Snow shed project This is what I build so far, tomorrow I'm going to paint it. Shot of the portal: Shot of the portal with a double stack wagon standing in it, it just fits, I intended too ;) : A shot of the side, how it would look like when a car runs trought it...

I don't know Livesteam, it might be a bit heavier, so it might take a few more cars. To bad I don't have like 40 cars to test it out :) That's great Zman :) You can make a very nice layout in a very small space.

I found a picture of the prototype! :) It's engine #671 like the model The second module base is finished!, I'm adding tracks soon.

Wow Robert, that's terrible news! :eek: I didn't know that the sun could mess it up that much. My trainroom has no direct sunlight comming into it, bit it's terribly hot up there right now, like 37deg. I checked my rails and they seem fine. I recieved my 4th AZL ;) It got in a few weeks ago...

Small update: Both end module frames are finished now. Next step is adding the base for tracks. I also ordered the layout kit from Woodland Scenics, I should have it next week. The Sante Fe C44-9 has been send 2 weeks ago and should also arrive next week, can't wait! :)

Well, an UP is coming up too ;) but not very soon. I order them directly from ztrack.com

Sante Fe, like the one above :)

I have a new engine underway! Sante Fe C44-9 Hopefully it got it next week, I'll take pics when it's here :) These are next ;) BNSF C44-9's

I finished the biggest frame of the 2 end modules today. It's very rigid and will make the perfect base :) Tomorrow I got the day off, so hopefully I can finish the other end module then. (pics soon) I'm looking at this layout kit to start learning how to make scenery. Because I'm a...

Great review Robert! The shell looks awesome :eek: I'm really surprised to see it have that much detail, it's beyond my expectations. I'm also glad it runs so smooth, can't wait to run one myself :)

Robert, could you do me a little favor? Make some shots of that GP-35, I'm really interested in that model. I seen the chassis and it looks very promising, I wonder how it looks with the shell on it. I also wonder what the other secret MTL model will be, could you give me a hint? :) I...

I'm going to sell most of my Marklin switches and wait for Micro Trains to release their switches :) The MT's will look better on my layout since I also use MT flex track. This is a picture of the new layout, it differs a little bit. I'm starting all over again, hopefully this is the last...

One word: InZane :eek: I love it :thumb:

I'm aware, but read "hoping", I didn't say they're planning to release one... :rolleyes: I'm talking about the 3-suitcase layout with turntable and at least 20 switches and you talk about a single suitcase layout, quite a difference... I'll try to chose better words next time ;) An...

You mean the brief cases in the pictures above? I don't have the slightest clue to be honest, you could be able to make something like that with $3000? I might be way off...

Z - can be as small as 5.7" radius, however anything under 7.7" is too tight in my opinion.

You mean a Z-Scale Big Boy? Sorry they're not released yet :D I'm hoping it'll be on the market in 2006, I guess it'll cost around $2000 usd if AZL makes em.

I'm planning to build a layout :) When things get easier at school I'll try to putt some time in it. Here is an overview: I still have to plan a coal area at the bottom right module. The top edge of the modules is 360cm long. At some places it's 40cm deep. I like to keep it as compact as...

I sure seen some beautiful layouts :) I try to keep mine very small though. Most of the money goes into the rolling stock ;) I don't think the scenery is much more expensive then with a regular N-Scale layout.

Cars cost around $20 to $30 usd. The one in the picture is a double stack wagon from http://www.fr-model.de/ I had to build it myself and payed $20 usd for the kit. It is out of production :( Z-Scale engines don't have sound, allthough you might fit a sound decoder into a steam tender.
