hello!
I´m two days old at this forum, and its great! Feeling home even if I´m in the very start of a 1:50- On30 railroad. When I found the scrollerbutton, I found a On30 forum and this one!
Well , living at the Norwegian West coast not far from Stavanger and Bergen, we have plenty of rain and snow. The summer is short and thats why I ´ve chosen to build an indoor railway, making sections from Styrofoam.
The Topic is a WW2 buildt industrial 900 mm narrowgauge railway from the big Electric Furnace Products Company Ltd in Sauda, to the german Nordag plant at Saudasjoen. 2,4 km track, mostly at broken stones filled in the fjord beside tne old road. http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj205/efpco/Nordag-banen/no9981705-48.jpg
It´s a great challenge, But someone have to start, The history becomes interresting; talking to those few still living people who had their work arond the line.
Spend some times digging in archives and find treasures like the picture in the link above. Its great.
My experience in Modelrailroading comes from an old H0 modelrailway,quite small, but it gave a lot of fun! Now the children is out, and the H0 hung up.
OK: this could be enough I think, I´m spending more time at the PC than at the Workbench
