Today my model railway was visited by a C3 MK3 and Aircross.

Hi Beenee,

Nice... are they OO scale , like the railway ?
Great to see a fellow model railway enthusiast too , the diecast Citroens look good :)
I have just started my Swiss HO layout, with a Swiss SBB Cargo theme, still a very long way to go though !
Yours looks almost finished.

Cheers
Steve

They aren't true to 00 gauge as that is 1/76 and they are 1/64.
Your layout looks excellent. How big is it.

Ah yes, posed on their own without the 1/76 models they look good, otherwise the scale would really show.
Similarly my HO stuff is 1/87, so while I do use some 1/76 items, I am careful about what and where they are placed.

Really its very much a work in progress, DCC with sound and a Swiss Cargo depot to display my collection of Cargo locos.
Only around 10 foot by 2 foot, end to end affair. The depot will be served by an on scene traverser, so no points but I intend to have it highly detailed.
The depot complex will be a part scratch / kit bashed modern building, which i am enjoying constructing.
I only retired last year and recently moved house, so with the DIY ( or DYI ) I haven't much time at moment, no idea how I managed to fit work in to be honest !
Essential tho, to have a hobby..and a good imagination :D
Will be several years before its anywhere near as complete as yours Beenee !
