It´s a long time ago i posted here ,to share my adventures of scale 0 .

Recently i bougt in 00 gauge the Ruston loco from Hornby , wich it´s a good runner for me ,

My question is m what 2nd locomotive i can share with the Ruston ? A Sentinel or what else ?.

Is there a  locomotive at the same area as the Ruston  i have , i have de green one (DVLR) with zebra stripes . a museum locomotive.

Thanks for the info and help with , i just have bought the D3316, with some extra goods wagons,for the future i´m gonna build an extansion with more activitys for both 08´s.

It have the D prefix to the number , i believe that reference to D= Diesel , maybe i have wrong, i think de blue/yellow D-number version of Dapol an ´overlap´ version is .

When i bought a class 08 from Dapol in 0 scale , i was thinking to buy for another example of this locomotive.

I have the 3305 from BR in green livery with zebra stripes , what do you suggest wich locomotive i can used with the other,

as a sort of brother or sister friendship ?

What livery is the most go together with the one i had ? The black 13003 or the blue yellow one ?.

Thanks !!

An alternative version wich a much better for me to do.

I know the site of Dapol ,but my question is , is there any photo or any information for the real Y1 or Y3 from NCB ?.

Dank Amanda voor je reactie , i have still a question voor other  people over here.

Does excist the Y1/3 from Dapol in NCB 14 livery ? I believe it was an Y3 .

Any tips or suggestions are welcome , or an alternative in an other livery or model .

When you stuck on it , you can choose many ways to make the hobby positive and have more tasty.

The last months i have a sort of  relapse , because in my own family was some sad things and when you don´t have any parrents more , 

you have little need for the hobby.

Slowly you backtrack to your normal habit and needs in order to be able to continue.

I love the British Rail as well , specially the class 08 , it´s very simular to the ones  it was riding in the Netherlands here.

A couple of the days ago i bought a Dapol class 08 and a pair of 7 plank wagons and some track.

I´m planning to build a microlayout on my own for 0-scale.

I love the scenery and the details . Less is more indeed that´s for sure.

The solution is simple for this result , try and try again , when you experience with trees , you can make it your own way when you are satisfied , then is it good enough , if not , start again and think what you want.

My job in real life is gardner , so for me is it simple and smart plan what i do everyday to copy in model .Railways in a natural era are good friends with  each other .

I have many ideas to build in the future and some micros  to complete the scene ,you won't see me building a busy micro so quickly.

Most of the micros I build are in fact the environment I live in or enjoy being in, nature.

I  started with a good sentence, to add some trees and brushes, along the platform i add some grass and is a begin what else to come .

Later i add some details so that it is not exaggerated.

Mostly of time i search and investigate what important is  to show it on the micro.

The first building stands well, i start today with adding some green brushes and trees behind the building for a remote/distant place , i discovered that most of halts and local station far from the centre of a village or small town.

A little update

A layout how small it is can never without a building , mostly as you build a a typical theme for what you want .

I decide to have a station building in a regurly way , that stands on my micro .It comes with a small platforn and soon it will build.

Soon i will post again my creatures here and i go building furthert to MWC

unexpected event

Past week has passed away my dad, wich i had not so good relationship like other sons and daughters .

When the divorce of my parents came 30 years  ago, my father goes is in a sort of spiral with many ups and downs.

Problems that you and i also can have , when your not listen to your health.He passed away with the age of 74.

My mom leaves her life with 56 ,buth i have many good memories of her and she liked the way of building my micro´s.

When i have a break , i build also a micro in HO scale , Holland in 1965 , i add some details to it ,so i can make more inspiration for MWC.

Make over

When you´re not satisfied , you gonna thinking ,what shall i or what if ?

In this case you can try to make over  a better and smarter one as before you did .

It helps sometimes when you do things in another way and you learned about it what went wrong before.

A perfect micro is the taste of yours with  it´s own twist .

The plan is the most same av before except it is smaller and better to build it .

The size is now 46c, length and 20cm wide.The height is 30 cm , on both sides comes cassettes wich i can make a choice in what sort of train comes.

My guitars , Squier Jazzmaster , with a great sound , is from2012,  the sunburst and butter scotsh Squier classic vibe are from 2010 and my Fender Stratocaster Fiesta red USA is from 1957 , because i´m the second owner and as amp hav i a Vox AC15.

A classical setup, i play mainly music of The Shadows  and simular groups of that era.

Back to trains .The goodswagons i have , was bought in group of 18 pieces  on a place  on the internet , the owner sell it was from Peco .

There are really 16 wagons of  Peco , but one unknown and one from Iberrtren wich is not an english wagon.

The wagons are mainly for the museum/trains.

I have replaced the shrubs with lower ones so you get a better view of the whole.

You see a better result and it comes across more naturally.

I have some questions to yours .

What does the initials  E N and GW, means on goodswagons  ?

Could you use a brake with E N on it with a locomtive  from British Railways or must it be the same ?

Now i have 2 pannier steam locos , one the preserverd ncb 7754 wich i  think it´s a particular locomotive for industy and British railways  8767, can i used bith in the same era or will be as a museumlocomotive deployed ?

Some shots of the beginning vegetation.

A lazy saturdaytoday  but also active in greenpolls and some flowervegetation , later on the day i gonna start with bushes and trees .

I build a little bridge ,a simple one with matches , for me it is perfect.

Thanks , it is very difficult for me to make things in a way of British style where you never been . i look also on the forum where can find more things to make my micro as the layouts show here.

Today i start with some bushes and green around the side of the halt ,and the area  comes alive .

The ballast spend it´s  night over and it´s dry.
