South American Model Railroad
Andre from Brazil sent in these photos of his railroad.
Says Andre: We have started our first HO layout. I and my girlfriend used Brazilian made material, like 3 of 4 locos and almost all wagons, tracks and buildings. Most of that is made by Frateschi.
There are also a loco made by Rocco and a lot of Faller and Noch stuff, and some old Majorette vehicles from the eighties.
In my figures the layout has 40 meters of track in 7 square meters. We have not put the ballast yet. We are afraid of some eventual damage to the tracks.
We’ve planned a savanna and mountain scenery, like our state (Roraima – Brazil) in the northern frontier, near Venezuela and Guyanna. It’s the land of the “Up” animation movie (2009).
So, our layout presents a fictional railway crossing a part of Amazonia and Gran Sabana.

When will sound chips come down by at least 50pc. Surely the trade can see how many model railway shops are closing down across the country,or how many people have stopped going the there local shop. Mike
