If you missed this last night on CBS nightly news.. here is Elgin Park in the 1950's at 1/24th scale.

Marvelous models and lighting

Take a look at THESE photos by Andrew Qzmn of North Russia:



Nothing less than amazing. I'm going to do this in 1:24 as a birthday present for my wife! (Anyone got any guesses about dimensions?)

It's hard to say on dimensions as this is Russia.   However, if you were to use 8 feet for the main wall height, you would be pretty close.   You can then interpolate the rest of the structure from that.   Russian building standards were probably different than U.S. but would look OK.

Wow, what a beautiful and intricate structure! Looks like you'll need to do some laser cutting for all that fancy trim.

Those are wonderful photos Fred - would be a fascinating and I think challenging structure to build. There are some other very beautiful photos on his blog... well worth a look. This link has some excellent shots of a narrow-gauge brickworks electric railway... http://qzmn.livejournal.com/10820.html

Hi Paul,

some great photo's in that blog- really love bucket excavators and would love to model one at some stage- maybe if I live to be 100 I'll have time! There is a nice photo of an older one here from Steve Thomason's Industrial Narrow Gauge website and there are some real Heath Robinson style steam powered ones out there with huge modelling potential.



Steve's site is at

LOL that guys have a real bad week

Well, at least he didn't pay the fine...
The russian site is very interesting indeed, and the building you wish to build, Dave, is a little (not so little in fact) gem.
My friend Alexander Zelkin built an alaskan church erected by russian immigrants for his Sn3 layout. Some shapes were not so easy to do, he told me.

Here is something frome the bygone and bizarre.  Gotta love the brick pattern on the fenders.

Goofy, but interesting! 

"Sings and sells his own songs". I wonder who was the singer/songwriter?
