 26.09.2018 It's autumn already. The outside temperature went down by a lot and there's no denying, the garden season is over. It's time to go back to indoor activities. In my case this means working on my new… |
 22.08.2018 The product I'm going to write about today is definitely the deal of the year. For less than 300 Euro, Trix has decided to provide us with a complete digital starter pack. And it not only includes a… |
 05.08.2018 When I shop for models of trains online, I often run into a situation where I need to add something extra to my cart to qualify for free shipping. Sometimes it's a good moment to buy something I… |
 06.05.2018 Today's post is not going to be related to trains at all. I'm going to write about my work on a model of a boat. I got the kit as a Christmas gift over five months ago. No, it was not put on a shelf… |
 24.04.2018 My "coffee table N-scale layout" project is not really moving forward very much. It got warm outside and the time is now right to focus on my garden railway. Still, I do not mind making small steps… |
 18.03.2018 Both my wife and I are huge fans of The Crown TV series on Netflix. The first two seasons were great and we hope to see more in the future. One thing that caught my attention in this show, were the… |
 08.03.2018 I'll spoil it right away. This post is not going to end with a spectacular success. But it's not going to be a complete failure, either. So while it's not a recipe everyone should blindly follow, it… |
 17.02.2018 I was in need of some old, useless wagon to realize an idea that required a functional N-scale chassis. Turns out buying such item cheaply in Poland is a considerable challenge and I had to order one… |
 09.02.2018 I needed a small project to fill up the evenings during a winter break trip with my family. The project had to be compact, so I wouldn't have to carry too much with me. And it had to be fun, so I… |
 29.01.2018 Definitely the thing I hate most in my life is visiting my dentist. But not very far behind is going shopping to the Ikea store. The maze of small rooms designed to force you to look at their entire… |
 14.01.2018 Converting Tomix cleaning car to DCC control is not really a big deal. A lot of people have done it, and many of them have shown their results on the Internet. I'm joining the club now. My conversion… |
 22.12.2017 When I purchased my Kato Portram model, I've bought some N-scale passenger figures along with it. That was over two years ago. It's really about time I installed those :)
The passengers figures I… |
 04.12.2017 Building models made of card stock or cardboard is very popular. People create amazing things using these simple materials. I've decided to try it myself, too, but since I have no interest in ships… |
 06.11.2017 During my "adventures" with the Brawa locomotive it has been suggested to me that my N-scale layout track was dirty. Of course it was not but I've come up with a plan to do something about this… |
 23.10.2017 Here is my second souvenir from my last visit to the United States that I promised to review. Athearn model of an American steam locomotive nicknamed "Big Boy". The original engine is 40 meters long… |
 22.09.2017 This is blog post #100. It's difficult to believe but I have actually written that many articles already. It took almost two and a half year and consumed a significant portion of my time. Hope… |
 20.07.2017 It must be clear by now to anyone reading my blog that I simply love nice-looking, colourful models. It's also clear that I could really care a little bit more about realism. But that's who I am and… |
 18.02.2017 The only really popular train modelling scale in Poland is H0. No wonder the manufacturers are not tempted to release any Polish State Railways rolling stock for other systems. One notable exception… |
 28.01.2017 I sometimes wonder how it came to be that miniature worlds are mostly about motorized trains. I personally wouldn't mind having my layout oriented around city streets and moving cars. But the market… |
 09.01.2017 I have previously purchased, reviewed and used a rolling road for my G-Scale models. It's a very useful product, especially for someone who tries to run a train models blog. But of course my webpage… |
 07.12.2016 I love traveling. And I really appreciate the fact that my job requires me to visit different places from time to time. It's pure fun unless the journey is almost as long as the stay. Then it's good… |
 31.10.2016 Dapol is a company very well-known in the UK and... probably nowhere else. It produces a large selection of rolling stock in different scales and their focus is mostly on British trains. The only… |
 07.03.2016 I have received the set shown below around two months ago. Once I saw how small the elements were I got scared and decided to postpone the installation. But finally I've gathered enough courage and… |
 29.02.2016 Buying rail-road models in the US is an interesting experience. In Europe, when a product is released you can usually expect it to be available on the market for a long, long period. So at any point… |
 16.02.2016 My collection of N-Scale rolling stock has been in desperate need of a modern looking railcar. I really wanted to buy one of the Kato's Shinkansens bullet trains but the company's dislike for full… |
 10.02.2016 I've been meaning to do this for a long time now. To buy some American N-scale rolling stock and see how it compares to what we have available in Europe. An opportunity arose last month when I went… |
![Difficult installation of a vinyl grass mat [update]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKBoIK3Pjdod1rLMENMtHy9XQyD_qzSAqobQ_z3NbgCA9DAuX-BzLhba2zO6jLpB5qsn9UhPdov6MrahZEWuN3ZbtMefFjiYkjIuFSd7zwYhPGZl1-pkIbqIeC7eXvyxaXcJrzgpq8nrK0/s72-c/DSC_2803.JPG) 22.12.2015 Unfortunately only two weeks after I have installed the vinyl grass mat (described here), I've decided to tear it down. I was too unhappy with the results of my work...
I've found several problem… |
 08.12.2015 A few months back I wrote an article about my second N-scale layout which I use as a base for my DCC experiments. This layout by definition was supposed to be just a test track, and therefore I was… |
 17.10.2015 And so it happened. I've bought my first Kato engine. I've been hesitating to do it for a very long time due to my love to DCC and Kato's lack of REAL support for this technology. But I needed… |
 05.07.2015 My first N-scale layout is something I'm very proud of. I love the way it looks and the time I spent working on it allowed me to try many different methods useful in my hobby.
The Korfantów… |
 17.05.2015 I've been trying to put interior lighting into my N-scale passenger cars for some time now. Of course I could have used kits prepared by the well known companies but I did not like that idea that… |
 10.05.2015 Layout builders usually try to create something that looks realistic. And by "realistic" they don't mean just fitting in the terms of scale or common sense. They also try to present a specific place… |
 12.04.2015 I remember very well that the moment I bought my first N-scale coach, I immediately thought: I have to have some light inside it. I've been trying to get that since then, applying several different… |
 06.04.2015 I'm a huge, huge fan of the Kato N-scale Unitrack. I used it exclusively for my second layout and I'm very happy with it. It's relatively cheap (when bought on Ebay), works well and looks good… |
