The development of a few new models.                                                                   (2010-04-09)  
 

For the moment I´m trying to assemble
a couple of newly constructed etched models
to find out what have to be improved to produce the models as etched kits for the
Swedish market.

Rusheden - a quick built speed track for an exhibition                                    (2009-12-25)    
 
During 2009 I have built two models of the Swedish high speed train, Regina 250, used as a test platform in the "grönatåget" project. (se article below......)

To give these models a good chance to run at full speed at the model train exhibition at the Swedish Railway Museum, held in October 2009 there was a need to build a high speed section for my layout.


How the four speed sections were built -->

The layout at exhibition                                                                               (2008-11-30)
   
 
In early october the layout was shown at a module exhibition at the Swedish Railway Museum.

For two days the small N scale engines were running  in the sidings between the big 1:1 scale engines of the museum. 

Some pictures from the exhibition.

 

 
    

You are welcome to the swedish mining district in miniature
A mid swedish N-scale layout.

 
This website was started in may 2001 and  gives me the opportunity to share the continuing  work with my layout with others.
  
The  layout portraits the region between lake Mälaren and the mid swedish mining district "Bergslagen" and is a combined home- and exhibition layout.
    
The prototypes for both the buildings and the rolling stock comes from this region which also means a lot of research and scratchbuilding.

Another production run of handbuilt engines                                   (2009-01-20)
   
Early november 2008 i started up the second production run of the Hg engines in N scale.

This run contains 24 handbuilt locos with a body of my own construction. 16 of the locos are pre booked.
If everthing works well, the run should be ready for
shipping, late february 2009.

New for this year is that the body also is released
as an assembly kit availible in my webshop.
 

 

When this run is finished I will hope that there will be more time to spend with the layout again. 
 
Here You will find a small series of pictures showing the

The day when the construction sector people arrived.                              (2007-03-14)
   
 
During the last month I have built a couple of service vehicles for the "Construction Sector". 

It is two rebuilt railcars, 
 - one staff wagon (PMV) 
 - one lift motor unit (LMV)
The later used for maintenance of the overhead catanary system:

A short presentation of the operators of the layout                           (2007-01-14)
After quite a few hours down in the paint shop it is now possible to make a presentation of the different local operators that works on this layout. Well, not all are really local, even British Rail has a far outpost at this layout.

Report from a module meeting at the Swedish Railway Museum            (2006-11-13)

Both the exhibition layout and the new Fremo modules were shown at a module meeting in Gävle in october:

This scene became rather popular at the  module meeting at the Swedish Railway Museum were my modules participated. 
 
 

Module building                                                                                            (2006-11-02)

 
There has been a very low activity of updates on the english pages recently. 
The main reason is that I´m in fact are working with some real model railroading.

I am building a series of five N-scale Fremo modules.
This article shows the work with one of those modules
