TT Scale. The Ideal Scale.

A quick loop through the partially done staging.......

Nice to see your rapid progress! Mine is - sadly - much slower.

What buildings you've planned to use? You said, you won't model a specific region or country.

I want a lot of greenery (grass, trees, bushes). I guess my idea is of small / medium size station on the outskirts of town. I plan on very few buildings - a station (Auhagen "Klasdorf" - which I'll rename to something else) and a goods shed probably made up of two Auhagen large freight sheds.

However, after seeing what the trains look like going through the large radii in the staging I'm thinking of redoing the whole upper deck (the station) to get rid of the sharper curves. I would also like to incorporate a small engine shed somewhere.

No american building? Hm, okay ...

Auhagen's new kits actually looking great, especially their smaller brick-work. Only problem, they supply no separate brick-work plates (not yet), that are necessary for more elaborated modifications, like the dividing of the freight shed from the Klasdorf station building, what I want to do.

That's exactly what I've done the last time, and I think, it worth it.

The buildings are actually of very little interest to me so I'm not very concerned with their appearance. Plus, my layout is not being modeled after any specific country or even region. It's more of an imaginary place I guess

Fantastic!

Good stuff! I am envious!

While waiting for more switches to continue work, I decided to get a little old school and pulled out a bunch of BTTB wagons. The loco is one my first ever. It's about 26 years old but still has no problem with a 2.5 meter train

Nothing wrong with old locomotives...

Finally got a chance to work on the layout a bit. All the rail laying is done for staging. Now everything needs to be wired and then the rail has to be cut at each of the joins of the 4 parts of the layout.
