USA O scale in The Netherlands

Hi Edwin, That rockface work is fabulous! I don't think I have ever seen better. And your trains look exactly right with the scenery. You have a realistic treasure there, so I am hoping you will be showing us more of it as time goes on.

It is very nice to have you aboard, all the way from the Netherlands, no less!

Impressive work.

Rusty

As the others have said, very, very, very nice work sir!!

More, more, more...........puleeeze.

Would you be kind enough to share your rock face building techniques?  Your work is as nice as it gets.  Thank you for sharing.

WOW ! Great job !!!!!!

Beautiful !!  Best that I have seen. Nice work.

This is a layout I would like to feature in the magazine, and have contacted the builder. Very nice work!

Thank you I have a lot of pictures to show you it will be as soon as possible.

Edwin, fantastic work and great photography. Glad you introduced yourself.  Please show us more.

nice work, Edwin! Show us more!

I have send more pictures of my rocks

I contacted Edwin and heard back from him. Will work with him to prodivea full feature for the magazine. All I ask is he reserve a good number of "unpublished" photos for the magazine so the paying readers get something that is not seen elsewhere, at least until after the issue appears. That is something I request of all authors. Folks who pay for the magazine deserve, insofar as possible, to get "unique" images.

Hello Edwin:

You moved to the leader of the pack with your detailed landscaping. Love the way you did the rocks and esopecialy the pines with the dead branches. The more I look the more details I see. You have some talent.
Maybe you could post on how you did some of the landscaped and tree?

Spectacular rock work - thanks for sharing and good luck on the magazine article 

Yes, fabulous pictures and great layout. 

Let us know when the article will be published. I normally do not buy 3 rails material, but will definitely do an exception for this 2 rails layout.

I am happy to run 2-rail layouts whenever I receive them (assuming they will be of interest to our readers). Ditto for O scale narrow gauge. I am NOT exclusively 3-rail minded, even though that is what I have myself. Come to think of it, I have a lot of On30, too, and am seriously thinking about getting some 2-rail scale and work with a local 2-rail club here from time to time.

that is COOL, very impressed.

The John Allen of the Netherlands!   Nice collection of US prototype equipment.  Certainly one couldn't have this type of scenery if he were modeling the "lowlands" !

Allen-I agree-I have old 3 rail tinplate but very interested in 2 rail and narrow gauge O scale.

Nice looking everything there. Get working on the article. Looking forward to seeing it.

Yeah, me too.  I subscribe now and then when I think there will be a 2-rail article of interest in subsequent issues.  I will have to try to buy the issue with Edwin's photos.

Note to Allan - I would buy such an issue even if all the photos had been seen here.  Nothing like a good hard-copy magazine to fondle.

Nice scenery, and quality models!  Get Allan to move this thread to all forums?

Edwin, a virtuoso performance in every respect not the least of which are perspective, lighting, and composition.

I guess we might have to wait for the magazine article to see the trackplan?

Edwin,  Very impressive modeling and photography.   As Frank M & Bob3 mentioned, might be the most realistic rock work I have ever seen.   Detail work and weathering in the yard area is also excellent.   Thanks for sharing the photos,  I will be using them for reference purposes as I continue to build my layout.    Please keep posting, your work is inspiring !   Chris A

Thanks everybody to do the rocks was for me very important on my layout after I done the yard but it is not finished yet still a lot of work but that is the fun.

I was in the states last year take a lot of photos and the color was very important so now the pictures of my layout will go to the magazine so everybody can see but don't worry

still a lot of more pictures I have and show you on this forum.

Edwin

Dear Edwin, that's phantastic all the way! Rocks - so real! And I really like your weathering. The shop goat has just the amount of patina to be completely convincing. I've seen similar work by Becasse Weathering in the NL:

Do you know him? I am so amazed with you photos. Can I visit you one day?

Kind regards

Just terrific work Edwin! Excellent scenery! I can’t wait to see and read the article in OGR. 

Thanks it will be great in the article OGR you will see how I do it and of course after that I will post new pictures because

the layout is far from finished for example the yard and On3 what I have so much to do. I like the Union Pacific very much

but also other roads.

Edwin

The only thing I can say is WOW. Beautiful 

Thanks for sharing and love the detail to all the way down the tree trunks. 

hoi Edwin

zal deze winter toch eens bij je komen kijken

Sarah,

Yes I know becasse weathering amazing stuf to if you are in the Netherlands your welcome.

Edwin

It's a long time so a few more pictures about my layout. I t was to hot so now I started again to move forward a lot to do to make it better.

The yard is far from finished I think to rebuild it more structures. The FEF locomotive from Overland Models I still working on the weathering.

and it runs not so perfect so there is work also.

Amazing detail right from the track to the top of the rocks and in between. Great stuff!

Roo.
