Hello,
My Sidi Fontana layout is nearly finished so it's time for me to create a new one.
I want to reproduce a Sugar cane railways in Egypt at oo9 scale. It's a real 2 feet gauge built by french and english in 19 th century and still used today. The train is used for 50 % of the cane sugar in Egypt.

.
I will reproduce a part of a sugar cane refinery near luxor with his harbour and crane. The locomotives and the rolling stock don't exist and my friend Jean-Pierre Duval will do this with 3d printings.
This is the mock up

It will be fun to watch your progress. -- Russ
Cool project!
Something new and different! Looking forward to it!
My friend Jean-Pierre DUVAL has already draw the FAUR HAWAMDIA locomotive in 3d.

I add the backdrop in order to see if the composition is correct. I will leave the scene like few days in order analyze it and then to do some minor changes. The crane will be on pillars, I will add space between tanks and perhaps I will reduce the height of the tanks. I don't know how to fill the left corner of the layout.

I love these dioramas. Will follow with great anticipation.

Great start!
Thank you for your post.
I make some progress. I refine the scene composition. I reduce the height of the 3 tanks also.

All the storage tanks are in groups of three. Why not remove one small tank on the far right for variety? Also, maybe move the crane and dock a little to the left so it won't be right in the center of the scene. What do you think? -- Russ

Hi Russ,
Thank you for yours constructive remarks. For the storage, I will change the numbers. For the position of the crane I have already in mind to move it in order to avoid the center ;)
I add few the details and vehicles and figures.

Looking good!
My friend Jean-Pierre Duval has finished to model one of the locos and the rolling stock

My friend Jean-Pierre Duval has started to model also a schoma in 3d on a plymouth chassie.

The details are making it look better and better.
My Friend Jean-Pierre Printed the 3 different locos and the rolling stock as a test. We need only to print it in the right resolution and in the good direction to optimize the print.

Good start. I hope the final prints will be satisfactory. -- Russ
Those will look good if they are printed as you hope.
Very nice!
