Realizing some street running

It is worth all the work for the wiring. I am very pleased with the result. I made some pictures with background and train...

 

 

 

Kind regards an happy easter

Lars

Waow! This is excellent Lars!  

 

This is a place where we would like to live. 

 

Your clean and fine work gives me the motivation for my own layout project.

       
       



For sure!

Love the grass.. Needs a mow

Love the grass.. Needs a mow

 

Was thinking the same thing.  He could further enhance the scene by making a few rows of grass short and having a lawn tractor in the yard cutting grass.

 

Simply amazing and motivating.

Thanks so much for sharing.

 Just a minute please... I'm driving the cow to Lars' meadow with my old Citroën 

 

The view is better here:

 

Meuh! says the cow (Mouw?)

 

 

 

I think its more like, Muuuuuuuuuh

 

 

 

My accent is too bad 

 

Sorry Kurt. I stop to destroy your excellent thread.

Just an amazing scene with so much to take in.  That is some amazing modeling. ...well done.

Hi together!

 

I just came back today from a five day exhibition (Intermodellbau Dortmund), where I have displayed my O-Scale Layout. And I made some video clips from the new parts:

Nice videos, Lars. I don't see any sensors. How are you triggering the crossing signals.

Nice Lars!

 

Thank you for posting

Matt, the Crossing Signals works all the time...  The cars have no chance to cross the street.

 

Thanks.

Would love to see more pictures of this layout (Highway overpass,  Grain Silo) and also maybe a hint of how you made those beautiful trees!  This layout has been my inspiration for my own layout. 

  I've seen Lars stuff before, but due to when, what, and how, I noticed it, I thought he was just building point to point modules, and I hadn't gone deep into this thread to see that he actually uses them together with each other!

 Just when you thought you've seen it all  

 

Lars,

Your fans are waiting.   

Your are definitely right with the building of point to point modules. My layout will grow step by step. This is the current size:

 

 

Kind regards

Lars

Here are some pictures of the Grain Silo. From the beginning of scratch building till the end...

 

 

The Highway overpass:

 

 

And finally some city and street running scenes:

 

 

 

That's all for today...

 

Kind regards

Lars

Wow! That is a real world in miniature.

That was more than I expected.  I really do appreciate you showing me your work and how you created this monumental layout.  I must say thank you for taking the time in showing me more of what I want to model and portray in the future and inspire others in the future as you have done with many. 

Awesome... simply awesome.
I don't know whether to be inspired, or just give up!!!

AWESOME is quite the understatement.  Glad you are off the bike for a while and can get back entertaining us!

 

Thanks for your replies. That gives me a new incentive to continue the work. In my head is still something new. I would like to build a small passenger station (like the Atlas Maywood Station) next to the suburban houses. But there is no passenger train in my fleet at the time. If Atlas would bring out the colorful Pepsi Can again, I would start the work immediately...

I lost track of this project, glad it resurfaced so I could catch-up. It's nothing short of outstanding. Thanks for sharing, Lars. What a pleasure.

I like the scene Lars!

 

Very nice scenery!

 

Great!

 

And happy to have news from you.

 

Really nice. Can I learn more about that commercial structure you created with the DPM modules? IT's in the center of this photo- tan building with freight car load/unload underneath.

 

Lars,

 

I've seen you have weathered your GP60! Good idea!

Of course I will tell you. I hope to find the right words...

 

The basement of the structure is made of wood. I have spackled the wood to get an concrete look. For the structure itself I have used the following DPM modular parts:

 

- Blank Wall 90103

- Street/Dock Level Rectangular Entry 90104

- Double Rectangular Window 90106 (for the office windows at the street)

- Rectangular Window 90105 (for the stock windows)

- Street/Dock Level Freight Door 90107

- Dock Riser 90108

- Cornice 90109

 

I have used the Dock Riser between the the lower and the upper level to get enough space for a High Cube Box Car. I have also modified the Freight Doors, because the wooden look was too much vintage for me. I have scratchbuild the frames and doors with parts (strips and sidings) from Evergreen Scale Models. The pillars as well as the subceiling are also made of wood, again spackled for an conrete look. At the following pictures you can see the working steps:

 

 

 

Kind regards

Lars

Lars,  that building is really nice!

 

Dan Weinhold

Lars,

 

Where do you get the motor vehicles for your layout.  What scale are they?  I've been looking for vehicles from this era.

 

Thanks,

Bill

Outstanding! Thanks for the ongoing posts.

Hello Bill.

 

All the motor vehicles on my layout are from Neo Scale Models:

 

http://neoshop.replicars.nl/

 

They are all 1:43 scale. I always try to them by auctions on Ebay Germany. The models are quite expensive (about 60 Euros). But sometimes you can get them for about 30 Euros at an auction.

 

Kind regards

Lars

Very impressive work Lars. What are the overall dimensions of the entire L shaped display?

Also, the depth. I'm anxiously awaiting further updates.  

The overall dimensions are 580 cm x 490 cm including the fiddle yard (320 cm without the fiddle yard). The depth is about 60 cm. The dimensions of a single module are 100 or 110 by 60 cm.

 

The fiddle yard has four tracks (on the pictures you see only three, in the meantime the fourth is completed). On each track I can park up to three 50 ft Boxcars. At the end is enough space to park a diesel locomotive.

 

 

great work!!!
