Ralph from Houtbay's layout
« on: December 13, 2016, 01:19:57 PM »
Ralph lives in the Republic of Houtbay. He built this layout all on his own without knowing anyone else even. I was quite impressed with his composition and the overall layout of the town and yards. Also the ski lift and the wind farm operates...

The layout is in a purpose built little room of the back off his garage. Vey nice sized.

The track is all Fleischmann Piccolo and the DCC system is Digitrax Zephyr. Rolling stock is a mix of American and German. Operated quite well too.

Njoy the pics :thumb:

And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Some other things taking up his time. The bike model is a clip and screw together affair. Amazing!
