The headline may promise more that this post deliver. But this week saw me finally getting the foundation for my 1/87 scale diorama started. The base plate from plywood had been cut in January and it is now reinforced by a wooden frame to keep it straight and level.

| My Soviet diorama looks flat and uniteresting in comparison withe the huge model of Østerport Station in H0 in the background. The model is on temporary storage during the relocation of the Aarsleff Rail Copenhagen office where it usually resides. We don't quite trust movers... |
The diorama is an ambitious project as it will be my first attempt at showing three gauges in such a small setting - and the first ever, to be honest. There will be a broad-gauge track running on an embankment in the background and 600 and 750 mm track on the main level in the foreground.
The diorama is planned to be an expanded 'photo plank' to show off my growing collection of Soviet narrow-gauge models. It measures 85x35 cm. Hopefully I will be able to squeeze in an industrial building or two, a concrete plated road area and the characteristic concrete fence and overhead steam pipes so well-known from the Soviet Union.
