Thank's guys!
I have added a crew to it as well:
I got some crew figures from my wife this Christmas (among a lot of other modeling stuff).

| For sure, such a behemoth could get mad without a crew. Very nice work. |

I'm not a big camelback fan, but after seeing yours, Michael, I could become one. She's a beauty.

I can't keep myself from a little update from my layout....
I got a locomotive from my wife for Christmas, the latest locomotive from Bachmann, the 2-6-0 Mogul with the new basic sound decoder.
It has been a favorite locomotive type for a long time with me, but the previous locos on the market have left something to be desired .... 
The fact that it has now come in a very decent version is really good!
It's a very good engine, especially if you look at the price. My wife paid $120 including Shipping! Totally unbelievable!
Then I also happened to buy a loco on eBay.de....
It is also a locomotive which has been on the wish list for a long time, but has been a bit too expensive in my opinion.....
It's the Proto 2000/Brawa 0-6-0 in the "Heritage" series.
I got it by accident when I made an offer that just went thru..... sometimes it's good to buy on eBay during the holidays!
I bought it in the DC version and it was brand new in the box, so the first thing I did was put in a ESU LokSound decoder (wich lead to a change of lights and a need to rip out the circuit boards in the tender.....)
It is a fantastic fine running machine, and the amount of detail is very good!
So now I'll have to see when I get the time to finish and weather them ...... I have at least put some figures in the 0-6-0 locomotive.....

This is my first look at your layout. Holy $@%#! It's nice!!!
I had a change of Scale On mine. I'm going back to HO scale! It's what I started with, and I already have quite an inventory!
I just subscribed, and look very forward to what comes next for your brilliant layout!! |

I have been busy with the move to our new house and some other fun stuff, including an art show with RR art from Forum friend Troels Kirk.
I have had the time to make a first sketch of the new layout:
This is how I have planned it to look.
There will be some changes along the way though.... :-)
I have designed it to include my current layout along the left side.
The size is nice to fill with landscape. The room is 6.5 x 4.5 meters (22' x 15')
The possibility to have a decent sized harbour is really exciting!
Almost true to scale liberty ship maybe? :)
Comments very welcome!
