I would like to share with you some of the portuguese modelling.

These are pics from a layout built by three guys. They developed their own rules. It's a modular layout.

It's really great.

Thanks Luis, nice to see some Portuguese type box cars and locomotives. :D:
Are they standard for Europe?

These are German models from the 1950's. These guy swho asre building this layout, invented a a story and everything.

This is a layout about a secondary line, wich is between two german cities. (this line doesn't exist in reality). They came with an accident on the main line, so the express trains and every train, must pass through this line.

They have a lot of imagination.

Thanks, kind of nice to see some European action. Always did love those red undercarrages and buffers on the locomotives. A refreshing departure from American equipment, please keep them coming.

they are three actually:

" It all started back in 1988, with a Fleischmann set forgotten in the family’s attic in Helsinki. Set on track the locomotive worked fine. All it needed was a small layout, something 1,90m long…
10 years later, talking with a friend came out the idea of building a modular layout, having operation in mind based on a timetable. Each would have its own layout to run home. They would be built to the same standard so we could connect them in exhibitions. Another friend came to take pictures. He never showed interest in model railways, but next month he was buying stuff and willing to participate in the project. The G160 was born, taking the name from the scale ratio of N (1/160). Together, the three layouts make a reasonably sized exhibition layout.
The rolling stock is properly identified by owner. Following personal tastes in the acquisition of one’s rolling stock, the “fleet” has turned out to be quite complementary. The team work runs well, decisions are taken by consensus and the tasks are given according to one’s “speciality”. We have a landscape “specialist”, a wiring expert and an “official” swearing expert that expresses in unspeakable ways when things don’t work the way they should, we just have to take the hammer off his hands... We really have fun."

EW EW EW!

If the need arises, I would be happy to fill in as the swearing guy, as I have learned many many unmentionable words in several languages while in the Navy. I would submit to you my resume', but international anti-lewdness laws prohibit sending it across a border. :D :D :D
