A wooden coal tower In last days I started a new project, building a coal tower. I stopped my present project, the gondolas of Lake Terminal rr., because I built and built very small parts and I did not see a progress to reach the end of this job. This new modelling project shows the daily...

These days I started a small project because we need a small shed for my friend's steam loco museum. The very old steam locos like John Bull and The DeWitt Clinton must have a roof for showing in the exhibition. I made this small sketch ... ... the side walls are under construction …...

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...

This time I built a crossing shanty for my friends planed Steam Loco Museum - see also my billbord thread. He asked for a ticket kiosk and I think that this shanty gives a good shelter. This crossing shanty is a laser kit made by Mounteneer Precision Products that I have given a few...

In last days I built first part of small buildings and equipment for a planed (model) railroad museum on a few modules owned by friends that is focused to steam engines and steam loco facilities. This billboard is built without following an original but I attempt to build after a...

This description will give you an idea to build your own truss rods or turnbuckles and it will give you a few hints for working with fine tubes and pieces of wire. Because the circumstance that turnbuckles in different sizes are not available and that in all cases the wire of truss rods is going...

The shortly held first US Model Railroading Convention in Rodgau (near Frankfurt) / Germany was ended with two stolen models of a fine weathered Marklin Big Boy #4013 and a Lionel veranda gasturbine loco #61, all HO-scale. Look here for a more description also ScaleRailsOnline.Com -...

Already a good time ago I started to model an interesting low board gondola with a few very interest details. Picture is used by permission of Black River Historical Society - for showing a larger view click in this picture or click here. These gondolas were built originally in 1899 by...

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...

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...

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...

Around 1900 the Wabash rr. owned a second 16 wheel flat car similar to the heavy load flat car #20006 with a load capacity of 55 tons and with other small differences with regard to the construction. Unfortunately there were no more details available so I built the same model like the #20006...
