Railway Modelling

Railway modelling is a hobby in which rail transport system are modelled at a reduced scale.The scale  models include locomotives, rolling stock, streetcars, roads, buildings, vehicles, model figures, lights and features such as streams, hills and calyons.

Railway modelling first started in countries such as German and Australia. Later,as a hobby all over the world have been started. Railway modelling the meaning of a real train,wagon,figures or locomotive in accordance with a certain scale downsizing of its origin.

And now some talk about scales. Model trains in general,1/87 scale in used. This mean that,a real train means that 87 fold reduction.

What is DIORAMA ?
Diorama is a scene,often in miniature,reproduced in three-dimensions by placing objects,figures,etc. , in front of a painted background.
Now,let's look at the basic material used to make a train diorama.

Firstly, we will draw our diorama plan or sketch.

Secondly,we will need a ground or table for establish to diorama.

We will purchased styrofoam for paste on the ground.

We can wrap with synthetic grass on the ground. If you want a rugged ground,you will use polyurethane foam.






We prepared the ground. We covered the ground on the grass. Now let's look at the we have the basic materials for a train diaroma.
