Yesterday we finally met Kaustav, the prolific N-Gauge Railroad Modeller, and his wife who is equally involved in the project. For those who don’t know, N-Gauge is modelling in ratio of 1:160. We had to brave rain and floods, but were undeterred in our mission to see the Harbour layout he was building. Seeing pictures was one thing, but being a Railroad Modeller (I model in OO Gauge i.e. 1:76) myself, I had to see it in its entirety; scenery and trains above and the electrical wiring below. Oh and it was so worth it. What I had told my wife would be a brief visit turned out to be a long evening spent at his place.
Long discussions on whys and how’s and then running the trains on the layout was such an enriching experience. Finally before we left, I had to capture some photographs and so I did. I could have spent an eternity there shooting away. Well I’m not going to say much more and let you’ll have a look at what got me all excited.
Believe me, the photographs don't do justice to the actual layout being built.
Thanks so much for coming, Rohit... it was really a great evening and a lot of fun... it was wonerful to meet a model railroader in person and just talk about railroading, rather than browsing through blogs, facebook pages and websites! 5 hours indeed seemed too less... :D
