Thanks !

Hi Guys!

I finished Switch Control Painel + Dwarf

Well done, Leandro! That was a of of work! I am looking forward to further updates!

Excellent Leandro!

The panel and the dwarf signals look great!  It does make good sense to flip the panel around to be in the direction of the layout itself.

Mark, Thanks !

I don´t know what I had in mind when I put the panel in the wrong side!! 

Now I fixed it 

Wrong

Fixed and New Logo " Enzo & Giovana Trains "

I do things like that, get on a roll, and only realize later I didn't want that.  I like the new logo!

Hi, Guys ! Happy New Year!!!

New pictures about progress, I finished wood base detail and signals.

Should I like to know your opinions about my rock wall that I created!?

Thanks !

Leandro, I like your rock wall.  What did you make it out of?  The layout is looking very nice.  You have the start of a nice town.

Your rock wall looks like, .....well, rock.

So Here in Brazil I have very difficult look for Foam Board like in The EUA, but I found a foam board fos size 60cm x 45cm and plate thickness of the 0.5cm.

Don't I know if color tones it's ok !?

First of all, I think the colors look great!!   I had to do a calculation to see how big 60cm x 45cm is in inches.    It's a lot larger than I thought!  I know, we in the Unites States should really get on board. 

I recall in about second grade, the teacher was teaching us the metric system.  She told us that we would be using it exclusively someday.  Well, almost 60 years later we still use feet, inches and miles, and I can't think in metric except that a meter is about 3 inches longer than a yard! 

Leandro,

I am not sure how I missed this thread in the past.  It looks like you are having a lot of fun there!  Very nice job on the layout and looking forward to following your progress.

Thanks!

WOW - The rock wall looks amazing, and the layout plan is equally outstanding.  I'm a big fan of reversing loops as well. Good job

So in inches we have 23 5/8" x 17 23/32" and 13/64"

* 2,54cm = 1 inch

My rock wall had source of inspiration in your rock wall I asked for you. Do you remember?

Yes indeed!  I have gotten in the habit of running the conversion calculator on Google anytime someone posts metric dimensions.  Usually everyone who not not American.  We sure didn't get on the boat for that one. 

Hi Guys !

New pictures about of the last updates!

So, I would like to know which do you think about the painting (rusty) in track ! Was it good or not?

Thanks,

Leandro, It looks great!  So does the ballasting. Keep going.

Steve

Beautiful track. Always impressed by your work. It's doubly amazing since you live in Sao Paulo - it must be incredibly challenging to obtain so many nice items from the USA.

My tracks Altas I bought in Train Show, october, 2018.

I am a relatively new member here and I came here to get inspiration for my layout.  I have a son too who is the main reason I have gotten into trains.  I check this section once in awhile to get fresh ideas.  I just had the chance to go through your thread from the beginning.  What an awesome journey for you and your children!  You are creating excellent memories.  Thank you for sharing!
