Good Morning all,

I finished the second tunnel Portal as well and I added the final piece of roadbed for the siding off the station.
Had to modify the mountain a bit to accomodate for that, but it is OK.

Next will mostprobably be a bit more creatstone at the front to finish that off and fit the bridge.
Then I need to finish the painting inside the mountain so that I can lay the track, can't wait  :biggrin:

Cheers,
Evert Loo

Good Morning All,

I worked some more over the weekend, and took on some of the rock faces. Had to work very carefully and to paint and finish took ten times longer than the n Scale, but it is nice and I love it.

Picture 01 and 02 - the station I have I had to fit as close a possible to the rock face as the space is a bit limited, but I think is can work well.
Picture 03 - all the rocks is in and the place for the station to fit is in place.

I also added a cardboard base with 3x holes for the LEDS. I glued see through straws in that for the LEDS.

Hi Evert, do you have some detail photo's of this?
I'm trying to picture this, but can't quite figure it out.

I also added the Rocks for the back of the layout. This is at the back of the bridge.
Also a few leading up to the bridge.
Then I painted quite a big section of the layout earth colour. I'm still thinking if I should bry-brush the earth with a darker brown. I'm still going to cover it with grass, bush and trees. Also not sure if I will balast the track  ???

Any case, here are some pictures for my work  :biggrin:

Cheers,
Evert Loo :thumb:

The layout or rather baseboard is still as is.
I do not want to lay track as it is not payed yet  :( Other priorities in life at the moment.

Was thinking of selling all the Z and just rather focus on my N.

Cheers.

Good Afternoon All.....

So, after I have fixed some z scale Loco's I got some new inspiration and I spend a bit of time the past weekend on my z scale layout.

I bought (Ed bought) a z bridge for my from BidOrBuy and I wanted to add it so how ???
After a bit of thinking and loads of layout changes and hacking I made it work  :biggrin:
Waterfall from the mountain into a river and then lake under the bridge. Think it will look nice and interesting.

Cheers and enjoy the pictures.

Good Morning All,

The weekend was quiet and I had Monday and Tuesday off from work.
So, I decided it is a good time to work on my Z Scale  :biggrin:

I added a concrete wall on the edge of the curved bridge.
I added some more rocks.
I then painted the dam and river.
I also painted the rocks and also did the grass around them.
Last night I decided to lay the track, hooked it up to power and run a train....... So Cool.

Now I need to drill the holes for the power and the points and then I will glue the track into position.

Enjoy the pictures and speak again soon.  :thumb:
Cheers,
Evert
