My ATSF RSD-15 on my father's layout for a test

Britannic trains are nice too! My 10 years old son is a British trains enthusiast. I learn a lot by these weeks. I like Britannic trains too now! Your 3 way turnout is very nice. Where can we follow your new BR project?

I've watched a video from Scott Taipale who chase a PREX GP-16 on the "Napoleon Defiance & Western Railway". Some scenes are very inspiring for my layout. Here is one hardcopy from the video to show you what I would like to do: to add bushes and high grass on the first plan to add realism. I've done the same on my narrow gauge french sugarbeet layout. It's nice to see. Scott Taipale's video for the enthusiasts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axdR1xA6-b8&feature=youtu.be

Hello there! Now, I begin the second part of the track laying: the curve of the short line. The rail is code 100 from Peco for this part of the project. ...

Many thanks Nick. I try to do my best.

My table isn't clean... but the track is laid. And I continue with the lead track of te right end. This track is supposed to continue more far to another station. At home, there is the basement wall. Here is a view of the basswood wooden strips before cutting them. ...

Yes at the first fast view, they seem similar but they have some easy to find differences. Nice locomotives.

What a good idea!

More work... the other side of the loop track ...

I prepared the benchwork for the main, the spur and the loop track ...and I started to glue the ties. The main These ties are ready to install by the railroad team At right, the loop track level is lower. On the left, the loop track with the code 100 rails, not yet installed. I use Peco pins for code 100 rails. I reduce the length with a big and strong cutter which resists to steel I use old pieces of OO Peco track to use the code 100 rail. Recycling...

Daniel, to make your own track and turnouts is modelling too.

Hi, I've insulated the two rails The result when all the spikes are installed. Views in place. The height of the road isn't ready. It will be installed lower than now. The photo gives an idea of the pics I'll can shoot. The Peco track is there to give an idea of the future track plan. The hoppers are still ready to use! ...

Waow! Nice result!

That's right! I share this idea: a layout is always a show even if the trains don't run.

Waow nice extension! It's a good idea to build one board at a time.

What a nice atmosphere on your layout Daniel!

I've made the first part of track which drives to the staging yard. ...

For me the best is to solder the wires.

Can you tell me the brand of these two locomotives please? Thanks

Very nice layout! I like this industrial look.

Nice atmosphere!

My O scale GE. An undecorated model I've bought from Richard Yoder company. After being a french model with buffers and screw link couplers, I changed my mind and it returned into an american model with new (styrene) pilots, a V strip, a number on the cab and weathering

I tried another method to reduce the spikes' heads. It wasn't faster and better. After the loooong work of spiking... ...

Yes, on the French version, it's possible to download it (they say) if you buy TS2017. Soon, I'll try TS 2017 and maybe the SW 1500..... and Alcos I'll tell you.

Yes, there is a lot of videos about the nice Delewarre-Lackawanna in Scranton including switching the lumber spurs! Great!
