UBER late WPF...

Diesel Detail Freak
Anyone, anything? Its sunday, at 11PM PST and there's no WPF! I know the server had its outages, but?
 
Dutch layout N scale

I know it is to late, but I read the comment from Josh so.....:eek: :)
I hope you do'nt mind if there is no forest:D or desert:D on our N module layout .
I'ts a very GREEN typical Dutch modelrailway!!:rolleyes: All the buildings you can see are scratchbuilt by the members and do realy exist in the south of my country.
The picture is made during an exibition last month.
You can see a small part of the 48 modules we have
And I picked one picture out with a train on it :D Know most of you love that(Unfourtunately no "diesel" Josh;) because in my country, they have not such a big beautifull colored and already"weathered:D :D :D "dieselloco's

Please do'nt think there are no driving trains at all on it:eek: I made the pictures during a "break". Our layout is controlled and driven by Computer and it is possible to drive 5 or 6 trains(even more) at once. (I am told!!:D ) that you can program a route for each train and that ,also, you can give some trains precedense on other. So the "slow"ones will stop automaticly on the( programmed! ) parts of the layout to let "through"the fast ones.

Ahh, so there there IS a wpf after all! I finally had something to post for a change but no place to post it (until now).

Josh, great photo of San Diego Station - I remember it from my early Navy days several lives ago when I would see war bonnets parked there. Looks like the whole area has been 'gentrified'!

Joz, nice shots of the modular N layout!

Steve, I like that photo of the rail welding in your Dad's backyard, maybe you ought to post a link to it here as well?

I decided to try my hand at weathering on this handpainted Conrail unit (an old Kato SD40) for the first time since I did my Iron Belt SD's a year ago. Kept it 'light' since I can't undo over-done weathering.
At the same time I also decided to try using a specialized bulb in my photo floodlight for a more accurate representation of color. Now I'm wishing I'd have done ALL of my IB photos using this bulb! Oh well...

20 seconds later after violent reaction that's it, one welded rail

Also note, the three Preiser trackworker figures in front of the van, did they move in ten mins or didn't they

And it looks fantastic, very nicely done!

Speaking of green... What are you using for ground cover? It is quite realistic, and I'm impressed. What material is that, and do you have any more photos?
 
Products from the U.S.

The "stuff"we use is very common::rolleyes: Woodland fine turf!
W.l fine turf soil T41, W.l fine turf weeds T46 , green T45 and also coarse turf: dark green T65 plus other , but not so much, fine turf stuff.
We also use foliage cluster Med. green: FC58 for low small shrubs , the big shrubs are made with the filterstuff I wrote about.
Of course we mixed on some places the turf with other stuff like real soil from the neighberhood...
 
no jobs anymore?

"Joining flextrack" ( by Steve)

If the company sees these pictures:rolleyes: you make me think the "3 PREISER men will probably "have no jobs in the future after this :D :D :D ha ha ha
It''s almost like on a layout: no movements(ecxept the 2 between the track:) )
Nice pics and comments:)

Jos, those are some of the best scenicked N scale modules I've ever seen.
Most of the ones I see tend to be urban or very sparse.
 
snow

Steve: " I am trying out various methods"
Yesterday I had a phonecall with Mr. Tolkemit(snowlayout on the picture I posted) and he "makes snow" just like you but also he paints the surface twice even three times with white latex wallpaint and while it is still wet he ads "snowglitter"from Noch or Heki.
He told me that "glassdiamantin" is not avaylible any more in shops because is is made from real very small parts of broken glass!!
Good luck with trying out;)
