Hey I plan to visit these places in 2 month and also continue to Cambodia. I am already very excited for this railroad experience. Thank you for the photos.

Here is to the link to incline railway in Germany with horizontal platform for standard coaches and cars. Oberwiessbacher Bergbahn and to their WEB WEB SITE :wave:

Hi Glen they should be press fit, however in my kit I have got olso the metal counterweights (I hope this is the real word for them) and those small nuts are sitting much more better on those metal parts as on the plastic one. The plastic is I think delrin so there is no glue what will stick...

Very nice construction, congratulation.

There is a similar construction in former Eastern Germany, where there is just a platform (like an elevator) and normal coaches are lifted up to the next level. Similar construction is preserved as a museum railroad in Romania's loggin line in Covasna were the logging cars are moved between...

Today we had a big meeting of narrow gauge fans in Lunz (Austria). A few houndred of visitors enjoyed the real working narrow gauge line and also many models and layouts. Some pictures are here: http://groups.msn.com/FERKELLINES/willkommen.msnw Please enjoy :wave: :wave:

Welcome to the Gauge Ralph, nice models.

Additionally the Vietnam coaches were narrow gauge 1000 mm.

Hi CIDCHASE you were right with the capacitor, exactly this is what I would add to the LED circuit. I also agree with your second question (probably we are all slow now in the hot :) summer ), I do not know what are those elements in series with the resistor (Lamps?). They cannot be...

You are right, if you just add the cap. Of course you need to check with your VOM the voltage on the cap. It may never exceed the maximum voltage on the flasher. In such cases your VOM will give you more real reading as without the cap and you can easily adjust the resistor for proper...

;) Hi marnlq welcome on the gauge. Vietnam is not that far from your country ;) , so maybe they purchased the cars in China or produced under licence in Vietnam.

Hi Mickey put a big capacitor to the power input. Such flasher circuits use to draw lot of current when the LED is on, so the voltage from the resitor will drop below 3 V. You can avoid this by a big (2000-5000uF capacitor). Or as already told you need a separate stabiliser.

I posted some new pictures from Czech republic, Austria, Hungary and Vietnam: More pictures are here: FLRR

Perfect model, congratulation. I saw similar equipment in the big UdSSR used to clean tracks and switches from snow and ice. What about your railroad? :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Hi I built my latest "equipment" upon the setup I found in the museum in Nevada earlier this year. The equipment is (I guess) some kind of ore mill. In the museum it was not complete so I have no idea how did it work. On my layout I found an intermediate solution, the steam engine is under...

Our latest steamer This is the promised picture of the Class 52 on our scale 1 layout. It is a real steam (ASTER kit). After some problems the engine runs quite well.

Yesterday we also spent about 3 hours with the initial running experience with the latest real steam engine of my friend. It is the ASTER's German class 52 built from kit and modified for the Austrian railways. The model is in scale 1 and after about 1 hour heating finaly the machine started to...

We are planning a small expedition (max. 20 people) to Cambodia from Nov.28 till Dec.2nd, 2004. In the program are rides with available steam locomotives (exclusively for the group) and additional sightseeing and a 6 hours riverboat trip. As optional we offer additional railway...

Not only that, you need also lot of special materials and the skills to work with them (stainless steel etc.) is not that easy, and finally when your locomotive is ready (we have some in our 1 scale club) it is an absolute challenge to use them, as the reaction of the real steam is completely...

The burning fire station here is a picture from bird perspektive. (with burned trees and the undertaker arrival.... :mad: (The new building of the Match Renovation Corp. HQ is under construction :rolleyes: )
