Hallo Zusammen aus Italien,
As a silent observer and admirer for a long time of the beautiful structures in this forum I decided to open this new topic to present the photos of my “modelbahn-anlage”under construction in style DB (ep. IV / V) HO scale.

Unfortunately I have a very limited knowledge of your language, so I will use English with the help of Google-translated. I apologize if the translation of the text will not be perfect.

The frame of “Anlage” (3,60 * 2,40 mt.) it is an open structure in wood, fixed on sturdy legs with wheels to allow an easy access to the side and rear areas

The basic idea, given the small size of the room, is to reproduce an area where two sections of lines placed on two different levels are grouped / split near a medium size main station. In practice the structure will have to reproduce a kind of sub-urban periphery.

The “modelbahn-anlage” consists of a single line running through several levels (5), it starts in a hidden station located at the level zero, meeting the double track to create the effect of a larger number of moving convoys.

I'm using Roco “flexgleise / weichen” as armament in hidden areas, and Tillig “flexgleise / weichen” in visible parts. In the hidden lines, as a reference to minimum bending radius, I based on the Roco R5. In plain sight areas the minimum bending radius is about 130/140 cm.
All the “anlage “equipment will digitally work controlled by a Esu Ecos2 unit.

The following photos are the initial stages of construction, the laying of tracks, and the first parts of the landscape. Some photos were taken with the camera phone and the quality is not perfect.

I hope to find in the forum cooperation and pieces of advice, suggestions, constructive criticism in order to improve the work I'm doing.

A big greeting to all
Andrea

Andrea,

I've even looked at your photos. Your layout looks larger than it is. I'm very impressed of the water ,espacially the waterfalls, that you build. I hope you will stay in the forum and show your work in process.

I agree. Waterfall and river are very nice.
It is a noteworthy rail construction.
I´m curious, how it goes on.

WOW jolly good! The water is impressive! Looks like a huge layout, well layout doesn't really fit, it seems to be far to large to call it just a layout;)

[Tomcat13]

Thank you for the positive comments. Believe me when I say that it isn’t simple to build in the best way possible, a layaut of an administration different from the country where I live.
When I’ll have doubts, I hope you will help me solve them.
en: You can even write in GERMAN, with the help of Google-translate and my daughter who studies your language I think I can understand your messages.
As soon as I’ll have some time, will insert other images.

@ - steve1964 il tuo commento in italiano è quasi perfetto

Greeting from Italy
Andrea

L' acqua è bellisima, quasi perfetto.
Le altre parte sono interessante e anche hello.

Tanti saluti di Ulm

Hallo zusammen
I post new pictures of my "anlage" in construction, showing some small zones of the layout almost finished:

- Modification of the road bridge with the integration of urban pipes and its weathering.
- Intallation of grass / vegetation on the sides of the structure of the road bridge and the channel.
- The building of the square on the left side of the channel, where the square is located the barrack of the fireman (yet to finish and weathering in some parts).
- Realization of a small pumps plant for the water supply of the fire trucks, and a small dock for vessels in service.
- First draft of the small industrial area near the railway line.

Many little details to complete the set are still missing.

The last 9 photos show the different stages of construction / placement and its setting of a pair of low-rise buildings (combined in a single structure) to be used as a warehouse / office for the railway staff.

Currently the layout is in a construction phase more advanced than the photos published so far. I will try, as soon as possible, to add the missing pictures up to the current state of the work.

Thanks for your attention, best regards
Andrea

hello Andrea

i just fell over your introduction and it was a pleasure to look through all of it , really really good Pictures of a nice interesting layout and Details ,
my english is not the very best , so i apologise for my mistakes but my italian is much worther so i try this way
can you Show us a total view over all of your building ? it is hard to imagine how all of the small pieces become to one big Picture , so an panoramic view would make it easyier for all of us
my first idea when i saw your introduction was " Oh he is from Pisa , so what can go wrong ............?
and now i have to say " nothing went wrong "
good Job , Keep on building , i will follow you !

p.s. : lots of Volkswagens on your display , so nothing can go wrong !!!!!

ciao and glück auf , Rolf

[Stefan7]

Wow

Beim betrachten deiner Bilder, muss ich mir meinen Modellbau nochmals genau überdenken
Das ist das schönste, was ich seit langem gesehen habe, super gemacht.
Entspannte Gleisführung, unaufgeregte Gestaltung und handwerklich perfekt.

Ich bin sprachlos

Beste Grüße

[Andreas Poths]

ganz ganz ganz großes Kino

Hallo Andrea,
das ist mit das Beste, was hier in letzter Zeit an neuen Beiträgen zu sehen war.

Hier weiß jemand was er will und kann es absolut gekonnt in die Realität umsetzen. Selbst ohne den Text zu verstehen, sind die zu bestaunenden Bilder selbstredend.

Viele Grüße
Friedl

Hi Andrea,

thank you very much for sharing these pictures with us. What I especially like about layouts like this are the smooth curves in combination with a lot of nice details. Its just fitting perfectly, not to many tracks and buildings, just a harmonic mixture. Nice work!

Dem Ruf "Ruhmeshalle" schließe ich mich sehr gerne an!

[Tomcat13]

Hello zusammen,
thank you so much for the positive comments on my work, it is a stimulus to do better.

@aircooledrolf – It was very nice the sentence <”Oh he is from Pisa, so what can go wrong ............?> really and suitable. I post a few pictures with an overall view of the layout to give a general idea.

@eurofinder - I don’t have a gleisplan of the layout, only some sketches in pencil on a few pieces of paper that I can call project. I hope the photos of the whole can make the idea altogether.

@hajowolf -@HOer - "Ruhmeshalle" !!!! I was speechless !!!!!


I post new photos of the layout to update, as soon as possible, the images at present:

- The completion with ballast (Koemo) a double-track line on the right side and relative accessories.
- Scene florist’s stall
- Cement portal entrance single track line, with a warning light signal.

Best regards to all of you from Italy.
Andrea

Hello Andrea,

this is TOP!!! I like your pictures from your model train very much.
And I hope we'll see more.

[Tomcat13]

Hello everybody from Italy
I post a new set of photos illustrating a river boat turned into a beerhouse. I have to add only a few details to complete the scene.
I hope you like the pictures, if you see something that is out of place, do not hesitate to tell me.
Till the next update.

Greeting Andrea

[helvetio28]

Perfekt, unglaublich schön und detailliert.
Kann man stundenlang anschauen!
Beste Grüsse nach Italien!!
