TinyVille, a place for small ideas ;-)

Model Railroader Layouts and layout building
1

Hi there !

I’m a 42 years old guy from Norway and have buildt a small layout in H0-scale.

It’s called “TinyVille” and the size is 5x3,3 ft (150x100cm), its a small layout for small places.

The theme is “some place somewhere i Norway in the early 60’s”.

If you have been in Norway, you will recognize the style of nature.

The track are DCC-controlled, and I’m using the system from Roco, the MultiMouse.

All turnouts are digitally controlled by the MulitMouse, the track are code 100 from Peco with Peco PL-10 turnoutmotors.

Here is the trackplan:

The track is going in two levels, and track track parts that is marked with dots, is going down in the lower level.

The basic structure is buildt in plywood:

I’m using Woodsland Scenics trackbed:

testing the topboard:

Then it was time to lay the tracks and testing. Its a small layout with rather sharp curves, so it was necessary to test often:

Here I’m testing my Di5, a small diesel locomotive:

This is beautiful work, you must be proud. I wish my efforts were half as good as this.

That’s pretty nice. Is it your first layout?

Sweet! Really nice weathering and detailing, clean and not overdone. I especially like the Di3 Double ended cab unit. It’s nice to see some handsome European locos to augment a steady diet of U.S. prototypes. Thanks so much for posting so many (really well done) photos and providing inspiration for your fellow modelers.

Very nice work Lokojon…you make it look so easy. I almost bought a Roco system like yours before I settled on the Atlas one (same as the Lenz system). So how do you like it?

Nice microlayout, but I didnt see any access holes to the underside of the layout, have you had any problems with stalls or derailments where the track goes under the scenery?

Sweet layout. Thanks for sharing the information. It’s really cool.

Very nice! I like the way you have used the space. It looks very good in the finished?!? state.

I also use the Multimaus, and I am very satisfied with it.

Oh, and one more thing: [tup]

Hi everybody !

Thanks for all the nice replies ! Just wanted to share my work for the inspiration[8D]

Some replies on questions:

I like the system of Roco very much, the MultiMause is easy to work with and easy to learn, that is important for me.

But I must say, I haven’t experienced other systems because I’m rather new in this hobby. Started in august last year. Last time with modelrailroading was at the age of 10… I went to the closest hobbyshop and got some recommedations, and ended at Roco. In my childhood I used Märklin. And with the DCC solutions today anything is possible:-)

I hope you all will enjoy the pictures of my Di3 and Di5 wich I have been weathering by myself. I resently bought an airbrush and love painting with it. I have more locomotives, and will post more pictures after they have been weathered.

To the question on derailments:

I have cut holes in the bottom plywood so I got emergency entrence from below:

So far I have experienced two derailments, but the track are really smooth underneath, so it’s not a big problem. Through these holes I can reach all the track.

Hope that gave you some answers !
