In 1207 the first copper was found in our mountains, the result was that three landlords started to make their claims on it and started to build there castles. Over the years they fought a lot of battles, but non of the Family's got the final victory. In 1789 the last copper came out of the mines and the Family's lost their interest in our area. Only the castles are still here.
With first world war’s frontier only 100 km away from us and in those days very good rails, a lot of troop transports passed our area. The castles from Toici and Elici were used by officers to come the their selves from the war. The common soldiers only passed us. The rail emplacement was used for food and ammunition storage.
During the second world war the castles of Toici and Elici were bombed and only ruins are left. The castle of Moici still stands, but it’s empty. We are using a lot of materials to built our villages. Surprisingly enough our station and it’s emplacements were never bombed. But because surrounding tracks and bridges are still damaged, we never see any train anymore.
The year is now 1955, we are still suffering from the second world war. But people whisper that soon the rail tracks and the main station will be repaired. There are a lot of strangers seen at the station and the tracks, a cousin from my neighbour told that there were also strangers at the old mine in Toici. They say they need our coal and our wood.
The old mine from Troici.
We all hope better times come soon.
well this does not look as a building, but just take a look....
this will be the loading doc.
everything is glued, except some roof parts.
the upper part from the central building can only be finished as soon as the second village ( on 33 cm high ) is almost ready. It will become a part of the coal-mine, but well you will see in time.
This is the first loc house, it will be placed near the warehouse.
All pieces of wood I make myself.
As steam engine produce smoke we need some ventilation, it's made from a part of a... air-refresher.
Front view.
First loc arrived for maintenance. 
As I had to wait from time to time, I build in the mean time a little barn.
So now I have a garage for my wife's car .
No room for my car, but I'm happy with the result.
The house is finished, only the windows have to be added. As it was easy to make I now know that I can make the village I want .
After the walls I started to make the structuur with match-stick sized wood. This must be a bit logic, becourse in reality they are supporting the building.
Before finishing the walls I coloured all visible wooden parts
Then I filled up everything with gips.
The roof was a difficult part, it had to stay in the shape I wanted. It is made from cocos fibre. So for the first part I used glue, but that was a bit visible. The top layer I fixed with lacquer.
The story continue's, see part 2 
The old mine from Troici. 
In the next picture you see also the mountain areas, the difference between the lowest part and the highest tracks is about 50 cm.
