Hello, to another (we have several) friend from the Southern Half...hope your nowhere near the wet and muddy troubles. Before I go looking too far, is this * Trolley Rail. ...what you're after as a cross section? I'm fairly sure someone makes rail like this, and probably track components, but...

Hello, again, Kooklik ! The choo-choo guy - still following and still marveling at your meticulous masterpiece ! Thanks for amazing us with what is possible with an abundance of thoughtful and thorough design work, and dedication to careful construction. Such a project - from concept through...

Loch, Welcome...and congratulations for maintaining such a broad range of modeling interests. I'm sure you'll find inspiration and opportunities to return it to others in many specialties here at the "Z". Honored to have you with us. Bob C.

sipari, I really enjoy your "Trash-Tanks"! You are very creative in your sourcing and use of materials, and most artistic in the creation of these whimsical military creations. Thanks for showing us your work, and the "How-to-Do-It." Wish I could borrow your creative brains for "Trash-Trains"...

Welcome, Joe, to the "Z"...some fine looking work there...Special Suppliers from "OZ", or examples of excellent Down-Under Craftsmanship...or BOTH ?! Glad to have you with us ! Bob C. from PaUSA

Ken, Hi...Just dug out an old link to "help", (am trying to get time and concentration to learn this myself), given to me by someone else. http://www.xtrkcad.org/Wikka/HomePage It's simple...maybe too much for some, but I think you will find an answer. Then, later, I'll come ask you, "How you...

Thanks for the pics, Padre ! What a great way to spend a day...last time I saw any number of these wonderfully loved and cared for beasts was the Confederate AF at Latrobe, Pa. years ago. What an exhibition. Thanks for sharing...now will you fold up a Lib, complete with interior, for us ??? Bob C.

Just a shot in the dark..."Attilastol"- bottom right watermark(?), translates as Hungarian (Google - not my smartswall1). Anyone else around from (Eastern) Europe who might enlighten us further? Bob C.

Jules, thanks for displaying the wonderful results of your creative energy! As an infrequent visitor, I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon "the Novel", marveled at the product of your imagination and it's quality, and can understand, but still regret it's termination. I'm certainly hoping for...

Hi-T, beautiful work! While not a paper-craftsman, I visit occasionally from the Train section - and am duly impressed with this display, unlike any I've run across here before. No matter the scale (thought it between HO and N ?), the work on both the paper parts and the base (scenery) is...

Bill...excellent rendering of a "real" structure in a tiNy scale...I don't think I could even SEE to scratch at 160:1 ! ...and where did you source that "Insul Brick" sheathing - really fine work, thanks for letting us see. Bob C.

Rick, the thread on the 1/25th scale "Big Boy" by kooklik shows track he built...perhaps he would assist you with your project needs. His work is amazing, if you haven't already noticed. Bob C.

OK, wasn't sure of time either (your Grand Dad's 1880's logging railroads were very different)...and the BCR reference threw me, (tho' we have some fantastic Canadian modelers here). Hows this for a start:http://www.brian894x4.com/AbandonedRRmainpage.html ...for info on your area of interest...

Thanks, T. Took a few minutes to take a look...a vein worth mining...WOW, wish I could work that FAST ! :eek: Bob C.

Welcome, SSGT; Thanks for being where you are, doing what you must, and hope you're back safe and soon. Though you didn't specify, I'm guessing HO: ...and this is the car (in the correct 1980's paint/logo?). OOPS, you didn't mean the 1880's, did ya ? More questions !!! I'm just a Pa. boy, but...

Mike; You seem to have made up for any deficiencies in the kit with your skill and craftsmanship. It's a beautiful model of which you must be proud. Thanks for letting us all see the results of your labor and patience ! Bob C.

From the Wiki pic, it looks like a simple scratch/bash project - perhaps not a commercial product (AFAIK) because of simplicity, limited demand, low profit/cost considerations ? Get out the plastic/wire rods, paint supplies and go to it ! :thumb: Bob C.

OK, the least qualified to comment gets 1st go at it ! Brass locomotives are the most detailed models, fabricated with sheet, bar and castings by skilled workers in limited numbers. The types and details can be very prototype-specific in shape, structure and equipment, so each will be a very...

TEP 60, My GUESS is this is one of those "Comemorative Special Edition" deals sold by mail order (or EvilBay - $149.95 Buy-it-Now). The engine and cars have prototypes, but not as decorated here. Choice is yours - lottsa folks like these items...but it probably didn't "run" any route, or even...

Davo...Welcome ! Always glad to see a new member from the land where they model better upside down than I do right side up ! The work I've seen from your neighbors and countrymen has been inspiring (tho I'd like to see more Aus. train modelwork). ...and don't take Ekuth too seriously - I've got...
