Wayne, I must reecho again, excellent modelled scenes and superbly photographed!!! And I'm working at four doors for my boxcars since two months, I'm shaming! Bernhard

Bob, I'm not all days in forum and now have seen your fine tower model!!! The fency top is a great suggestion! I'm wondering again and again about all the many fine ideas!! And I love such fine done modelling jobs! Bernhard

A very nice idea ... ... and really good modelled!!! I can't remember seeing same before. Bernhard

Tomd81, you wrote, you are a fairly novice scratch builder. I think you have started with very good looking sides and a very interesting project. All here in "Scratchin' & Bashin'" know that I preffer wood for all my modelling jobs. But this fine and accurate modelling is a good start for fine...

Aaragorn, welcome ... ... and nice to meet here a more scratchbuilder! I love your technology making the walls from single boards! You can see the small differences of wide and thickness of boards in contrast to preformed or mechanical scripped material like it is available from...

Tayder, a really fine industry for your layout. I think the workers will work all with white uniforms in your very new and clean industry?? A small joke only! But a really good done job!!!! Bernhard

Looks very, very well!!! I'm very impressed to get such an excellent looking model with a relatively small work. Congratulation again! Bernhard

Hallo Kurt, fine modeling job that you do! I'm surprised how your model grows in what for a short time. Let see us the finished model! And because you have written before - "I don’t think it is too difficult to build this car, but it takes a lot of time" - my modeling job goes since more...

Thanks for your compliments! It's nice your friendly replies and I must say, this is the special feeling with this forum. You get an answer or you get an opinion. Thanks! Yes, I started with one model that 'll get the old time trucks pictured in first shots here. A friend asked for the model...

Hi Andrew, a fine wood model!! I think you know that I love such models built in all respects byself. Congratulation. Bernhard

After the raw work was done now I need a few more time for finer additions. Ladders, roofwalk, the first "iron" fittings. As next the doors must follow, doors for opening? Bernhard

Hi tomd81, extraordinary cars and load. Hope you'll come to a good result. Let us see a few pics of your jobs. I use for cutting of small brass profiles an ordinary juwelier saw and saw blades with 40 or 50 tooths per inch with good success. Bernhard

An attempt to explain a Proell governor A special description to Zedob and all friends of steam engines - and all others also! With my reply of 09-14-2005 I was at end of my Latin (a German phrase) or in English - I was at one's wits' end explaining the function of speed governor of pictured...

Hi Harold, what for a simple idea with a good result! My two old IHC-locos need since years a better finish and this a good thing to change also. Bernhard

After long delaying of my models I added scribed Northeastern wood planks on bottom and on all insides as I filled the endsides also. In all cases I sanded the scribbed sides to reduce the scribbing high for a more realistic look of sheathing. And you see also first demolished sides. Remember -...

After a longer time of hibernation I'll add a few new pictures of my 1867 B&O boxcar looking like a hopper. Here a picture of my second model that I must equip with Kadee trucks. Compare the differences at car bolster with last picture. Here you see also the truss rods which I added in pairs to...

Hi Yardboss, I think CA is a good way for gluing metal parts on plastic. I use in a few cases CA in a gel consistency, so you have a short time for correcting the positions of gluing parts. If you use liquid CA, use it sparingly and if glue is overflowing to sides of parts so you should take a...
