I am always boggled by your modeling skills,  congrats on making second place. If I was a judge, you'd have taken first. Just beautiful work...

Hi,

please find a link on  video

I appreciate the big layout tour, Franck, and really enjoyed the nicely-done scenery and the many fast trains, but your slow moving locomotives were my favourites, especially for the very convincing sounds when they were pulling loaded freight cars.
As others have mentioned, I agree that your layout features, and those interesting-looking characters should have won first place.

Regards,

Wayne

Frank,
     The camera work and editing are great. I was very impressed the way the modules on the one display came together and it was nice to see some of the same containers we see here on trains displayed there. I find it so interesting too that there are so many that model the American roads. Getting the equipment must be pricey.  I have a friend in Denmark that models southwest Pennsylvania in N scale which is impressive too. 
      Thanks so much for sharing...I say again you should have taken best in show. 
Charlie

I have nearly finished the electric unload tipper. I have just to paint it now.

I'm certainly looking forward to see it in operation, Franck...your ingenuity is always entertaining.

This is the final photos took at the exterior. For those who are interested, this layout is for sale (only the layout, no rolling stocks). In that case you can contact me in private message.

Your work deserves all the accolades it gets. Well done....

Congratulations!

Dear Franck
     
        Your work is very inspiring because you show a lot of things that I would never think to model.  You really do show how enjoyable the hobby can be.  I am glad to know you through the magic of bigblue. Are you planning another project soon?
