Today I get the confirmation that I could attend next years Irivine show of the Kilmarnock & District Model Railway Club. It would be great to go to Irvine for the show. Markus

In July I will held an module meeting with some friends. There will be a british arrangement with modern diesel traction and a heritage train. And there will be a continental modular arrangement with a harbour railway related theme. Here I show you the british modul arrangement. On the top will be Penzance station, then there will bei the stations Borve (Junction station) and Uig (terminus). There will be the halts Earlish (after the fiddle yard) and Romesdale (between Borve and Uig) and we will have a MPD between Borve and Penzance. The continental arrangement will follow. Markus

Your picture looks great, please show us more. What season did you model? Markus

Hello Russ, I can't wait to see you progress on your planned layout. Markus

Maybe you could use some strips of phosphorus bronze to made some pickups. Markus

George, the girders looks good. Markus

Tom, your woodwork progress looks good. Markus

Hello George, I hope you will made some good progress. Markus

Good to see, that you could begin with your baseboard. Markus

Hello Stephen, I too use the Rusty Rail paints, I tried the applicator but I'm not convinced of it. So I applied the paint with a brush. Markus

Simon, thank you for your answer. Markus

Hello Simon, good looking progress. By the way, I don't know if it was mentioned earlier. What did you use for your brick- and stonework? Markus

Hello, I wish everyone of you a happy new year. And here is a german classic for the end of the year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUbEVg5KNt8&feature=related Markus

I wish everyone of you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. I hope your wishes come true. Markus

It's looks amazing. I can't wait to see it finished. Markus

These pictures looks very good, and I can't wait to see the progress. Markus

Why not building an G gauge indoor shuntinglayout in the place of the N gauge layout. Here you could use your build locos and stock, when the weather in the outside is horrible. If you build the layout modular, you could, if you want take it to exhibitions. Maybe build something that did something with your wagons, e.g. a working tippler, or a working wagon turntable. with working capstans. Markus

George, the IoS could be seen in two weeks in Potsdam from 8th until 10th October. Here is the link. http://www.whkb.de/ And the next termin is from 13th to 14th November in Frankfurt Griesheim http://www.mcg83.de Markus

George, in which scale did you built your layout? Markus

Hello George, your pictures are great. Please show us more. Markus

Great photos, more please. Markus

Hello Stephen, the Atlas Code 55 Track is intented for the use with american rolling stock, which got RP25 wheels. I made the same mistake on my first british layout, where I wanted to use Atlas code 55 track. My entire locos stalled at the turnouts. (Dapol 14xx, GraFar 3F and 4F. The Peco and Farish Wagons run well on the Flextrack, but have some problems on the turnouts, The Dapol wagons hit the ties, when running. When you are using british/continental rolling stock, it is better to use Peco Code 55 tracks. Markus

Hello, a new issue of my IoS Railway Gazette is online from today. http://www.ios-railway.de/iosgazette.html Markus

Hello Richard, thank you for your reply. Usually the layout is smaller, but for my operating session in three weeks I built up Borve. When I'm operating the layout alone, or when I havn't enough operators at the session, the Borve is dismanteld, and the the layout only gets to the module with the roadoverbridge, and after that module, would be the fiddle yard.
