T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad: New Rolling Stock

http://tsmrr.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-rolling-stock.html

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad. My first N scale model railroad. This morning I picked up my last order from Model Train Stuff. Six SSW box cars from Exact Rails. And six SP gondolas from BLMA. All cars are really well done with great details and features metal wheelsets. BLMA's gondolas have body-mounted couplers also. Here are some pictures.

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad: More Photos of Track, Turnouts and Servos

http://tsmrr.blogspot.com/2011/05/more-photos-of-track-turnouts-and.html

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad. My first N scale model railroad. More Photos of Track, Turnouts and Servos. S promised here are more photos I took this morning. Few close-ups of turnout throwbars with the actuating spring wire plus shots from below the plywood of servos mounted using the Motrak Models. I taped the plastic ties to the foam in order not to lose them before placing under the rails. Servos and brackets fixed below the plywood. To answer a comment from Tom I have to say TVD. Thanks...

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad: January 2011

http://tsmrr.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad. My first N scale model railroad. Backdrop Mountains and City of Oakland. And these are some photos of the mountains I painted so far:. This is a short video I took with my iPhone:. Lastly, this is a shot of the 9th Ave Terminal where I wanted to put the skyline of Oakland. I made a model using a sheet of paper. To me the buildings are too large and appear too close comparing with the mountains far in the back. I think I should shrink everything one t...Watch for...

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad: March 2011

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad. My first N scale model railroad. Ig milestone this one. I started laying down the first pieces of track. Actually not yet tracks, however I marked down where the tracks should be on the entire right section and glued down some cork strips. This -in addition to be more close to the order of industries on the prototype- will leave more space for the ConAgra mill better using the available space in the right corner that previously was used simply for scenery. Two v...

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad. My first N scale model railroad. S promised in a previous post here are the new cars I received recently from my last two orders. Exact Rails ATSF covered hoppers and either COFC or TOFC from ConCor. Click on a photo to see the whole Picasa album. Esterday I went to a quite big home improvement and DIY store and bought additional sheets of 3/4" extruded foam I planned to use on top of the plywood, as the base layer. Today I cut various pieces to fit the thre...

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad: June 2010

http://tsmrr.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad. My first N scale model railroad. New locomotives and rolling stock. Esterday I received my last order for a new diesel locomotive and a bunch of cars. The loco is -guess what- an Atlas Southern Pacific EMD GP35 in the Kodachrome color scheme, if I'm not mistaken. Along with it I also bought a drop-in replacement DCC decoder from Digitrax, a DN163A0. Here's the usual collection of photos of the new entries. New locomotives and rolling stock. Clouds in the Sky.

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad: July 2010

http://tsmrr.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad. My first N scale model railroad. Warning: rather long post this one. Just realized this is going to be my post #100! So, I decided it might be interesting to take a break and look back in the past two and a half years of this blog to see what happened so far. This could also be a chance to translate a little part of my older posts for those not understanding Italian. So, let's start. My very first post. Work on the electrical plant continued in April. Also, ...

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad. My first N scale model railroad. Installing Backdrop, part 1. Then, few days ago, I read an article from Ryan Anderson. In the last issue of Model Railroad Hobbyist Magazine. About tips and link on how to improve the quality of photos and model railroad photography in particular. On one of the site. Ryan mentioned I found a very interesting post on at least two ways to build a light tent to shoot better photos. One. Used sheets of coroplast for that purpose.

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad: November 2010

T&SM RR - Time and Space Machine RailRoad. My first N scale model railroad. Clouds Done, ehm almost. Esterday I finished painting the left backdrop section and made few retouch on the right one. Now the sky and clouds are almost done. The backdrop of the central section still needs to be completed, though. Here I added few (not really good) photos of the two completed sections. Here are few shots of today's work. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Clouds Done, ehm almost. Something else to check out. Is license...
