Extensive track layout and free rides around the park for kids, even big kids (parents)
All trains are built and run by their owners, quite an engineering feat.
"Valkenveld H0", made by Dieter Marquardt is a 150 x 30 cm H0 switching layout based on the classic "Inglenook" track plan. It's the early 1960's and the small yard resembles a part of a freight-only short-line serving several industries in the town of Valkenveld. The layout was exhibited at EUROSPOOR in Utrecht between 28 and 30 October 2016. For more information on the Inglenook track plan and operations see www.wymann.info
Too close? I hadn't previously noticed that Bachmann appear to incorrectly model the GUV with buffers in the retracted position.
Got this one up over at Dave's : www.flickr.com/photos/davefotoblog/
There's a couple of other guys from Copenhagen as well..
come and visit www.toytrainheaven.ea26.com for model train scenery items like figures, trees, lamps etc.
A great event for train fans and kids. Los Altos Museum has it annual Train Days this weekend. Maybe 1/4 acre of model train layouts, many different gauges in a beautiful location. One layout has miniature steam engines that burn real coal.
This is the back corner of my N scale model train layout that my dad built for me in the basement of my grandma's house. The room used to be my aunt's studio but she got married and moved out and the room was finished but empty so I got to have my model trains there. I never did very much with them though.
I have no real idea when this is from. My guess would be somewhere around 1988. I still have all of the trains although they haven't run since then. I might even still have the track!
David Lee of Dundas, Canada spent 50 years making this elaborate model train set in his basement to 1/87th scale.
In 2017, it was moved to the McMaster University Health Sciences building at Bay St. and Main St. in downtown Hamilton.
Sadly David Lee died on January 22, 2019.
The Bracken Ridge Layout c.1980 - the first. About 16ft x 6.5ft, minimum radius for running lines 3ft. Duck under entry top left. Three levels, terminus top right on the intermediate level, hidden sidings and reversing loop bottom right low level. Intermediate station top left high level. Note single track continuous run right at bottom of layout.
My train path consists of 6 modules that are connected to a path that is 540 centimeters long and 90 centimeters wide. I do landscapes, lakes, rivers and small urban communities. At one end of the train track is a small caravan that houses two workers working on train rails.
"One day, the railway worker was surprised to meet a beer-drinking man who enjoyed his Pilsner beer behind his caravan on the hot summer days ..."

My cousin John from St. Louis showed off four of his G gauge steam engines (including a highly detailed 1/32 scale Berkshire locomotive) at the Owosso Train Festival. They run on either butane or alcohol and generate steam power just like the prototypes. One member of the Michigan Small Scale Steamers even had a G gauge British saddle tank engine that burned coal!
