Here is what I worked on this week:

Amtrak 463 which I detailed and weathered. I posted more pictures here: http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/p/165268/1818030.aspx#1818030

Talking trains with one of the masters, Bob Grech.  I think this is when I was talking about the interactive parts of my layout.  Bob, are we ready for the thunder and lightning yet?

Hi all,

Reserected th eold diorama due to my layout being taken down for a house move Sad

Also I've got hold of a weathered Bachmann Coal truck, which goes nicely on the diorama:

I really like the landrover. What scale are the vehicles? My brother lives in Kingston-Upon-Thames. I assume thats upriver from you?

Wolfgang,

Love the snow covered tree on the roof of the Kwikee Mart. Puts the whole video in the Christmas spirit. Those people swimming in the pond earlier in the video must be freezing. Big Smile

Hi Driline,

The vehicles are mostly 1:83 scale, the exception is the bus at 1:76 scale - all ideal for HO/OO gauge.  Kingston-Upon-Thames is the otherside of London about 40-50 miles from where I am. (A long way even by river!)
