August 24, 201311 yr I'm getting a bit stuck on the area between the curves, suggestions please? I agree with Ashi Valkoinen, it is a lot easier to keep all your scenery on the grid and just use a layer of tiles between where your curved track road bed edge meets the scenery.
September 7, 201311 yr Author The results are here: Fixed It by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr I'm still open to critism.
September 7, 201311 yr This looks really good now, I particularly like the retaining way supporting the outer track, it's a nice little detail.
September 8, 201311 yr very very nice, but... before LEGOWorld your bank account will be empty ;) I'm also hoping to do some ballasting for LEGOWorld, mainly to hide cables etc.
September 8, 201311 yr Author This looks really good now, I particularly like the retaining way supporting the outer track, it's a nice little detail. Thanks very very nice, but... before LEGOWorld your bank account will be empty ;) I'm also hoping to do some ballasting for LEGOWorld, mainly to hide cables etc. I think so, but so far 99% of the parts used came from my stock and the previous layout, but I'm starting to run low on certain parts (DBG 2X4 bricks and 2X2 LBG tiles)
September 8, 201311 yr So you will still be able to buy food, good to hear that :). Solutions like lugbulk get us a lot of certain parts, but still, to create the whole layout it costs a very lot of bricks (both in money and ABS ;))
September 8, 201311 yr Author Lugbulk is nice of course to get a lot of certain parts, but still, to create the whole layout it costs a very lot of bricks ;) I was indeed planning to participate in LUGbulk next year. (if I can find money.)
September 15, 201311 yr Author Almost done, 3 Baseplates to go. Still not sure what to do with the center area. Almost done by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr Almost done: Details by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr
September 16, 201311 yr I'm thinking a pumpkin patch would fit quite nicely in that spot. Use basketballs for ripe pumpkins.

October 7, 201311 yr Author Thanks, It is as good as finished (really small details made on site) so I can start packing this weekend.
October 7, 201311 yr I like your Track underground. Most people put the Tracks direct on the baseplate, but that looks realy unrealistics. And your Buffer looks Great!
October 20, 201311 yr Author I like your Track underground. Most people put the Tracks direct on the baseplate, but that looks realy unrealistics. And your Buffer looks Great! Thanks Today is the day. If you don't see it before Wednesday, You will probably never see it. It will have a full and total rebuild agian. See us live at by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr The next layout will have a turntable and perhaps a roundhouse,
October 22, 201311 yr That looks simply fantastic. Wish I could see it in person. I love the tunnel, the buildings, all of it.
October 30, 201311 yr I've almost forgotten this topic, but fortunately I found it! Really nice job, unfortunately I had no way to see it. What is your plan to build next?
December 13, 201311 yr Sooo nice, so many details and great buildings! Well done! Wonder how you guys disassemble and assemble your layouts for shows? Hmmmm...
