I cleares up my workshop this weekend. After 5 hours of work, I have room to finish my On30-Layout and to start some new models.

My work can be seen in the "logging line". I've modeled the ground on my On30-layout.

Sorry, a day later than announced.. but here are the new pictures.

Great work :-) I'll use them to modell the Santacruz Lumber Co. some day. At the moment, I'm still waiting for the Atals Shay....

Hello all, I've spend some time on my layout this weekend. The landscape is neraly finished and I've to wait until the gule is dry... I'll post pictures later this day. Next will be the figures and some animals for my layout. They will be all painted by hand.

Hello all, I'Ve finished my handlaid track on my On30-Layout. This week, I'll try to color them and I'll add some turntable-details. Gerd

Hi, I've nailed the moving stubrails very strong to the tie. So you need some pressure throw the switch to the other position. I've put a small nail on the outside of both positions to set the maximum way to slip the rails. Gerd PS.: The turntable is now shown in my "Melina's-Camp"-thread...

Their are some reasons, why I've build the table with 6" diameter : 1. I can't use a bigger engine... The biggest will be the shay or maby some scratchbuild models. 2. This version was the biggest one, that I can mill on my cnc-maschine.

Hello, you want to see more :-) Great.... Here is the turntable. Some details are still missing, but I'll add them next week. http://www.us-waldbahnen.de/On30/Anlage/turntable_e.htm

Hi, to get a coal-burner, remove the oiltank or fire wood an replace it with coal load. By using coal, you will have less sparks, so you can use a straight smokestack. That are my ideas, Gerd
