Nystrup Gravel: Holiday!

Saturday, 30 June 2012

Holiday!

I have just painted the tires on my Ford lorry. Now relaxing and resting is on the agenda for the next two weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to sqeeze in a visit at an exiting narrow gauge railway during my vacation - and maybe even find inspiration for the next model?

Your blogger relaxing and reading a very mainstream American model railway magazine. Quite different from my favourite 'Narrow Gauge and Industrial Railway Modelling Review'!

I usually build a small model during my vacation and this year it'll probably be a few Scale Link skips or a tractor. I have a small drawing task as well: preparing a sketch of a closed speeder for Nystrup Gravel.

Wish you all a good vacation!

About Nystrup Gravel

Nystrup Gravel is a 1:19 scale model on 32 mm gauge track of a Danish gravel company with a 600 mm. railway. Lines from several gravel pits converged outside the small town of Nystrup before reaching the company’s sorting facility and loading ramp for lorries.

For the first 15 years Nystrup Gravel was in 1:35 scale on 16.5 mm gauge. In 2018-2019 the layout changed to 1:19 scale.

I model the company’s railway as it looked in the early fifties. I try to make up a believable setting for my railway models by researching the history of the company and its environments. This blog gives you the possibility to follow my work. Notice that Nystrup Gravel is fiction and that all history regarding the railway and company is my work and not real.
