Hi,
Two new comers for the roster. One is a mack and the other is a fiat. All are powered by a bachmann tram chassis at ho scale.
There's still some work to be done to Mexicanise the whole thing. There will be two versions of the Mac (Dr Schultz's Django and Los Polos Hermanos). The fiat will be a public transport

Hello Franck,
looking forward to seeing more of your projects.
a question: is the Peerless Light railcar meant to operate on the Mexican layout?

Hello Hillyard,
The peerless truck is a mack truck. I will have a common chassis with the motor and I will put onto it two different enclosed bodies according what I want to have. The peerless mention will be covered with the paint. One enclosed body will be branded as Doctor Schultz like in Django movie and the other one will be branded as los polos hermanos like in the breaking bad. It's not exact in timeline and geography, but I wanted to refer to the film and the TV series.

Hello,
I made some progress the last days. It's still not finished, the photos was done with the lighting and the rolling stocks.
I add the sands from 10 different sources, the grass from a variety of suppliers and also the cactus from a variety of suppliers too.
You will probably recognize a movie scene that are not in the theme but it's a tribute to this movie

Love it - especially the cacti! So many varieties, the saguaro definitely stand out as my favorites.

Hi,

I did 3 videos to share the mood of the layout.
