We build fine quality miniature worlds with a high attention to detail and fully functional operation. We like to add little details and unique design ideas hidden throughout our layouts. We have over 40 years of experience and expertise in custom building Layouts, Architectural Development Displays, Miniature Structures, and Fine Scale Models... We build and personally deliver layouts to anywhere in the lower 48 states... World wide crate shipping available as well.
We are working toward our ultimate goal of building our own layouts mine a giant HO 1940's layout with nearly six foot tall skyscrapers, and my Dad's will be a massive Pennsylvania four track mainline in N Scale.
That’s an absolutely gorgeous layout. I enjoy model railways, as we call them here in England!! I have a small layout that is going to be shown on 14 and 25 August.
Yes!! I spent a couple of hours in Shelbyville waiting for a special steam train to bring some stock for my cousins who ran National Automotive Lines. The special train came from the Hershey Steam and Traction Festival.
Nice to see an American layout instead of an English one!! There’s too much noise associated with American railroads. I couldn’t hear the railroad sounds when I was in Shelbyville, Indiana!!
I grew up as a teen in the 1970's in Davis California watching the SP pass through town, across the causeway into Sacramento and up on Donner Pass when traveling up to go camping or skiing. The SD45's and tunnel motors were always my favorites. ScaleTrains will be offering N scale SP SD40T-2's later this year. This layout does remind me of Donner Pass, particularly the tunnel with the cement hump over it. The curves look pretty sharp. Did the SD45's come with the light package or did a modeler have to add it?
Muy bonita la maqueta, de tamaño mediano pero bien realista y no saturada. Yo tengo una maqueta de 7 metros de largo x 2 metros de ancho y me aburre un poco. Prefiero tener medianas maquetas, pero de diferentes motjvos y escenarios
Beautiful layout, except........the Keddie Wye is not in Donner Pass, it is in UP's Feather River Pass. However, this IS model railroading so you can put it wherever you want! I do like your Keddie Wye! Oh, at least you do have a Western Pacific train passing on it--it was them who built the Keddie Wye.
For my N-scale layouts, I like to leave the track as it is; black ties and shiny rails, i don't paint either of them, I simply add a little bit of fine grey ballast into the ties. I don't use glue, I pre-mix 'ballast magic' into the balast, then once the ballast is in place, I spray it with a fine spray of water and the glue in the 'ballast magic' is activated by the water.
Most of the time I look at European layouts but lately I discovered that layouts made in GB and the US are made so skillful. I wonder how you are able to create these mirakels. Is it just skill or do you have special tools or materials. I also have seen so many buildings that look so natural. My models are made out of plastic and it takes a Lott of work to change them into more natural looking buildings. Best regards from Jef in the Netherlands.
Good afternoon my dear friend. Would you be willing to share your layout track plan? I sure would appreciate it. This is fascinating. This plan is well defined for what I appreciate, however there is a lack of connection for me when I cannot understand how the two trains cross inside the tunnel. I ask if possible if you can publish only the rails inside the tunnels. Thank you very much my dears friens. Congratulations
