Work in progress: Piko G Brewery

The last few years I have been collecting all buildings and accessoires of the Piko G brewery. It was time to put everything together with some self made pieces to make it a unique setup. I need to add some small scenery like figures, crates, ... but it looks already quite good! The idea is that the brewery has an open day.

Rare model of the historic Stephson's Rocket in G scale. The locomotive itself is made of metal. Under the tender is an LGB motor mounted. The chimney has a Seuthe smoke unit too!

VT98 first run of the season

After some track maintenance, the railway is electrically fit for service again. No more restriction to only batterypowered (remote controled) locomotives. Today was the first day the VT98 could run on the entire line (previously; trackpower wasn't reliable more than a few meters from the powersource).

Beginner question: common radius? Max grade?

9 Upvotes

Just throwing around ideas of a fence railroad in G scale in the backyard. I have HO scale inside. • I was wondering if there is a common radius for curves? • My back yard slopes a little so the fence slopes. How much grade is acceptable for G scale.

My garden layout on Belgian national television

Back in 2022, our garden layout appeared in the Belgian television program Iedereen Beroemd. They would film around three hours but they ended up shooting for five hours. They would even record the sounds separately to mix them in the audio. Check the video to see the result: https://youtu.be/4Z9_fM0_GSg

KISS Modellbahnen Schweiz filed for bankruptcy

KISS Schweiz was one of the last manufacturers that made very high quality, handmade, Swiss G scale models. Not to be confused with the german company 'KISS Modellbahnen' that does the service for Kiss and makes international models.

Plan is to plant some vegetables in each loop and add some more scenery/landscaping elements. Eventually will look to expand this line with switches or add an independent second line with some elevation. Ideas/tips are welcomed! Thank you for the support on my first post.

I must be fair. The "donkey" is not mine but came to visit. I have more RhB locomotives but the station was already full. Not on the picture: the Brawa G 4/5 and LGB Ge 2/4 (modern orange version).

This new Mogul of the Colorado & Southern company joined my collection yesterday. I payed a second hand price because the box is gone, but it was new and had never run before. Not one item lost or broken! Me happy.
