Petra depot scene progress, and a fuel storage I've been working on, for my 2-in-1 HO scale model railway layout.

A #structure I've been working on for about a week for my 2-in-1 HO scale model railway layout. It is a covered 'over the track' conveyor for crushed stone, and a small #building at the end which houses a chute which is used to load railway hopper cars.
.
The model is made from #balsa , corrugated #cardboard painted to look like corrugated iron, match stick like wood pieces, and printed industrial door.

A model of the locomotive posted just now can be seen here. It is dual facing brown one.

This account project will toot only #modelrailway #modelrailroad #ModelRailways #modelrailroads and will post updates and developments in the project.

In the rest of my life I toot over at @Waxingtonknee do join me there too for more general tooting.

Thought I'd repost my #introduction

I'm a technologist for #localgov during the day. A transformation enthusiast.

#smarthome, #lego, #modelrailways, steam train geek.

Constantly learning, technology (#3Dprinting, #drones, #selfhosting, #homeasistant, #photography, #drones, #infosec) and socially, to be a better ally to those who aren't as fortunate as me.

Quick running session. Here's NR52 with my new rake of RQTY container wagons. And sound. #modelrailways

Sound chip for the little Baldwin arrived today.☺️
Well, what can I say - I absolutely love that little kettle! 😍 #Modelrailways #Modellbahn #OO9

My original Southern-liveried Bachmann OO9 Baldwin 10-12–D had to be returned due to mechanical issues last year and there was no replacement available.
Therefore it makes me even happier that I was recently able to acquire this beauty.😍 #Modellbahn #Modelrailways #OO9

«Stop Lying to Yourself! Use This Method to Start Building a Layout in 2023» - Good #ModelRailways motivational video intended to help railway modellers who procrastinate, waiting for the day they can build their “Dream Layout”. For most, that time never comes. https://youtube.com/watch?v=GWXccs7-qQ0

«N Scale compared – can you see the difference between 1:150 or 1:160 buildings?» US/Continental European #NScale is 1:160 while Japanese is 1:50. British N scale is 1:148. All use the same 9mm track gauge. For me, US & British scales matter a lot because I am using the same layout & scenery for different running sessions. (The crucial thing is clearances for the moving trains.) #ModelRailways #ModelRailroads https://modelrailwayengineer.com/n-scale-compared-1150-or-1160-buildings/

In the coming year, I hope to get better acquainted with #DCC (Digit Command Control) and other electronics for #ModelRailways. As I trying to finally get an #NScale #ModelRailroads layout setup (an on & off project spanning 50 years), I decided to take the leap & use DCC instead of the classic CD.

New episode of my Newbie Railroad this week.

Just a short look at a box car and announce the winner of my F7 sound off.

Busy constructing and making some laser cut buildings today. I have no experience in painting these hence I‘m trying some weathering techniques on some cutouts. Works better than expected. 😊 #Modelrailways #Modellbahn #Scratchbuilfing

I wish the American #ModelRailways market had affordable cardstock kits like the Metcalfe and SuperQuick ranges from the UK; I end up spending as much on postage as on the model!
