When i´m looking for more prototype railway in the 60´s , i gonna some find little ones in the family-album on some photo´s. Small things can maybe help to complete the setting you want. The locomotive is a Bachmann Branchline former WD-locomotive , wich also fame has as the ´Longmoor´ in dutch country . NS bought some of this locomotives second hand to give an extra boost of it´s locomotive roster.These series are also known as the 4300 series en 5000 series .

I´m added some little details to make it more alive. When i´m working as a gardner daily´s it give me more ideas to more realistic , as i was on an unknown place in the surroundings.

My inspiration is based from a photo , i saw many years ago in a familyalbum when i saw my mother with her father in the 60´s in front of her home. I have good memories from my mother , now she s in heaven, her illness was short and haevy, she was 58 years old when she was definitve left . It´s for me a good memory to keep things alive , also you can it give a sort of form of it.

When i was stuck in the layout i wanted to build , it´s for me the time to try a complete different as bebore. I show you already 2 pics what i try to view, namely the 60´s in my own surroundings. i also try to imagine how it was in the 60´s of the Netherlands. It´s just a begin. Greets Alexander

Today has arrived my new loocomtive , with special thanks to Pieter.

A long time ago i have been absent ,when i not build on my layout i´m looking for new challenges . Train compostions to find on the web is such an example. I collect mainly wagons so i can realise trains what i wanted.The locomotives i choose for the compositions i want. I have 4 diesellocomotives en 7 steamers , wich 1 has been ordered , the Lord Phil from Hornby ,also a remembrance of my youth years when i visit a railway in the Netherlands Tilburg - Turnhout , it stops en returns in Baarle Nassau.This simple steammuseum had a 0-6-0 locomotive as Lord Phil. The photo i show you are my latest acquisitions without the Jinty.

I have little or small update ; I apply some trees tooin combination with some bushes.It gives more natural look if it is not.

Thanks !! That´s why i just excite when i visit this forum ,now i´m gonna work further to my micro and about 17 days later i go on vacation with my girlfiend to Tjechien republic .In the meantime i show you an upgrade when i´m ready.

Sometimes you will see East-european trains , wich it becomes also a favorite of mine.Sometime also Dutch trains. When i make my layout general , i can choose what setting i can take.

I give the layout minimal details , wich i give it more feeling to it.There is more things to do. The platform is extended, so i can run a longer passengertrain. that extists in two coaches with a small steamengine as the Jinty.

It´s good to see that you start to build minimal , it gives ideas to others what they want to build them .The wall is a good solution that you can hide your small layout. Another good plan that works is, when your layout on height , to try it on eye-view.It seems like that the layout has depth. Looking forward for more ... Greets Alexander

I started to build this one as a museum-line.It made me practical when i make the choices that i want. That´s why i buy sometimes a locomotive or wagon that i choose not exactly to build a prototype railway. My setting is a sort of from point to point railway.

I started to build this new microlayout in some basicsettings so i can change the buildings when i ride with German or Dutch trains or British trains Recently i bought a Jinty , special thanks to PMuller , wich he is also a member of this forum.

A new time has come ,when i read the contributions here in this forum , i had decide much earlier to build a new microlayout. A problem for me is , how to start so that it does not become too much in one go. Maybe you have ideas for me. for a good start . Where can i find good ideas for British single track prototypes ?

Today , i bought a locomtive in a local trainstore when i first thought i buy some wagons , when i saw this one , i was upside down. The choice was quikly made and i decide leave the wagons for what it was . This locomotive costs me little,when i agree the price of it . You see the locomotive on a dutch diorama.

Thanks , it´s been a few months ago when i´m building and detailing my layout.Now i´m thinking to build a new one . A few days ago i have bought my christmas presents , when my girlfriend is with me in the trainshop. My presents are 6 7-plank wagons of Oxfordrail. Soon you can watch it on my new and smal layout here .I like to share my ideas here in this forum. Greets Alexander

Hi there, Some changes i have made to build an ultimate micro layout , i was not satisfied with my other layout ,so i decided to build another. I show you some pictures as¨promised to let see what you can expect from me. greetings Alexander

I look forward to your new layout and what your building at.

I decide to build an extansion,meanwhile i bought a locomotive ,a Bachmann and 2 cars, on tuesday i expect a class 08 in the green British Rail Livery.

Some months earlier i have build a microboxlayout to show my locomotives in a setting i loved . Orginally it is a Dutch landscape but i can use it for my 00 models to,thats why i have it choose to build general scenery. My job is courtowner , that´s why i mostly build in scenery.Maybe i build an extansion for this microboxlayout . What do you think ? Should i try or not ?

A busy week this week , some trains in HO and N scale for sale in my collection.Place for new trains in 00 scale , i have ordered a new locomotive by a forum here , the sentinel diesel from Hornby .Sometimes i vist youtube for inspiration to make my choice in what i want to buy. I like the real point to point railwaylines that servives as a museumrailway.

Hi there, There is a change in my start to buiding a micro layout , a change that gives more satisfy than before . Later this weekend i buy a new locomotive , a class 1F from Bachmann for my layout . I show you now a photo of the beginning, later more updates.

Did you build the platform build to it sizes of the car ? Or is it along the size of your layout. I like the way you build and give me the inspiration for me in the future. Greets Alex

Thanks , it´s for me difficult to start to buiding a layout in a different scale. I try some first steps in 00 scele form , frequently i visit this forum to how it´s made.

When i began with the scale , i started simple , because i had little experience wirh 00 scale , wich it was for me completly new. I´ve had many experience in HO and N scale microlayouts f. I start slowly so i can think of what i will and what not. Some layoutinfo: 120cm x 30cm with sectorplate included. Era type 3 to 5 Locomotives : Class 08,Class 24 ,Class 4F. 1 = Warehouse 2 = Goods 3 = Halt 4 = A trash yard More info comes soon.
