Shaun Posted January 11, 2003 Posted January 11, 2003 As many of you know, I like trains. I recently started working on my model railroad layout again. I just wanted to show you all how it was comming along. What do you think?
Guest cloricus Posted January 11, 2003 Posted January 11, 2003 [spoiler][color=#00ff00]Nice. One thing though. Put fishing wire or this special stuff from the modelling places for the power lines. Adds that nice little touch of detail. Not very expensive either. That is a very nice model... Worked out better than mine. Noting that on mine two corners of the track where cut to short and when the train came round it didn't turn, it went straight, straight in to some other models that is. Good job - post more when you've done it. :D[/color][/spoiler]
Spikey Posted January 11, 2003 Posted January 11, 2003 [COLOR=darkblue]Great job. It looks pretty real, except for the guids that hold up the guidwire. There kind of crooked. But the train is very nice. The background with the dirt made it look very real. I think that it is better than any kind of modeling I do. I tried a train model once, it broke while running. But yours is amazing, great job![/color]
Shaun Posted January 13, 2003 Author Posted January 13, 2003 okay. I fixed the pole line, and I decided to have a bit of fun with photo impressions!
Guest cloricus Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 [spoiler][color=#00ff00]Very nice. What sort of controls are you using? (Take a pict if possible?) How many trains do you have going? (And can use at the same time?) Put some power lines on! (Yes this is my favourite detail, don't ask me why...) [/color][/spoiler]
Shaun Posted January 14, 2003 Author Posted January 14, 2003 The controls are just a simple, one cab control. The layout isn't big enough to run more than one train at a time. Although I could have a short one in a siding while a longer one passes it. I intend to put some power lines up, but I want to order this special elastic string, that way if I hit it on accident, it streches and won't snap the poles. Glad you like it! Here's a pic of the entire layout. This was taken a while back, and I have worked on it a lot since it was taken.
Shaun Posted February 22, 2003 Author Posted February 22, 2003 I guess this was a double post, but I've done more if anyone's interested... I added more realistic trees and a lot of scenery and such.
Frankie Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 Cool i like that shaun yours is much better then mine... when i had one... oh how i like that
Shaun Posted February 22, 2003 Author Posted February 22, 2003 Here's another shot of the trees. They look great compared to the other ones.
Frankie Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 Oh i like that.... my train.. never had much detail.... but yours... is cool
Guest cloricus Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 Looking at your over all layout it looks nearly the same as the one I had... Looks sweet. *Sits back and waits for more piccy's*
Alexa Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 [size=1]Whoa..That must've took a lot of time. Good job ^_^[/size]
nezzyjean Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 That model is awesome!! looks real!! How'd you get the time to make that?? ^_^
Shaun Posted February 22, 2003 Author Posted February 22, 2003 It's been over 6 years in the making. Believe me, this hasn't happened overnight. It's quite expensive! :)
Lady Asphyxia Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 [color=darkred]I am very, very impressed. It looks like real railway, which is the best you could hope for in the world of modelling. I can imagine how expenisive it would be. Eep.[/color]
Shaun Posted February 26, 2003 Author Posted February 26, 2003 I'm glad you all like it so well. I'll update the thread as I update the layout. Thanks for looking! :)
Frankie Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Wow... i like that. I wish i kept with mine. Oh well.. I like this... i need a hobby. The only hobby i have is... well wait! I dont even any one! Bwahhh no fair! Ill just have to go get one *walks of to the nearest hobby shop*
Shaun Posted April 2, 2003 Author Posted April 2, 2003 I've done a little revision, and got a handle on my digital camera. Here's the results...
Frankie Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 neat...very cool... to bad i am not good at things like that... you have your hobby i have mine i guess
Shaun Posted July 10, 2003 Author Posted July 10, 2003 In light of all the weather this part of the country's seen lately, I thought I'd make a stomr pic out of one of the model pics. What do you all think?
Frankie Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 looks cool and all but it kind of looks liek the lightning is upside down.. going from earth to the sky...
