TT Scale. The Ideal Scale.

We've built a small layout for this event: http://www.modell-hobby-spiel.de/
It's located in the northeast and fully freelancend. After this weekend i will publish more pictures and maybe some movies (youtube)

I like that layout looked at it a few times today. Looks real to me and that is what counts, can't wait to see some more pictures

Nice layout.
At the left side there is some truck... Tell me some about it. ;)

agreed. that is nice. he's avoided the temptation to cram too much in and to have a realistic road rather than one that looks like it was included as an afterthought.

if it's in the northeast, then both types of PVM open hopper are appropriate for coal traffic. the colour of the ground cover suggests a coal area.

You got it Alex, that's what sells it and what makes it look real, add bit of rust paint on the far rails and I am sold.

Here some pictures from the exhibition. The Layout is covered und surrounded by acryl glas.

Picture 4 is my favorite view.

There are rusty rails. ;-)

I have build the wiring. We have four sidings and additional the switcher shed and three functioning turnouts. There are two circuits, one for the main circle and one for the sidings incl. shed.

And a last picture. It is a close up from the bridge, short after the airbrush.

Very nice!
Can I repost it in Russia? ;)

There are 2 "striped" :) black-and-white locomotives on the 2nd photo. What type of locomotives they are?

Yes, you can repost it.

The locomotive behind is a boxcab-diesel from shapeways at the scale TTn3 and in foreground a rebuild of an old whitemetal kit. Taxari has more informations about it.
