US-rails

We are members of a very informal round-robin club we call the US-rails. This is a group of eleven men sharing an interest in US-prototype an model railroads. Most of us models in HO-scale, two build layouts in N and some even dabbles in more than on scale. I think almost every scale from Z to G and even larger are represented. Some of the members have operational layouts while other of us are building layouts.

In February 2005 the gang came over and helped me build the first six sections of the layout. I had done some preperation making “section-kits”, but with the help the sections came up fast.

Our oldest member, Thomas Langballe, who has served as the chairman of the Model Railway Assosiation in Norway, and also as the editor of their magazine, had brought with him his newest BLI sound-equipped B&O switcher which he wanted to test that day.

While I was busy hooking up my Digitrax Big Boy (the man to the right in the photo – Thomas to the left), the others found some flextrack and laid a long testtrack.

And as you see, he was quite pleased with what he heared and saw.
