modular rural single track line

[mwagner]

Hi,

actually I‘m building a bunch of modules of a rural japanese single track line. I want to show some of the results and some of the building process so far. 
 

At first I introduce to you my station at finally three modules of 31x15cm.

@mwagner Very nice work! Kudos! The U modules look great, i love the simple elegance of their design, easy to build and light feel.

 

for a long time I had the idea of doing a rural one track set of long, thin modules like this. Something less track and more scenery like yours. I was playing with the idea of spring switches in the station platform siding so I could do 2 trains with reversed motors and a dead rails in the stations. This way I could run the trains in opposite directions and have them auto stop at stations easily and even visitor push a button to get the trains moving again. Your modules inspire me to do some rural modules with my mini onetrak concept on the smaller side first and when I get some time, get bigger.

 

cheers,

Hi Jeff, thank you for your praise. I appreciate that you will be inspired to build your own idea. I would like to take a closer look at the results.

Looks awesome! Both the build itself and the photo angles.

 

Nice "back drop" also. 🙂

 

I'm looking forward to seeing more later.

That's a fine piece of work @mwagner You have my full approval on the detail to the scenery.
Even though mine won't be modular, I certainly would like to attain the standard that you've got with my layout's scenery!  
And I love the sakura trees! 

[mwagner]

Thank you all for your positive feedback. Maybe you would like to see the next module? It is a corner-module with dimensions of 29 x 29 cm. I had a lot of fun modelling the underground of the forrest-like parts. The base ist ground black tea. This means that the module also smells pleasant. 😅 KR Markus

Great work - amazing feel - you would never realize how small it is from those pictures.  Also, nice work with the trees.  I am working on a small module and definitely have tree envy after seeing yours!

Tschuss,

Tony

Hi Tony, thank you. Most of the trees are cheap plastic trees from ebay (https://www.ebay.de/itm/384472794080). I use these as a starting point for the detail work. The dead tree is a part of a real root, which I've collected in summer. KR Markus

[Tony Galiani]

Just made use of that info and found several sets that look very useful.  Orders placed - a cheap and cheerful way to add to my tree variety.  Appreciate the tip.

Hi, a sunny update with my next finished corner module. I‘ll hope you like the pictures. KR Markus

I like it a lot!

 

What product are you using for your fields?

Thank you. The fields are made of ordenary fibers for static grass applications, type dry grass, length 4-6mm. 

[MeTheSwede]

Oh, so it is static grass!

 

The fibers look so well ordered I assume some kind of grass mat. If you teach any static grass courses I need to attend. 😄

[Martijn Meerts]

You need to learn how to speak grass, and kindly ask them to line up 😄

 

[cteno4]

You need to act like a drill Sargent and get them all in formation!

You are invited to visit my workshop. There is no rocket science, just a good working tool and a lot of patience. 😇

Hi @mwagner this is all very beautiful. I'm particularly pleased by the inclusion of my car, hiding under a bridge. 😄

 

Now all I have to do is find one in my scale. Maybe I'll ask around!

[mwagner]

Hi, just finished a new corner for this module standard and want to show some pictures. KR Markus

That's beautiful!

What next? Another corner module is finished. This scenery was inspired by the Nagareyama Line. KR Markus

I love the angle of the foreground street, that really reshapes the tight corner very nicely!
