Bloody hell...diversion or what....so in two suitcases its on its way....going for 4`x3` board
DB n gauge.....To be continued....you know who is to blame.....
Be handy for WW2 scenery! And a few conflicts either side :D
Depends on the rolling stock....
But - ACW, Boer War, WWI mainly eastern front, WWII, and Modern scenarios up to the 80's on Sino/Soviet border.

I've been buying so much N gauge stuff recently I've been seriously tempted myself... :-\
yes, very interesting, i have not built one ,since 1986.....wow...
Pictures, Marie. That's the acid test. :)
well the update is.....carpenter found the good wood, then the the good wood got used for a hotel desktop...Merde...second piece of good would(or not so good) warped inn the sun..
The the door knocks again, Madam, I have your good wood for the trains....
Great at last progress, I measure all the bracing positions and instruct the painter to give it the once over with grey primer...only to find out that night, that the good (now painted black)??? Is meant for window blocking on another building...Doh!!I discuss with my husband( as he pulls his hair out) That I am keeping this now black wood, and that his carpenters can find their own, boarding up sheet of ply....ha,ha....So base board is finally constructed and braced....I`m awaiting the hole drilling man to come on Monday (electrician) you have to love Ghana for its simply complicated way of doing a simple job...
Would have though you could drill it yerself.......
came up in conversation on Thursday - Lone Star OOO stuff - die cast in the 50's and 60's, about same standard as contempory Dinkys, and not at silly prices on Evil-Bay. It's almost same size as N gauge I'm told.

Luckily I ran a furniture company so any jobs I wanted doing I could do myself :D.

I hate that expression. :(
progress so far has been very good...although not all N gauge terrain/buildings look right together..
Locos are running fine, and my cleaner gave me a great royal blue feather duster, for track cleaning, fabulous 8)
Tasty - I like those buildings!
Progress report, yes I have been stuck in and on my tunnel for ages, but now its all fine and working...
I`m slowly running out of good wood, and I had to sack the good carpenter, so now I find that carpenter number two had actually made me three train boards..
Obviously a language barrier there...
Ebay has been a god send...
You will notice I had to increase the board size to 5`x 3`
But however I have gained another war games tabeltop.
Looking good, but what did the carpenter do wrong?
Nice hills!
Coming along nicely. All large projects progress by fits and starts. I think it's a law of nature.
