and then run some trains!

Earwicker Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 More from NZ. I'm now adding various detailing to the modules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 21, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21, 2010 More from NZ. I'm now adding various detailing to the modules. Everything I hear about NZ tells me it is a beautiful country, and your modules are going some way towards representing that, in a scale/gauge that is unfamiliar to most in the Northern Hemisphere. This is all looking very atractive - and the trains aren't bad, either! Keep us posted, please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
