More from Brian today (and if you missed Brian’s previous posts, it’s here).


“Hi Al, as promised, a few photos of my double header logging Heislers pushing a wedge snow plow over a wooden trestle crossing a (mostly) finished portion of my scenery.

Will send a video of the above later.

Al the best.

Brian”

A Brazilian layout!

“Hi Alastar, every friday I open my e-mail and anjoy the photos an movies, my name is Anderson I am from Curitiba Brazil. I am now 38 years old and 25 years ago I knower Gastão, today he is about 90 years old. He builds the most beautiful HO layout that I know in my City. Therefore I would like today to honor him sending some photos from his layout to your post. He knows everything about railroad as he worked for more than 30 years on the local railroad as an engineer. I learned so much with his histories.

His layout represents the Brazilian railroad during 1970. Please, enjoy the pictures.

Thanks you very much.

Anderson”

Geoff’s layout

“Hi Alastair,

I have been enjoying your emails and content for quite some time. Many of the layouts and suggestions are excellent and inspiring in some cases.

I have taken the liberty of sending you four snaps of my N Scale 3′ by 4′ layout … I would love to receive feed back … this was my very first attempt to build a layout and n scale was the choice because of space limitations …

Thank you

Geoff”

“Hello Alastair, its been a while since my last message, but I have been busy building a high level continuous circuit above my South wales layout. I,ve also been on Hol to the Isle of Man.

The new track has several purposes, one to enable me to run-in new locos, to have something running when I’m working on the SW layout and not operating trains, and also, last year I bought an express passenger train set which would look silly on a small branch line. ( It was half price, too good to miss a bargain like that ) I can now run it with 6 or 7 coaches. Having said that, it cost me more to pay for all the timber & track.

But I enjoyed doing it. So I can run two trains while I solder, improve the branch line in some way or assemble a kit etc.

Hope this is of interest.

Alan”

I think Geoff’s done an amazing job crowbarring all that detail in to such a small place.

That’s all for this time friends.

Please do keep ’em coming.
