Hi All,
Here is my N scale layout with a rockface backdrop around it the inner area to be an intermodal theme a mine also one of its features.
Living in a one bed flat it is in a corner of the bedroom though it is a large room so it allows me the scope to have two layouts my other HO.
Morganth has code 55 Peco flexitrack and electrofrog turnouts powered by NCE procab .... some items i have already done are in the diagram and the turntable will provide storage onto another board.
a few pics to show some progress
Twin tracks exiting the upper tunnel area.
Differences in the two upper levels at the end of board one before the bridge ....... the upper two tracks carrying passenger traffic the lower leading to the mine ........ the white plastic tube over the wires is only temporary while working the scenics to protect them.
Looking from the door end of board one the SP loco heading for the mine track followed by an E8 passenger.
Once the forms are carved and shaped / scenics added it wll look a lot better
The water escapes from the pool via an underground cave seen in picture two .......
Water tunnel next to mine tracks.
The rocks have been lightly drybrushed ..... the results are better than the pictures show, various grades of talus/sand/weeds from Woodland scenics now in place to form the bottom of the pool, the white hue is drying PVA to fix everything.
The mine building has been reduced to two tracks to fit in the scene evergreen sheeting used to match the cladding on the main walls.
I made a video of one of my Big Boy locos with both Kato A&B smoothsided coaches, sorry about the lighting quality in the room, this was Xmas 2008 before some changes were made.
