Maybe you can encourage a few more people over there to model British practice.
I must say that I know about three words in Spanish! My French is a little better - sufficient that I was able to use a French teacher's laptop with Windows in the French language. That may not help on Facebook though!!



Good luck with it in any case, Sergio.

I remember you posted some very interesting museum photos a while back of some restored rolling stock originally built in UK. :thumbs

Diesels haven't changed a great deal in appearance since 1930 so the initial design must have been about right. :roll:
I can imagine trains in Argentina are a bit like trains in Australia or the States - plenty of land to build your layout on therefore no need to "squash" things in although I'm not too sure I'd like to live on such a huge flat plain …………..presumably there are trees to break up the landscape …….. :roll:
I rather liked the following comment which probably says a lot about the decline of influence the British had on the World's railways following World War 2 :
"Pablo Marzilio El trabajo termina con este párrafo: "During World War Two and the following post-war years found Argentina under the sphere of influence of USA financial happenings, leading to the majority of locomotive purchases during the 1950's to come from a variety of American builders, orders received by Europe were very few."

…………………………………………..Chile does not count, ´cause it is so thin Chleans must sky in ther bathing suits)……………….




I'll bet that's a sight to behold ……………..:shock::shock::hmm
I reckon your mountain range alone is about 4 times the length of Great Britain but your population is only about 60% of UK - no wonder you have your wide open empty plains ………………….:roll::roll::roll: France is 4 times the size of UK and has a marginally larger population so, when you consider how much of Scotland, Wales and northern England is sparsely populated, no wonder UK seems so crowded.

I wanted to post them here, but it is too complicated.

your facebook forum looks pretty good. Muy Bueno!
Unfortunately I didn't make it to Argentina when I was in South America but I did explore the Railways in the other South American countries I traveled through. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to Argentina one day. Nice to see you have a big group who are modelling UK railways in Argentina.
Buena suerte con su forum.Hasta luego amigo

Agnes and I tend to do the same thing too, although we can only offer a fold-out double sofa bed. We do get a fair few visitors from interstate and overseas.
