The most entertaining part of this is the planning. And the first step is
imagination, you can dream a great model railroad. Which in my case ended (!) when
measuring the room and the space I can use for my layout and saw there was not
enough space for all my dreams.
After having drawn about 50 sketches, some having double decks, this is my
final decision; a railroad plan as simple as it can be, otherwise it will be a
never ending project for me. I think it is enough for a first layout. I may have
some small modifications while building but the general outline is this.
It is about 1.70m x 2.70m in size. I will use Rocoline with trackbeds. The
track lenght is about 13.70m.
*Agora; The public open space that
formed the heart of ancient Greek cities and it's the origin of
most western conceptions of public, or civil, space as center of
for social interaction for ceremony and democratic life on a
pedestrian scale.
09.02.2010 Today's Reading; URIEL REMOVED HIS helmet and tipped his head back, allowing
the rain to flow across his face, then spat a mouthful of water
into the mud. He slicked his short, black hair back as examined
the splintered remains of the temple doors, running his free
hand across the burnt timber and impacts of small arms fire.
He slid out his combat knife and dug the point of the weapon
into a small impact crater and worked the tip back and forth.
Something dropped from the wood into his hand and he lifted
it closer to his face. His cupped palm swam with rainwater,
but Uriel could clearly see a long splinter of jagged violet crystal.
There were scores of these embedded in the wall and, from
their grouping, Uriel could tell they had come from one shot.
The tactical briefings he had digested on the eldar had told
that they favoured weaponry that fired a hail of monomolecular,
razor-edged discs of metal. But there had been other
weapons, described as belonging to a darker sub-sect of these
aliens, which fired just this kind of ammunition.
What you must know ! This is a universe in which the gods, mysticism and magic are real. For this is a time of great change within humanity itself, a time when more and more humans are developing powers and a vision far beyond those of their ancestors. Humans developing these abilities are known as psychics, or psykers, and by many less flattering names - the most common being that of witch.
