A Visit With Troels Kirk
Fantastic pictures of the model railroad track of Troels Kirk. He is a great artist, not only in scratch building but also his paintings are beautyful. After follow already a long time the Troels model railroad via Facebook and Youtube I discovered multiple new pictures in this overview. Thanks for sharing this great story of your visit in Sweden.
The Denver, Durango & Silverton Railroad
As I promised some weeks ago, I am posting an account of my visit with Troels Kirk on a recent trip to Sweden.
Troels lives in a small village not far from my Swedish cousin, and he graciously received us at his home on Thursday, July 9th. The thrill I got from spending an hour or so with Troels must be somewhat equivalent to the excitement felt by modelers who visited the famous John Allen during the 1970’s. I was also reminded of the afternoon I spent with the late Paul Scoles in Seattle in 2013.
Troels beautiful layout, the Coast Line RR, housed in a small out-building, was everything I expected it to be.
Despite living in Europe, he has captured the feel of the Maine seacoast in the 1930’s to perfection. An additional attraction for me is that Troels models in the same scale that I do, On30.

Heb het originele verslag even gelezen, wat een geweldige modelbouwer en kunstenaar is die Troels Kirk. Er zal vast een keer een stuk over zijn modelbaan hebben gestaan in de bekende tijdschriften?
