Ron, very good looking trees. Really old oaks! Very good done !!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: I think that you must avoid a laterly bent of limbs. Or did you use a flexible plaster for caoting of wood? However I do not know such a plaster, or? Bernhard

Here I will show the progress of a friends railroad museum built on a modular layout. My friend and I are living in Dresden/Germany and we are members of a big US modeling community in area. In good times 25 US rr friends meet to special events. The next event will be a big model railroad...

A short time ago I built for my friend's planed rr-museum a light barrier. Here a short description of progress. Material for posts is brass 1/8" diameter. These two samples of posts are turned with a small drilling machine using files and a juweller saw. You should try to use a small...

Very excellent datails!!! Are these solid enough when you made them from plastic? I live your fine detailing also if is not made from wood. Bernhard

Looks very well !!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Is the single spring correct for these trucks? Let see the progress. Best greetings here from Dresden to you. Bernhard

A barrier for museum Museum grows. Last test for a barrier; checking distance of pillars and length of chains. Bernhard

Wonderful pictures!!! Because I did not see them before? I know, I'm overemphasized to Sratchin' and Bashin' - my problem. Wayne, one of best picture series that I have seen. Excellent pictures, excellent description and a wonderful and helpful link collection. I wish all of us your...

stdguage, a very nice idea and a really impressed modeling plan. I think I know such a coal trestle but I think also that it is not with a sand house. I will check my plans if I have copied it and than I will find a way for sending copies to you. Building such a facility near to 1900 will not...

Ron, do you work in HO or O-scale? I think it is HO-scale. My intention to your work with a really good start is that you should use industrial made stripwood and in this case I would you advise that NorthEastern scale wood will be the best way. NorthEastern stripwood has sometimes small...

Andrew, thank you very much for your mean that I could change an original drawing to a craftsman kit. However what is the speciality of such a craftsman kit? I think this are a few drawings showing different sides, a step by step description and bundles of stripwood - and most a few detail...

Michael, it's great! Sorry I can't write others because I'm missing the rigth words with my liited English. Congratulation and I hope for many pictures in next steps of progress.

Bill, thanks for your post. When I have a good occasion in connection with next descriptions than I will make a few comments to materials which I use. I think there are a few differents however both stripwood maker, NorthEastern and Kappler have their specifics.

nkp174, very rare details - couplers with a working spring draft gear! Very excellent modeling!!! Wish you more such models - and I should think of changing to On3 scale modeling; a wonderfull size.

It's a really nice model, looks gerat. Can we see more pictures?

Thanks to Andrew and Chad for your detailed comments. I think unloading a full boxcar of grain must been an endlos job, shovel and shovel and shovel and each time the grain flows away. Bernhard

I have a few very common questions seeing Steve's very excellent elevator model and the modifications those he made. What is the earliest time for such (large) grain elevators? How were dimension around 1900 or did not exist such industry at this time? - Sorry, I have seen a bit to late, the...

Sorry, model is HO-scale. Bernhard
