I'm looking forward seeing your finished house, Kurt. Working with wood is a really fine thing everytime. With this material you are 100 percent close to reality. And this is what I like to do also. Bernhard

Tileguy, a really fine garage, built like an original wood house. I like such models and its technology then you must know a bit more of real buildings. Congratulations!!! Bernhard

Preview to next modeling job Wayne, Kurt, thank you very much. I finished an other job for a friend and I'm now coloring the second B&O model. And here a small preview to my next job - a flatcar of 1899 with extraordinary details. Picture is used with permission by Black River Historic...

First of my both 1867 B&O boxcars is ready. See also my thread An interesting B&O box car of 1867 in Scratchin' & Bashin'. Bernhard

After a few other projects I have found time for coloring, aging and weathering the first of my B&O boxcars. Here I have tried to work with very thin colors in order to preserve the fine wood texture. And I tried to continue the old and aged look also for owner and number boards. I...

Sean, a very fine modelling job. Enjoy to see modellers making such fine superdetailed models. Congratulation! Bernhard

What can I give for graduaging of this work? Excellent in highest version !!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Tim, the finest what ever I have seen. Good success for next steps! Bernhard

Russ, Wayne, Kevin, thank you very much for your friendly replies. The second car needs only the steps and uncoupler levers than all is done. Lettering sets are in progress so that I hope for fast finishing in next weeks. A nice Easter to all readers of this forum! Bernhard

First model is finished (nearly)! Pictures show the detailing steps of my first model. Compare also the pictures in first post of this thread. Two of the brake beams are mounted with small eye bolts on underside of frame and I have chosen that I should add brakes at one truck only. Also...

Bob, look for Precision Scale Co. parts, that you can find also in Walthers online Catalogue. Make a search for NBW there. Precision Scale has really good NBWs in plastic and brass. I prefer brass because the greater stability. Bernhard

Bob, a very fine done job! Can I make a suggestion for a correction and an extention? - If you own use a smaller NBWs. I think these are a bit too large. - Add two wires (each side one) between the upright posts, so that the NBWs look like the ends of two clamps holding the posts fixed...

Hallo Peter, as first thank you very much for your many helpful ideas finding the right trucks. You are right, Kadee arch bar trucks have a too modern design for cars built in 1867. I'm very surprised that especially JAY'S TRAINS offers models of such old manufacturers like Ullrich yet and...

Thanks, Andrew. I have a posted a short info to the B&O Yahoo-group and I hope I can get an answer by the members. I 'll like to get an info here. Bernhard

Needing your help I think that my models are in good progress, but new pictures ‘ll come in two or three week when also truss rods are finished and mounted. That what I urgently need are HO scale hexagonal NBWs made by Detail Associates (part no. 102203 - brass). These parts are out of...

Bigsteel, thanks for your acknowledgment. But I must say also, I have seen a log loader built from a friend. It's built in 0-scale for his planed On3 timber railroad, a really phantistic work. That should you see! In all respects it is a many more detailed model than I'm building. I hope to...

Gus, yes, cars and loads are built all byself and if you are interessted to see my older threads, then click these links: - Wabash rr. heavy load flat car #20006 - An addition to Wabash #20006 - Wabash rr. heavy load flat cars - a third time - Sorry - no further Wabash flat cars or also...

Thanks Gus and Wayne for your friendly comments. Thanks also to you Wayne for wishes of my retirement. I'm hoping now really to have time for modelling each day and a few more projects are in preparation. I hope also they should be for a public interrest again. @Wayne, I'm using a few of...

I know last new info of my modelling project is long time back. But now I'm retired and I will finish this project in two or three months. I must write for my apology also that I must made five or six attempts finding the simplest and accurate working door construction. I think a brass model...
