22.12.2005
My first try to build a Micron Art 1923 Model T
Z-Scale Truck. It’s a nice little truck for my "Needle Eye" layout. Just the
right time era. I used superglue to put it together and with some paint I think
it will look rely good.

Preperations for the Show in
Drammen 1-2october 2005!
Today all the tracks has been layed on the new module!
10.09.05
I am now making a new module so that I can expand my
layout with other zmod’s and future modules that I might make. The new module is
a T-module that only use the outer double track so that it will infact act as a
turn/end module for the ZMOD standard when I use all my “Needle Eye” modules
together on shows. I’m planning to make the new module so that it acts ass a
“block”? System. So that more that one train can safely travel on this layout
without crashing in to each other. This together with the two separate tracks on
my layout will increase the action censurably.
The next time I will show my layout will be at
“Modellmessen 2005” in Solberghallen, Drammen the 1-2nd off
October.

The Z-Scale show! 16-17 april-05 på Føyka stadion i Asker The weekend of 16-17 April 2005 our first only Z-Scale show took place in Asker. We got 3 new members with us this time that had built new ZMOD’s. They where not completely finished with scenery but it was a welcomed addition to our layout. In total there were 4 new modules. The total length off the layout was about 9meters with double track. After a few kinks in the start off the day we got it up and running with verius trains both European, Norwegian! and US material.

The portholes on one side of the mountain are now nearly finished.
22.03.05
Some more trees are being added to the layout. It takes some time to make the
trees, but I'm soon up to about 25+ off them. And it can begin to look like a
forest.
I
have also begun a new test project. It’s an attempt to make a “#2 Galloping
Goose”. I will se how It’s go with this in the future.
12.03.05
I have begun to make my forest now, a lot off trees are still to
be made before it can be called a real forest, but hey it’s a start..
A new double tunnel portal has also been made off Styrene and
wooden strips.
The mountain is beginning to take it’s final shape. And “Needle Eye” Mine and Milling Company is inn It’s early construction stage.
01.03.05
I have begun to build a new mountain on one of the "new" modules. It is gone be
hallow so that I can gain access to the tracks for maintenance and so on.
From the track bed to the top it's about 19"(50cm). I also
used aluminum mosquito net covered with newspaper before applying all the
plaster.
I have also started to make some new houses for the module. The bases of the houses are made from “Evergreen scale models” sheet styrene #2025 V-Groove. I paint them with Humbrol paint and Airbrush before adding some North Eastern wood for the frames and so on.
07.02.05
Painting the tracks with my airbrush. I
use Humbrol #62 rust color diluted with paint thinner.
Finishing
the

connections.

More bridges are under construction.
These bridges is going to be removable and connect the side track on the modules
together.
