[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by bluepuma</i> <br /><br />In the latest MRR, sure liked how well the HO layout caught the look of the town, nearly as if I had been there. I'm in N scale, and most of the models are not available, would need to be scratchbuilt. Lived in Arizona and California for a long time, drove though the little towns looking like that, except usually no railroad, Barstow is bigger. May be BNSF tracks near the border where I-40, former Highway 66 went through, more often I drove the route of I-10, no tracks, or to Vegas, no tracks most of the way. He sure caught it, all it needs is my Suzuki motorcycle or a few Harleys. <br /> <br />Also admired the N scale 2.5x5, looks amazing, inspiring, my friend Mike started a slightly different version of the same loops, on a door, so longer. Noted the use of the Milling offset between the two store buildings as a viewblock, I will remember that and use that when I place some of my buildings, to hide the train running along he back loop in my city area. <br /> <br />Good job, very positive. <br /> <br />Also like the Turtle Creek extension, when I first saw that, I thought, NOW it looks like a railroad. My favorite layouts have been L shaped, and I'm starting mine with a 2.5x7.2 and 3x7.4 L before I build down the other two walls. <br /> <br />Tomcat Puma <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Pelle is a gifted and talented person and we can all benefit from his articles. He reads this forum and responded to our conversation today on the following Subjet on the second page. - Check out that Subject also if you want to read more about his work and his website. He is from Denmark as I had said Swenden, but he is very gracious and answered us. <br /> <br /><font size="3"><font color="red">Pelle Soeborg is da' man</font id="red">! </font id="size3"> <br /> Posted: 01 Feb 2005, 15:23:32 Quote <br /> <br /> <br />Posts: 350 <br />Joined: 24 Dec 2001 <br />Location: US <br /> I was very impressed with Pelle Soeborg's new layout featured in the March issue of MR. He is a true craftsman. <br /> <br />
