Some more #ModelRailroad content. Since I haven't got much space, I opted for a small base-plate (110cm x 75cm). With a 1:160 #Ngauge scale you can still get some action onto the tracks.

So here's my first #Layout. I'm a total noob to these things, #TerrainBuilding etc. so I kept things "flat" (no elevation / upper level). Still, I wanted my trains to run through a small tunnel (gray section posing as "rock"), which will be made of "Styrodur" plates stacked on each other and being decorated / painted "rock" style.

Let me hear what you think?

So after some reading and trial and error, I've set up a "couch table oval" to learn and test the decoder functions. Now I can control all switches, the trains and the decoupler from #RocRail. Nice. Next stop: feedback sensors and block sections ...

And yes, this is the actual base plate I'm going to use for the finaly layout (on which I'm still working with SCARM)

Windmill.

N-gauge (1:160 scale) windmill, repaired and repainted.

The sails had been glued on to the body. I removed this and repaired the axle so that the sails now spin freely.

The whole thing was then painted up in a realistic style.

N-gauge train shed. 1:160 scale.

Re-built, Repaired, and Re-painted.

The colour of the painting was matched to how it was originally painted by my Grandfather, just in my more realistic style.

N-gauge house.
Repaired and re-painted.

This little house (1:160 scale), was in a sorry state when I got my hands on it.

I repaired some minor damage, gave it some interior furniture, mounted it on a base and painted it up.
