My N-Gauge Layout from last year

[Guest]

Alright people.

Even though i now do armour modelling, last year, i took on a project never done before to make a tiny N-Gauge layout for my stepson. It took me a couple of months to build and getting the right equipment here in Russia is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo difficult. So when my parents came to visit they brought me a couple of trains (Fleischmann) and a controller (a decent one) The layout is only 100cm by 75cm since Russian flats are pretty small and space is therefore an issue. Even though my layout is a year old, i was quite proud of it (despite it being basic and small) but it was my first ever attempt and it really pushed me back into modelling since my teenage years However, with space becoming ever increasingly short, i sold the layout for about $3K to a Russian who wanted one for his summer cottage.

I was worried about the current visa crisis here in Moscow but i found out earlier today that i'm fine unlike many others and will build another better layout in the near future... and sell it for an extortionate profit See, there are some good things about Russia, not just the beautiful ladies everywhere

Here are a few pics

Not being a train person, I'm probably not best qualified to comment, but that looks good to me Paul. And stop with telling us how much you sold them for-I'm crying into my bank statements here! Only kidding-I just don't look at them! Patrick

Ok Patrick, I'll stop boasting about the prices Don't think it's luck, there are just so many Russians with more money than sense.

Where I can't see the pictures only one's of your layout

I started doing a n gauge layout, spent a fortune of trains, rolling stock, scenery etc and never got round to doing it, I think if I could have got that sort of money for it I might have been a bit more motivated

Alright John.

Yes, the locos and rolling stock weren't cheap and bumped up my budget somewhat. I discovered once it was built i immediately got bored with it hence whey i realised i was more into the modeeling rather than the operating side.
