Is it recently that you decided to go into 009 ?

Oh wow !!!!  That looks splendid !! It gives it extra dimensions. Congratulations !!!!

That's coming out fantastic !

Hello everyone, I've been busy remodeling my house and that has been a challenge to my modeling. It is good to be back. Just wanted to let yiou know that my little BR80 is running very nice with the sound decoder installed. I also have a BR50 with sound that runs like a dream. I am in the market of getting this funky looking Loco, a Roco brand Austrian Class 3071. It is only 129mm long and I was wondering if this little thing will run well through the Peco insul frog turnouts. If any one have any experience with this little engine I would like to know as much information as possible. Thank you.

Excellent work !!!

I got the sound decoder installed and running. A good thing !!!

I've been working on the layout and on the room itself. Progress is moving forward.

Liddy, I am keeping a close eye on your progress. I am also in the process of building a small HO scale layout. It will be a 10' x 10' x 1' wide "L" shape shelf layout in my office at home. The layout will be a WWII theme. For now I only have a Roco BR80 locomotive with sound and hopefully later on I am planning to get a Roco BR 50 w/sound. But that will be a maybe on the BR 50. I am a shunting kind of guy, so my main locomotive will probably be the BR80. I am in the process of preparing the room by painting it and getting new furnitures and hanging the new shelves for the layout. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will start laying track.  Keep us posted on your layout and good luck.

Beautiful work !

I found the sound decoder at a decoder dealer.  I should receive it in the mail by Monday.  Now I am ready to do my new European Layout.  Once I finish preparing the room for the layout, I will start a new blog on the layout, itself.

I got hold of ESU and they told me to get the LokSound ESU 54413 with a 8 pin plug. Now I am trying to find out who has one in stock so that I can order it. 

That is a sweet looking engine

BGMAN, thank you so much !  I will do that.
