Earlier this year I went through a change in my marital status, my residence and my employment status, and now that my life seems to have settled down a bit it seems that I have more time again to indulge in modelling the railways of Vietnam.
During the time since my last blogg I visited Việt Nam for the third time and took more photos which I will I'm sure find useful in modelling.
As far as my DSVN module is concerned, the plans now call for it to become an actual operating layout with an extension already being built to house a station building (Ga) and two end sections planned to bring the mainline around to the back and a planned 'fiddle' yard. I plan to have a Bhuddist Pagoda on one of the end sections and farms/rural scenes on the other. Below is a plan of what I hope the layout will look like. The plan will probably change quite a bit, but at last I have something on paper. The section with the engine shed is the original diorama.
Of course the plan has always been to display the module, and with the extensions this now becomes an operating layout to be presented to the public at some stage.
There's still a lot to do but at least the project is 'moving forward' as our business people and politicians like to say.
I'll try to put up some photos in the next blogg. I'll also be getting back to updating the 'Modelling the Railways of Vietnam' website as soon as possible.
Until next time.......
