Large Scale Central

My first 0n30 layout

Hello, So this is my project in 0n30. I have available a space of 4m x 1.20 m in order to do something, and I decided on this scale. The layout I have raised in 3 1 / 2 levels. One underground and hidden, another as a basis for layout, another double-height, and other one intermediate. This is the hidden circuit plan.

Level -1

Left side

Right side

wiew from the left side

wiew from the right side

First connections

Clearance.

All covered. Level 0

First detailling works…

Well, thats all until today. Regards, Xavier

Wow! that looks great!

WOW! so many frozen yellow frogs!

for a couple of weeks now i get a lot of cubed frogs with the request to register at image shack.

but others seem to see those pics.
does that mean, that imageshack is spying on us, to be sorted by IPs?

Interesting layout with a view too ? Just doesn’t get any better. Nice.

Xavier,
Nice to see you will have somewhere to run trains as well as a showcase for your modeling talents.
It’s looking amazing so far.

…grinning…

Nice work. Layout looks great with the scenary.

Really nice. I love US narrow gauge too, but with your city location you could have also done a modern railway using the real city as a backdrop in photos :slight_smile: In any case, with the natural light and real sky photos will be wonderful.

It is great to see all the progress on the layout. I’m hoping to build a Gn15 mine complex on the layout outside.

Hello.! thanks again for yours comments. Well, here a new update. Its a small part of the mining complex that I’m trying to build. [url=http://img709.imageshack.us/i/dsc08086f.jpg/][img=

Xavier, terrific work there.

Model railroad with a view. So cool.
The mine is looking really good.
Ralph

Are you sure you are building this layout and it’s not a ready made kit? You do more in one week than I do months !!! Maybe you can do this for additional income as there would be a demand for your skills and some would pay big bucks to have a layout custom built.

Still need to put the roof of the building from the entrance to pit, and how a lot of details. (smoke stacks, doors and windows, and many more.) At least you can see something now. Hope you like it. Regards, Xavier

Hello, just another update of my project in 0n30

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5420/dsc08283h.jpg)

This is a small structure is a loading dock, with the both longest sides open.

(http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/5499/dsc08286l.jpg)

I have not decided what kind of cover for the roof going to give.

(http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/8274/dsc08287m.jpg)

(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/5162/dsc08292i.jpg)

In this other building, I’ve put the roof shingles. Need to install the top angle.
