Thank you very much John!

Soon you don't say it, I have been studying it for about a year and about four months since I started the renovation work of the space and the construction of the model.
Of course I will write and post pictures as the build progresses.

Georg,
It is a nice room that you show us here. Also the painting is well done!

A little bit wondering to your different Level, but I am pretty sure you will explain this issue a little bit later.

[GEORGE LARISSA]

Many thanks FR Manfred!
I explain this in my first post on the local topic.
I made this module 11 cm lower to create a valley between two mountain masses with two railway bridges of which the inner one will be level with the rest of the model and the outer one will be 6 cm higher, so there will be a different visual 11 and 17 cm at this point.

The next task I did was to make the module that is in front of the door reclining down.
I made a wooden wall case, put a hinge of the meter below and made a slot on the top with a gap of 5 mm for the later installation of the backdrop.

I also installed two aluminum latches that secure the two adjacent modules.

I also made a yellow and black line on the outside of the module so that when someone wants to pass under it, they have to watch their head.

Yesterday I did an initial preview of the backdrop.

First I cut and pre-drilled 2×5 aluminum corner pieces and placed them on the back of the woodwork of the modules with a 4mm gap for the backdrop to sit in.

The material I used is 4mm flexible marine wood so it curves around the corners and for the whole surface it took 4 pieces about 2.2m long and 49cm high.

I will then remove the leaves, place alignment and interlocking slats on the back and paint them sky blue for now, in the future I will decide whether to paint it or use photo shop editing.

Another well done with the background!
I like them as your whole project! nice is also the raster on the wood plates. It helps a lot by placing the things on the correct postition!

I hade some time on Sunday but I took it for my Project around the house. But hopefully after all this work I can go on with my Larissa!

Thank you very much Manfred!

Don't worry, the hobby should be developed slowly and with a clear mind, the rest of the work will always come first, and from now on I have some pending work and the layout will wait a bit.

[GEORGE LARISSA]

After almost three months of inactivity in the construction of the layout I say to start tomorrow timidly timidly with some work, but I said to put the first train on it today at least with temporary lines.
I hope it's lucky!

[fire_grisu]

Nice to hear from you.
As the news I was afraid and hoping everybody is OK from you.

These temporary layout are naccessary to get the happiness about moving trains.
The blue 320 is grate to see also without fafour livrey of my.

There are a lot of refrigerator in your collection!

Well done!
