Below are photos of my HO layout
|
I am building an HO scale layout at home (inside the flat). The basic idea came thru my
travelling in Southern California starting from 1974 up to 2005. Within these 30
years, my favourite place became Cajon Pass and the Mojave Desert. It should
reflect the modern era. I am very strong inspired by the fantastic layout of
Pelle K. Soeborg (Denmark): Mountain to Desert. Pelle is really a master
model builder, especially the town of Danneville which looks like Mojave, CA. |

| Below are photos of Werner Enterprises Trucks in HO Scale |
| Special thanks to Pitsch Allneider, a good friend of mine, who started 'my own trucking company': Werner Enterprises in HO scale. I decided to add WE on my future layout because my first name is Werner. The first models made by Pitsch are on this display below - take a look ! ! ! |
