The Kingdom of Ostrovia

Hope the translation didn't have too many errors!

As many errors as usually but it is understandable and the sense is not distorted.

Rather remiss of me that I haven't posted any updates! Things have moved on, a plan made, and changed(!), the end board being dropped temporarily and building started. The layout is designed to be taken to Model railway Shows and has to fit in the back of our Golf Estate. Here are a series of photos showing the construction so far, you will recognise that the plan is based on Kamenice nad Lipou which fitted everything I wanted in a station. Three loops, sidings for goods traffic, and an engine shed.

Had it's first exhibition over the weekend, ran well but still plenty to do. Ran it as Austrian in the morning and Czech in the afternoon!

Hi hobby,

I really like such a little "sleepy" train station, and yours is almost close to nostalgic reality..
(videos from May 12, 2020 and the latest-today's photos from the weekend exhibition)

Thanks, and may you continue to prosper in the further work on the narrow tracks

Thanks Dovi!

Nice story, nice layout and well done! As Dovi said, the atmosphere is typical and very characteristic for that type of railway. Good job!
Technically, I used very similar idea for controlling the points, just the rod runs below and the switch itself is placed at the edge of the layout, forming a control panel.
