You're welcome

The basic buildings... I using and in some cases re-using some models I have collected so again they are not models of the actual buildings seen at Alber. The "Hostel" is an Auhagen kits "House Carola" with the addition of an extension from another Auhagen kit, as an old "posh" house converted into a Hotel I feel it fits the bill... The station is from my original TTe layout and so is the small building next to the viaduct which is nicely dwarfed by the viaduct...




There are other things to add, one of the electricity sub stations which populate the rural areas and a small shrine I have hidden away together with an outbuilding or two...

I am due to exhibit the layout next week at the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway's Gala Weekend, so some finishing off to do! Here are some photos:

Hobby - that's like original. Congr. It's nice to see a small part of home...

Thanks! I didn't want to do a scale model, just the elements of the place, so it's got the viaduct with three stone arches and three metal spans, the loading bay in the far corner (though a loop and not a siding in the station) and the "hospice" in the background... Have you seen the proper model of it at that exhibition in Prague in HOe? That's very nice!

The most important goal of all our modelcraft aiming is - or at least should be - a plausible impression. The one emanating from your piece of work is great.
