I need to prepare stuff for an exhibition gauge 1 model railroad. No track plan yet but I did start making bits and pieces that surely will find a spot somewhere…

Hope to start with the base a few months from now…

thanks for watching!

Very nice. I particularly like the variation in colour you get on the wood.

Wonderful work!
I particularly like that 2/4 floor (factory?) building - you've caught the weathering very nicely there.
Will this be G1 standard gauge? I look forward to seeing it!
Cheers,
John E.

Thanks for the nice comments!

It will indeed be standard 45mm track, scale 1/32nd. The layout will hopefully get a start within a few months. A few more buildings to go first!

The large building is a simplified version of a water-cleaning tower that stood in Göppingen (Marklin-town) one day. Found a number of archived drawings for this...

Some of the buildings I made for my former P87 track are redone in 1/32nd.
Here a typical Belgian Façade.

PS below is the H0 Version

thanks...

unfortunately it's moving too slow. With this cold weather I need at least a few hours for the workshop to get temp up to somewhat 13 degrees C...

It's been a while since I posted something here. Unfortunately I had a fight with photobucket and all the pics have dissappeared. I suppose there's no way to repair that here?

the last creation is this one:

I will present it next weekend in Sinsheim, Germany on the "Spur 1 Treffen"...
