Hi everyone.
It has been a long time since I last logged in here. Currently, I'm working on a N scale layout. A blog post was made by me on this mentioned layout. If you'd like to see it, please visit

Have fun!
Thanks for posting this, it has been a while since you were here, welcome back
. I also see where you've changed scales.
Anyway, keep us posted on what you're doing.
@ ezdays : Thanks for welcoming me back.
Yes, I've changed scales. It's definitely impossible (or very difficult) for me to have a HO scale layout here in Singapore. In my new N scale layout, I started with an approximately 2'x4' blue foam board. But I'm also finding it probably too ambitious. I might chop the 2'x4' board and settle with a 2'x3'.
@ Tyson : Thanks for the appreciation.
Things like this encourage me to keep the hobby.
You've done very well within what must be strict limitations. Nice photography, too!
@ MountainMan : I'm glad you like the photography.
I just used sunlight and our room lamp for the lighting. The camera I used for both photos and videos is the one from the iPhone 5S. My secret weapon is a tripod mount for mobile phones.
I was desiring more low angle photos, but that was difficult for a layout that I placed on the floor.
Hi Michael. I have a question for you; I see you're using cord-stock buildings. (And nicely done, by the way.) Where did you get them?
Hi GimpLizard,
Some were from <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.illinois.gov/ihpa/Preserve/Pages/construct_mainstreet.aspx">http://www.illinois.gov/ihpa/Preserve/P ... treet.aspx</a><!-- m --> (which give their card models for free). But they were in HO scale, so I had to rescale them to N scale.
As for the others, they are from <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.fiddlersgreen.net/shop/category/name/New+England.html">https://www.fiddlersgreen.net/shop/cate ... gland.html</a><!-- m --> . I bought them several years ago. And when I bought the whole set, I was given PDFs in HO, N, and another scale I don't remember. I think if you'd go the path of buying an individual structure for them, they will also give that structure in the mentioned scales.
Ah, Thanks. I guess I should have recognized them, then. I have downloaded building from both of those sites. In fact, I'm a big Fiddler's Green fan. Especially of the aircraft models.
Thanks again.
Hi everyone!
I've just completed Jovyburg. And I ended up buying an Atlas Trainman set with an Union Pacific GP15-1.
I was desiring to model the 1950's, but it appears that there are better product options when modelling more modern eras. I've chosen the mid-1980's era.
You can check out a video I made on the layout. You can find it here:

Pictures are to follow.
Michael are you planning on adding people and vehicles?
Hi Mike,
Vehicles and people will be lovely. However, I can most likely source it from the internet only. There are some hobby shops here in Singapore, but they carry few N scale products and they provide European models. I will also have to research which vehicles fit my era. But after I post some pictures on the current layout, I will be placing it on the back burner. I haven't really decided yet on what to do next.
