About this blog

This blog covers the evolution of my H0 and N scale model railroading projects. Central in both scales is the fictional Dutch town of "Valkenveld".

My current shelf layout is a 150 x 30 cm H0 switching layout based on the classic "Inglenook" concept. It's the early 1960's and the small yard resembles a part of a freight-only short-line serving several industries in the town of Valkenveld. The layout was exhibited at EUROSPOOR in Utrecht between 28 and 30 October 2016. For more information on the Inglenook track plan and operations see www.wymann.info

On some images you will see Austrian rolling stock in Valkenveld - a tribute to my home country.

Currently, a new layout is in the planning phase. It will be another H0 switching layout, with an L-shaped size of 250 x 110 cm.

My main areas of interest are freight traffic, Diesel power, short lines and urban/sub-urban settings. I believe that "small is beautiful" and can provide lots of building and operational fun. I am therefore particularly interested in small and micro layouts, shelf layouts and switching layouts
