 | 11th January 2009 | Ninove Terminus
These are all pictures of my Nm-scale layout 'Ninove Terminus'. It's about 150cm in length and 30cm wide. It depicts the tramway terminal in the 1950's at the side of the Dender in Ninove, Belgium. Both the tramway-line Brussels-Ninove and Leerbeek-Ninove had their terminal here. Today the tramway is gone (serive stopped at the end of the 1960s) and a lot of the buildings are eider gone or altered.

New pictures of my layout.
A few things have changed since I last took pictures:
• Background: The old one was painted way to rough. It actually drew the attention away from the foreground. I've painted a new one that's much softer. Also I made it much lighter.
• I've put a skyline behind the houses, this to suggest the rest of the town. It's just contours cut out of grey paper. This trick was used on a French layout I saw some time ago and I think it works rather well even if it's a simple solution.
• Details: Streetlights from brass leftovers, The poles of the airline now have their typical concrete baseblocks. Here and there I've put very small pieces of colourful adhesive paper to suggest posters and enamel plates. The drainpipes in the riverbank now have a more realistic colour.
• New trams !!! I've completely rebuild my trams. And added a ART.300. 3 of these heavy-duty trams were built when the Belgian tramways were already disappearing. It had a more modern bodywork with rounded corners and a completely revised roof-mounted cooling system. The AR and Standard have much more details then their predecessers.
