M ore than a railway diorama is a display of a machine to train on a pedestal, but with enough elements on the ground and to make it more spectacular.
The issue was to use a portion of a H0-scale electric train for lack of space and time was relegated to the corner of the stuff but had a high sentimental value, a way to continue having it in sight but yes with the aggravation of not being able to play with him.
The diorama is intended to represent an end-of-way where some technicians performing maintenance, details of the land are manufactured in house and not wanting to take prominence as the machine is the main piece.
The base is a sheet of plywood of 10 mm on it are held in the section of track and an end cap made of wood with some details such as: brake caps made with two nails and a pen spring and some steps which are really nailing staples medium.
Before starting dyed the base decorated with a dark varnish, so that it stands after the arena floor.
Once the top track and the base painted with white glue all the free surface and sprinkle with river sand to stay and get stuck and the effect of gravel floor.
vegetation - low to avoid overloading, consists of pieces of sponge, dyed and old brush hairs stuck on a fine drill to create appearance of shrubs.
And some parts of watches and toys scattered on the floor seem to be repaired or discarded pieces of the train.
This last image is best seen some details decoration.
The base is fastened onto a wooden pedestal with milled edges and stained to suit the end user.
To attach the machine to the diorama I made a hole between the rails of the road so that passing a thin wire, embraces the wheel axles and tied below the wood, the wire is hidden between the base and pedestal, so I prepare before a recess in the wood that did not interfere when the wire assembly.
The base is attached to the pedestal with four screws at the bottom with enough length to which does not cross and its corresponding countersunk to be hidden and do not interfere to put the piece in its prominent exposure.
And to finish the job methacrylate urn commissioned a glazier, but I have her image as the flash bounces and does not look good.
---- simple, pretty, cheap and satisfying ---
