My maquette (amazing N scale layout)

[manosdr]

I have a maquette in N scale 230X110 cm in digital Selectrix system by Trix, and a big collection with 86 locomotives and more of 350 wagons, all in N scale. 4 trains can run independently...

Amazing work!!

And beautiful collection of N scale, haven't seen that much before!

Where did you find the track plan, or did you make it yourself. It fits really well in the available space.

Also what track system are you using?

[TrainK1ng]

Thanks for sharing!!!

The pictures made my day :thumbsup:

[manosdr]

Thanks.:)
The first idea for the track plan was from the Noch catalogue, the rest from myself...
I use digital system from TRIX , the Selectrix system.:)

[tworail]

I would love to do a track plan like that with Marklin HO, it's really great.

[shaygetz]

Excellent...love those heavy electrics.:thumbsup:

[alfalfa]

Holy ****, that is amazing. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::worshippy:

[tworail]

It's a great example of a lot of detail in a small space. That's N scale for you.

Alfalfa, this should open up a few possibilities of what is within the realm of possibility!

Great layout and I see the picture that was used for the web banner in there

[manosdr]

Thank you very much!
I am very happy that hobbyist like all of you tells so good comments for my maquette...!:)

I always wondered about your avatar... That tank is awsome! Is that real coral and everything? :)

It looks like the "tank of the month" site is temporarily down, but when it is back up I am going to vote for you :thumbsup:

EDIT: Oh crap, it looks like I need to belong to the forum to vote :(

[ntrainlover]

Nice tank, what is the size of it and is it salt or fresh?:D

[Boston&Maine]

Nice tank, what is the size of it and is it salt or fresh?:D

Someone did not read :rolleyes:

I filled the aquarium with water to which I had added Red Sea salt...

I change 20% of the water every 30 days with saltwater created from the six-stage-RO/DI unit. I use Tropic Marin Pro-Reef salt...

[ntrainlover]

oh my bad my bad!:smilie_auslachen:

[manosdr]

Thanks.:)Enything in this aquarium is alive.!
It is not necessary to vote because my tank elected December 2006 Reef Central Tank of the Month...:)

Oh, LOL... Well congradulations! :D

[ntrainlover]

Good job, im not supprised, that is a great tank.

[manosdr]

Thanks a lot...:)

[Lownen]

Magnificent layout. I love the night pictures. How big is the layout?

[manosdr]

Thanks...!
The layout is 230 X 110 cm. The 230 cm is the length.

[ntrainlover]

you got a lot of running space in that small layout it looks like.:D

[sptrains.com]

230cm x 100cm = 7' 6" x 3' 3" Incredible amount of operation in that size layout. My HO Layout is slightly bigger at 8 x 4 and has no where near the amount of operational flexibility, but it's still fun!

[alfalfa]

I am still amazed. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
:worshippy::worshippy::worshippy:

[Lownen]

Out of curiosity, how many years did your masterpiece take you to build? I still can't get over how much you have put into such a small space.

[manosdr]

Thank you very much...!:)
I am trying to complete my maquette 5 years.!

[billroetter]

that is sweet

[PW_Lionel_Collector]

Your N scale locomotives/engines/cars collection/layout and salt water aquarium are amazing. :eek: I bet that salt water aquarium is hard to take care of. I've always enjoyed salt water aquariums, but I've heard they are a lot of work.:confused: Thanks for sharing!

[big ed]

last time that member has been on is 10/21/2008:laugh:

Though I agree. A very nice layout and trains.:D

[billroetter]

Thanks Big Ed
Going to change it all around for this year wish i had more room

[Reckers]

Manosdr, that is a terrific layout----I'm impressed with both it and your collection. You have one very serious addiction there, buddy!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[rob_campbell@comcast]

WOW! :eek::thumbsup:
This is truly an amazing piece of work! The night shot is simply stellar. Wow, just....wow! Thanks for sharing...this makes me want to get into N scale someday for sure!

[tjcruiser]

Can I go live there? Please? PLEASE?!? The whole town looks like such fun!

[dukenukem]

Holy cow man,that's so wonderful.

[imatt88]

[Pton46]
