Foreign layouts? - andersley - 02-17-2010
Just wondering if it is ok to post foreign (non-North American) layouts in this section?
My model railway is of Slovenian prototype.

Most definitely!!! Post away!

I'm certainly interested. I've become much more interested in European railroads since having made a recent trip to Germany and Czech Republic.
(especially if it's steam!

Re: Foreign layouts? - andersley - 02-17-2010
My layout is current era (mainly electric with overhead catenary - plus diesels) but I have steam locos and steam-era wagohns so I can back-date when the mood takes me.

Alan---your contributions have just raised Big Blue to a "World Class" level
Re: Foreign layouts? - faraway - 02-17-2010
Alan, that is a great layout! You found a very good balance between open space and tracks.
It looks familiar to my German eyes

Wow! you have a great website, and a great layout.
Re: Foreign layouts? - Puddlejumper - 02-17-2010
:jawdrop: WOW! Your layout is very nice and your rolling stock as well! I particularly like the Class 362 locomotive. Very well done!

Very nice indeed and welcome to Big Blue.
Re: Foreign layouts? - andersley - 02-17-2010
Thanks for the welcome everyone - you are a very friendly bunch!
I used to be a member of The Gauge some time ago, and found my way back here in a round about way - via a chance comment on Facebook! I was on way too many forums a year or two ago when I was manufacturing US N scale freightcars (AC Models- later Alan Curtis Models). Since retirement 2 years ago I now have more time to spend on forums, model and real railways. 8-)
Re: Foreign layouts? - andersley - 02-03-2011
In response to a private message just received, an update.
My lack of posting is due to the fact that we recently moved from England to live in Slovenia. We are renovating a house, which takes up a lot of time - I have not even ventured out to photograph the local trains.
The layout was completely dismantled for the move, but all structures, etc. will be reused on a new layout, (bigger than previous one)
I will look out some pictures to post in the meantime.

I've started in 1987 building my station "Naumburg", following the prototype.

It's a FREMOdul, about 40 cm wide and 5 m long. I'M traveling with this module to meetings.

Wolfgang, super modelling! I looked at your website to see more pictures of Naumberg, and would love to see a lot more.
