And where are the furnitures? Congratulation, a very good looking plant and for a smaller layout also a very impressive eye catcher! Very nice work! Bernhard

A new load for the Wabash car #20006 The new load in front ... ... and mounted on Wabash car #20006. Here the model on a friend's (modern) layout. Since a few months I planed to replace the load of Wabash car #20006. This first, smaller shaft was an early attempt built after my...

Here is a new modelling project which is already in progress for a few months. (Click for larger image) Some times ago I found a short feature of a very unusually B&O box car in an older Railmodel Journal with a short description and sketches with four or five dimensions data that was...

Reefer rebuilding is finished - for the moment anyway! First model of my serie received a very dusty finishing seeing better the new detailing under the framework. And also from the side it is now clearly visible that the model possesses a correctly arranged detailing. In the direct...

A very nice model! Would like to see more pictures with details, folks and lettering. Congratulation again! Bernhard

Hi ross31r, In fact I agree with you. However I think model railroading is a hobby with many aspects. Perhaps you are interested in running model trains ... and it is right, nobody will see finest differences of various models. But who can see all the differences of a caboose with a super...

I'sorry but I can't give more annotations in present time. I'm sure that part looking like an electric moter is a centrifugal force controller, but I don't know as it works to change valve times for acceleration and cut-off. I think speed steering is inside of this shell. But one is correct...

Hello doctorwayne, I am sure that my modelling procedures are not the only way to get well looking models. Therefore I am convinced that there are a lot of many other possibilities to design, rebuild and to improve models. Furthermore I have seen many other models with the same or higher...

Hi Zedob, I was fulfilled with luck feelings seeing this working steam engine. Here a picture of steering, that I copied from syciety's website - in German. Engine is equipped with a valve steering, you can see valves mounted top on the cylinder. A speed geovernor is mounted between the two...

model load in reality Good news !! At weekend I visited a historical society here in Saxony/Germany which collected, reconditioned and maintened old steam engines and locomobiles. Largest and finest piece of their collection ist this stationary single cylinder steam engine built in...

Thanks again for the appreciative threads. Like all my other models I'm modeling only in HO scale. And I must say that N-scale modeling is too small for me. In example the mentioned shackle is made from 0.3 millimeter wire (in decimal inches 0.012) with an outer eye diameter of around 0.035 and...

Next step is done - brake is installed Brake could work as in the reality - but all rods are fixed on at their ends now. Bernhard

Thanks for compliments and I hope to get a really nice reefer. I want to act what I can do. Small advances: A new K-brake cylinder (Red Caboose part no. RP-1000-01) is glued on frame strips and it is "connected to brake pipe". I added also a smaller pipe to pressure-retaining valve, sorry...

Hi XafierJ123, I think I can remember to MR's feature of Big Warrior River Bridge many years ago. A very nice job to model it! I would like to see a few pictures of model, also under construction. Good success!! Bernhard

With this thread I would like to open a discussion with regard to few modelling projects which I started in last months. In this case I purchased three Atlas wood reefers models of 1900. The model bodies are very good detailed. There are opening doors, ice hatches and a lot of more detail...

In fact this model was a very cheap and old toy train model, I think $2 or lesser. Only many years later I experienced that its spare lettering is very close to Virginia & Truckee rr. original lettering like it´s visible on their most cars. I guess that V&T cars left rarely the tracks of their...

Thanks again to all answers with such a positve feedback. :) :) Models are built all in HO scale and building turn buckles is a job like all my others - hand made without a special tooling. In next days I'll prepare an extra thread with a few shots of my technology so it can try everyone to...

Thank you very much to all for the high acknowledgment. And I would like to talk with you about your ideas, suggestions or also criticism. Bernhard

Built in 1890/91 and constructed for the transport of heavy cable reels for streetcar services that were my first informations to the Wabash rr. #20006. By these features can one think of something else than to the cable cars in San Fransisco? So I thought that a large drive wheel must...

Thanks to all for the friendly words to my models. Thanks also to zedob. I didn't know the term of a "Geneva mechanism" before but after I have googled I found many entries with this term. In many cases this mechanism is used in a film projector to step the film quickly, holding it still, then...
