History about making tracks

This will be the story of my third railtrack. My father started to make tracks when I was a kid. I loved to play with them and see how he made things. Now I have kids myself and I want to give them the joy off creating things. It does not matter if they like to do something with my railtracks, it´s just learn to use your imagination to create something. My first track was very simple, made from my dad´s stuff, which is over 30 years old. That´s why I now choose for Fleischmann, after cleaning them a little bit, the locs were all riding without a problem !!! ( I have also some other stuff, but it's all full with rust and will be a part of the scenery ). As I wanted more, I started to look what was available on the market. And there it was, Locs with sound, I felt like a little child again. So I started my second track based on digital Fleischmann. After building several years I saw it was getting to full, I want to create so much and there is not enough room. So now I have created enough room for the next years to make a railtrack like I want.

Creating a framework house part 2

Here is the next part of making framework houses.

After glue-ing the first layer of cocos parts of the glue were still visible. Also not all fibres were fixed. For the top layer I used lacquer to fix it and finish it, first the upper part, with the lower part still fixed and after that the lower part.
