"Svingen" hits the press

Mj-Bladet (The Model Railway Magazine) is the only model railway magazine published in Norway. The publisher is MjF, The Norwegian Model Railway Association, and is issued 4 times a year. Members automatically receives the issueas as 'subscribers', but the magazine can be bought in model railway shops too. Today I received 'the Christmas issue' and was delighted to see that my small 'Christmas Pizza layout' made it to the cover:

Inside the magazine it's a 5 page article about how I made this micro layout in 6 evenings. The article it's a translated and updated version of my blog-post about it:

So if you're here because you followed the link in the article you are most welcome. I hope you'll find something interesting on this blog. 

There was also another very interesting article in this issue about a German WW2 H0 scale layout located to the Balkans. It's constructed as a exhibition layout, and I really hope to see it at a model railway exhibition. If I do, I'll make a blogpost on it.

Earlier this week my wife was tidying up some old stuff. She found a similar but smaller table she was not going to use anymore, which she handed over to me. Time will show what I'll eventually going to use it for. Please follow this blog and find out.

I enjoyed a cup of coffee while reading this interesting issue of Mj-Bladet and had a good time in my favorite chair.

    1. Thank you very much Alan. Planning it is half the fun. The overall diameter is only some 37cm.
