The bestest ever train video. Download it, stick it at your TV and crank up the sound. AWESOME!

The two scenes from 2:18 are especially genius.

I salute you Mr. Bond.

     

  A close second - snow ploughing, Kiwi styles.

There's some very very nice Sn3.5 and 9mil NZR sites out there to be admired too. Don't be over-awed by the incredible detail and craftmanship you see - use them for great inspiration and guidance for getting that NZR "look".

Modelling the Dream - Grant Morell's site. NZR, in 64th scale, including THE most fabulous scenic work you will ever see in your life - the Kerosene Creek layout. Wow! Not a big fan of bush/logging type layouts but this just blew me away first time I saw it in the flesh. And still it is being improved as time permits! Check it out at model rail conventions. Amazing.
