Carlos has been in touch with his HO industrial layout.
He’s a man of few words, but the pics speak for themselves:
“Hi Alastair,
I live in Portugal (oporto) and I and another friend, we are builing a layout in HO. If you don’t mind, I send some pictures about the layout progress.
Kind regards
Carlos”
A big thanks to Carlos – he’s taken some fab pictures of his layout. Can’t wait to see the progress pics for this one.
That’s all for today folks.
Please do keep ’em coming.
And don’t forget the Beginner’s Guide is here is you’re tired of everyone else having the fun.
Best

Very nice layout in progress, Carlos.
I particularly liked the “Golden Arches” McDonalds. I never gave a thought about McDonalds being in Portugal.

Que Bueno , Carlos. (sorry Portuguese is not in my roundhouse so to speak)
You have done great work. Especially noteworthy is the coal crane (not seen that modeled before) and the 10 ? sided tower by the roundhouse.
Keep em coming.

You have obviously put a lot of hard work into your set as the attention to the small details do you proud.
Well done and keep at it.
Love you layout !! Wow its great. The McDonald Golden arches are wonderful, yours is from the old McDonald’s building’s.
Carlos & friend,
I was looking at your coaling station. You did an excellent job with everything there. Did I see a partial image of a roundtable & engine house? If you do have one on your layout, I would like to see more of it.
Good job over all! You can be very proud of your layout!
Great Job
