The Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Making A Simple Turntable

I have made this turntable is made out of a cheap dollar store lazy susan. A one mill peace of plastic card is cut into a circle and laid on top of the lazy susan. Then a peace of track is carefully laid in the middle of the turntable.

Here my DSC Chassis is testing the
turntable out.

Some great finds at Oaro, it would be good to model it!

My Layout

My Layout:

Here are some photos of my NZR loop layout.

                              Above is a close up photo of an old match box car
                              that has been push into a swamp. The swamp is
                              made out of Dirt, Plaster of Paris and Brown Paint.
                              Then lichen, Woodland Scenics small bushes and
                              coloured fibers (made in to grasses and fax)
                              were applied with PVA around the swamp.

Here I have started to apply trees.

This is my hill in the far left hand corner of the
layout.
