Since I have no room yet for the complete layout but do not want to wait any longer with building something I decided to start with little modules. The modules do not require a lot of space but allow me to build something and work on my building skills.
The first module is the old coal mine. While cataloging all my old railway items I came across the old coal mine. Completely taken apart and even modified to serve another purpose. I decided to rebuild it and turn in to one of the themes of the Hope & Loos Railway Company. I took photographs of the process and will share with you how I rebuild it. You can find the track plan under Topics and of course under Track as part of the complete layout.
Mesa forest is the entry area to the coal mine of Swartz & Digger and the wood processing company Treetopple Lumber Company.
This module contains the turntable and the polygonal locomotive shed. The shed will be build from scratch.
The tracks leading to the bridges crossing the Froth Clough.
In a part of a garden pot plant which died I saw a nice old tree for the HnL layout.
