Photo Shoot: NS 2437 working the Valkenveld team track

NS 2437 working the Valkenveld team track

Rob, Marco and I did a photo session one day before the open day of the OMC club on 12 November. This image of the Valkenveld team track was taken by Rob. It features my newly weathered NS 2437 on which I have also painted the handrails in the red-brown of the locomotive body.

About this blog

This blog covers the evolution of my H0, H0e (and N) scale model railroading projects.

My VALKENVELD shelf layout is a 150 x 30 cm H0 switching layout based on the classic "Inglenook" concept. It's the 1960's in the fictional town of Valkenveld in The Netherlands. The layout resembles a small yard on a freight-only shortline serving several industries. The layout was exhibited already a couple of times, for example twice at EUROSPOOR in Utrecht (2016 and 2018), at the MTD event in Belgium (2019) and at OMC Hilversum club events.

I am working on two projects at the moment. ELMSLOHE represents a shortline terminus in Northern Germany in the 1960s. The L-shaped layout is 250 x 110 cm plus a fiddle yard.

My other project is KIESGRUBE KLIEBEN, an industrial narrow gauge line of 760mm (H0e) serving a gravel pit. The micro-layout is just 75 x 30cm, thereby fitting into an Ikea Billy shelf. It allows some switching, following my concept of short operation sessions "at the flick of a switch".

I believe that in model railroading "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
