Would like to know where I got it from. Unfortunately , I did not put it in a layout (name) folder or in the file name. Stunning. SOooo real. Would like a 1280x1024 size for my desktop.
That belong to Svein-Martin Holt (Norway). Take a look here: http://www.platelayer.com/mj/zmod/saguaro/index.asp Heine
Yeah, I've visited Svein-Martins Website often in the past. At the moment I think he's busy because no new progress of the fantastic module. He also has a great video to watch.
He has just been one month rail fanning in the US. Maybe he now got some new inspiration Look at his webblogg here http://smholt.wordpress.com/ PS: Typical picture off him filming his layout.
Last month I just found out that his Val-Ease-Central layout as become a permanent collection of Exporail – The Canadian Railroad Museum http://www.exporail.org/association/contact_ang.htm Imagine my excitement. Even the museum I did not know of its existence, And It is just 8 miles from my home, shame on me! So I when to see it as soon as I had finish reading in Model Railroader the news about this layout. Problem is, the museum does not operate the layout, it is in a large layout room and they don't allow people near it, even if it is encase in a large Plexiglas box. They only open the doors once per year, during a miniature week-end. And during this week-end they only light the welding effect in the loco maintenance building, no loco is moving, everything is flat static’s. Z-scale is really not popular in Canada (just look at the clubs available), the museum is great and all, but regarding Z and the way they exhibit their Val-Ease-Central, well it sucks big time.
That is too bay animek. but take a look at some pic`s from VECRR taken by Svein- Martin http://www.platelayer.com/tour/eurospoor2003/index.htm
Val Ease Central RR Animek, You should drop Jeffrey MacHan a line. He is always willing to share with Z scalers and lives in the Montreal suburbs now I believe. There are a few other z scalers in that area as well. He has been one of the prime movers of Z scale for a number of years. Randy
Thanks everyone. Had his modules and layout in my IE Favorites but not the pictures. Always good to have all the Z scale layouts organized and on the USB "thumb" drive (Flash) so you can always show everyone. Torsja's periodic pictures with a finger in it are a good perspective to Z, as is the photo below with Svein-Martin. I love the long modules but I really like the long modules with the 45 bend on the end, forming a square. Really nice.
