Coming exhibition OntraXS!

Hard at work now, the micro has to be in top condition coming weekend. Still needs some details so that it will have. Also it needs some green overall and a little finetuning.

It stands on the living room table so I can work on it comfortably:


Made a new wire for switching the turnout.  The one that was in it broke: 


Made some stacks of pallets from a Auhagen kit:

More to come!

Debute was in Switzerland and it functioned well. Very satisfied with it!

I'm still alive!

What a shame... september and the first post in 2023!

A lot is going on, main focus right now is a micro layout that i started some 2 years ago. It froze in time until now as it has to travel with me to the US Convention in Switzerland coming 7 and 8 october. It is held in Neuendorf where we will travel to on the 6th. Its a good 800 kilometer drive and I will travel with my friend Ronald. Next to this layout we will promote our own Dutch US Convention which we held the first time in May 2022 and the next will be on the 6th and 7th of April 2024.

The layout is small, 1,2 meter by 0,3 meter, that is a 4 by 1 ft layout. Only 2 feet (55 cm) is visible, on both sides 1 foot (30 cm) is hidden. Trackplan is simple:


With its front on it looks like this:


The scenery will be based on the "Vernon" industrial district in Los Angeles:


How it looks at this moment:



Most is painted, still some to do like the framing around the visible part.

Its DCC, I use the new lenz starter system for this one. 3Amp, 4 locos maximum, that much I don't need. Track is Peco 75, turnouts are switched manually, the frogs are power routed. Necessary with Peco electrofrogs.

More to come!
