On the centuries-old Soelen estate lies Soelen Castle. The castle is surrounded by a moat and all around is an extensive (linear) landscape of forest and meadows crisscrossed with hiking trails. Since the early 1990s, Soelen Castle and the surrounding 157-hectare estate have been owned by Staatsbosbeheer. It was recently decided to sell the apartments in the castle, the coach house, the apartment in the gatehouse and the garages owned by Staatsbosbeheer.

Deseret Peak, at least to my eye on this monitor, is still slightly visible in this photo over the spine of the Oquirrh Mountains.
The LDS General Conference was to begin the next morning across the street from the Salt Lake Temple which is clearly recognizable with its six characteristic spires below. If you're interested taking a closer look in that area will yield a very clear idea of the layout of downtown Salt Lake City.
How to include the tree in silhouette on the right was a tough decision for me. I decided my best route was to give some meaningful sense of where this photograph was taken. Moving further left I quickly lost the context that made it a great environment in my view to begin with. It creates a somewhat unusual feel for me but still I decided it worked for my own taste.

New spring leaves cover most of the bushes and trees along Layout Creek near the site of the Ewing-Snell Ranch in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area in Montana.
It's about time I shared what I've been up to recently. This is my layout project which has been slowly coming along since the beginning of 2020..until recently. With the last lego show before I leave for college almost a month away, I've been cranking away at getting this great project done.
It should be mentioned that a decent number of my builds are hidden off camera, or at least have yet to be photographed and put online. Some make it to different platforms before others, but this is the first bigger reveal of this project and I'm excited to show you what it looks like when it's all done. I've been making so many buildings and models that I can't keep up with sharing them, so what you see in these photos will be shown in greater detail later on.
One of the big things the layout lacks however is a name for the village that it will be based around. The signal box sign says "Wickford", however I don't think this will be the final name. Any suggestions?
Many more photos to come. It's already looking spectacular and i can't wait until it's finished. Enjoy!
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Roman wall of Zaragoza is a defensive wall built in the Colonia Caesar Augusta, in the Hispania Citerior Tarraconensis province belonging to the Roman Empire, currently called Zaragoza, being the capital of the autonomous community of Aragon, ( Spain ).
Built under the command of Tiberius in the 1st century and reformed until the 3rd century, the Roman wall of Zaragoza came to have a length of about 3,000 meters and about 120 defensive towers. Two sections have been preserved: the longest, about 80 meters long, at the northwest corner of what was the Roman city of Caesaraugusta, next to the Torreón de La Zuda, and another on the northeast side, which is currently part of the Convent of the Holy Sepulcher.
Its layout, studied by Francisco Íñiguez Almech, must have been regular, with a height of about ten meters and four in width. At intervals of fourteen to sixteen meters were ultra-semicircular towers, with a diameter of between 8 and 13 meters. The wall of the Roman foundation enclosed and conditioned the urban layout for many centuries, as they were reused by Visigoths and Muslims.
The 2008 edition of the Zaragoza Historical Artistic Guide directed by Guillermo Fatás, points out that recent research indicates that the preserved wall was built in the second half of the 3rd century AD. C. and executed with a uniform construction technique: an interior body of Roman concrete covered with ashlars on the outside, 7 m thick except for the eastern section, which would be built in ashlar rigging and would be 6 m thick.

Eu já vinha a algum tempo pensando em algo assim, camisetas com essa temática, a falta de expressão. Porém, não era nada ligado a esse movimento de trazer os bigodes de volta. Ai como os "moustaches" estão em alta eu resolvi aderir ao movimento e usar a minha velha idéia. Então criei a "whitout expression series" aonde pretendo criar mais algumas ilustrações seguindo essa temática, sem expressões e com bigodes. Talvez elas virem estampas de camiseta. Ou talvez não ...

Frame 1 No Tractor
Frame 2 Introduction far right
Frame 3 Almost full tractor and trailer
All three frames at Cullerlie Stone Circle looking back to the road near Garlogie hamlet, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
“Cullerlie Of Echt; Standing Stones Of Cullerlie; Standing Stones Of Echt; Standing Stones Farm, Leuchar Moss; Cullerie.” From www.trove.scot/place/18548
There are several names for this setting of stones and there have been records of several stones and earth works nearby. The Stone Circle with internal Stone Cists is now clearly marked from the road and gravelled around the reset stones that have been archaeologically excavated. The nearby trees and farm bring natural growth and farming close to the circle and those that built it would have managed and valued resources as we still do.

“A 2004 survey of the site discovered that several of the stones had been carved with previously unnoticed cup marks.”
“It is regarded as "a later development from the recumbent stone circle",[3] though its layout with kerbed cairns within the circle makes it unique.”
“Excavations carried out in 1934 by H. E. Kilbride-Jones on behalf of the Ministry of Works,[1] showed that the circle was built in stages. The entire site had first been cleared, leveled and burned by setting fire to piles of willow twigs.”
“In 1820 James Logan wrote: "The small Circles contained in the larger present a curious singularity; and it is also remarkable that, at a short distance to the southwest, are nine others of similar dimensions."[6] However, when the site was excavated in 1934, no trace of these satellite circles could be found.”

This drone photo, taken as a long-exposure shot over 10 years ago, holds a very special meaning for me. It evokes memories and tells stories—not only about Karlsruhe but also about my personal journey as a photographer. With the advancements in image processing over the past decade, I felt it was time to give this photo a fresh and modern look without losing its original magic.
The photo showcases Karlsruhe in all its glory: the majestic palace at its center, perfectly embodying the city’s history and its fan-shaped layout. It bridges the past and the present. Remarkably, this photo remains unique to this day—no one has created a comparable long-exposure drone shot of this iconic scene.
The creation of this image holds a symbolic significance for me. As a young boy, I learned in school about Karlsruhe’s history and its unique city design. Years later, almost unconsciously, I transformed that story into this photograph.
Beyond its aesthetic beauty, the photo also highlights significant landmarks of German democracy and science. On the right, nestled in greenery, you can see the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht), Germany’s highest court and a pillar of its legal system. On the left is the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), one of Germany’s leading institutions for science and research. In the center stands the Regional Administrative Office (Regierungspräsidium), surrounded by numerous other government buildings.
This photo is not just a view of Karlsruhe; it is a tribute to the city’s history, architecture, and importance.
Did some layout work today - track checks, points and build the tunnel basic frame which will get covered and landscaped;
Were gonna have a smoking home for Christmas this year! The construction of the Christmas village train layout is on schedule, and all the trains are running on time despite a few cost overruns on the capital train equipment budget.

Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England. The house was built in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French château between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898). Since this was the preferred style of the Rothschild's it became also known as the Goût Rothschild. The house, set in formal gardens and an English landscape park, was built on a barren hilltop overlooking Waddesdon village. The last member of the Rothschild family to own Waddesdon was James de Rothschild. He bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust in 1957. Today, following an extensive restoration, it is administered by a Rothschild charitable trust that is overseen by Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild. In 2007–08 it was the National Trust's second most visited paid-entry property, with 386,544 visitors. The Baron wanted a house in the style of the great Renaissance châteaux of the Loire Valley. The Baron, a member of the Viennese branch of the Rothschild banking dynasty, chose as his architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur. Destailleur was already experienced in working in this style, having overseen the restoration of many châteaux in that region, in particular that of the Château de Mouchy. Through Destailleur's vision, Waddesdon embodied an eclectic style based on the châteaux so admired by his patron, Baron Ferdinand. The towers at Waddesdon were based on those of the Château de Maintenon, and the twin staircase towers, on the north facade, were inspired by the staircase tower at the Château de Chambord. However, following the theme of unparalleled luxury at Waddesdon, the windows of the towers at Waddesdon were glazed, unlike those of the staircase at Chambord. They are also far more ornate. The structural design of Waddesdon, however, was not all retrospective. Hidden from view were the most modern innovations of the late 19th century including a steel frame, which took the strain of walls on the upper floors, which consequently permitted the layout of these floors to differ completely from the lower floors. The house also had hot and cold running water in its bathrooms, central heating, and an electric bell system to summon the numerous servants. The building contractor was Edward Conder & Son. The towers were modelled on the staircase towers of Château de Chambord. One of the twin staircase-towers inspired by those at the Château de Maintenon. Once his château was complete, Baron Ferdinand installed his extensive collections of French 18th-century tapestries, boiseries, furniture and ceramics, English and Dutch paintings and Renaissance works of art. Extensive landscaping was carried out and the gardens enhanced with statuary, pavilions and an aviary. The Proserpina fountain was brought to the manor at the end of the 19th Century from the Palace of the Dukes of Parma in northern Italy: the Ducal Palace of Colorno. The gardens and landscape park were laid out by the French landscape architect Elie Lainé. An attempt was made to transplant full-grown trees by chloroforming their roots, to limit the shock. While this novel idea was unsuccessful, many very large trees were successfully transplanted, causing the grounds to be such a wonder of their day that, in 1890, Queen Victoria invited herself to view them. The Queen was, however, more impressed by the electric lighting in the house than the wonders of the park. Fascinated by the invention she had not seen before, she is reported to have spent ten minutes switching a newly electrified 18th-century chandelier on and off. When Baron Ferdinand died in 1898, the house passed to his sister Alice de Rothschild, who further developed the collections. Baron Ferdinand's collection of Renaissance works and a collection of arms were both bequeathed to the British Museum as the "Waddesdon Bequest". During World War II, children under the age of five were evacuated from London and lived at Waddesdon Manor. Following Alice de Rothschild's death in 1922, the property and collections passed to her great-nephew James A. "Jimmy" de Rothschild of the French branch of the family, who further enriched it with objects from the collections of his late father Baron Edmond James de Rothschild of Paris. When James de Rothschild died in 1957, he bequeathed Waddesdon Manor, 200 acres (0.81 km2) of grounds and its contents to the National Trust, to be preserved for posterity. The Trust also received their largest ever endowment from him: £750,000 (£15,310,270 as of 2014).

At last I've a small space to set up as my railway layout. I'm as yet undecided as to be either fully 9V which ive initially gone with or go with the RC method as RC may form part of my loco builds in the future.
Now to start building trackside items and buildings, fun times :-D
Hello all,
Sorry for the long silence, have been bussy with school/ exams and other things in life.
The layout hasn't chanced very much since the last post, I added some minor things but not very much.
Today I built up the layout in the living room to check if the tracks were smooth and if there were any other problems and afther some tests I started packing for the Noppenbahner event this weekend.
There are some small things that I need to improve so thats a nice task for tomorrow.
Enjoy the pictures!
The Secret Garden
The Secret Garden is one of the hidden treasures here at Blenheim Palace.
It has an abundance of plants to learn about and is a great location for a school visit. Suitable for primary and secondary classes, this resource outlines the layout of the garden, its history, what plants and trees grow there, why they were chosen to be planted and how our Gardening Team maintain the three-acre site

Here is the beginning of my over the top layout 😅
Keep in mind this is half of the track plan.
Still got buildings and greenery to add to this half.
But so far, all this is about $15692.619 AUD (minus custom track)
