hello together I have a question. Were there ever any railway wagons / goods wagons with Guinness advertising? Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas

In Germany, it would take 20 years to implement / approve this. We - NO our government and also many citizens preferred to believe in the "good Russians" and to rely on cheap gas. Here in the Black Forest, water reservoirs for hydroelectric power plants were rejected - because they disturb the environment - they were only visible from the plane..... The solar industry outsourced to China... There is no longer a large solar manufacturer in Germany. In Baden Württemberg, only 3 wind turbines were built this year due to lengthy approvals and appeals... Questions ???? I also only heat with gas ... I didn't think about it either (my new heating system is 4 years old), but now I'm also very sceptical about the future.

Hello together, I have a question that has only limited to do with railways. For my ship model "Vaterland" KLICK I am looking for figures from the period 1900-1930. The scale is between 1:100 and 1:87. They should not look too modern (short dresses...etc) Preiser figures I know - is there maybe something else ? Andreas

HI, since ship modeling and ships in general are also a great hobby of mine: can anyone say something about these ships (picture 6 ) and the place where the photo was taken? possibly other details ? Thanks in advance Andreas

Expansion of my distillery. The garage wall as background always looked bare. So I planned to build a relief house. By chance I got a cheap PIKO locomotive shed, not quite perfect, especially badly glued. So I could take it apart and build the relief house for my distillery from these parts. The gates of the locomotive shed I "bricked up" with tile glue. Today I have placed the building. BEFORE: AFTER

The trolley train with the Fowler diesel locomotive

I did a little tinkering. I did not like the LGB buffer stops made of plastic. So I built some myself. Each one is different.

Hello together, a little tinkering on the side. I have 6 of these trolley cars. They only look plastic to me - not suitable for an Irish branch line.... I rebuilt the first 3. So they had to suffer. With a knife and files I worked on the edges. In addition, a few scratches. But the most important: The plastic of the lorry was heated with the blowtorch until it became soft, then I bent a little here and there. After that the whole thing was painted with rust color. DONE. By heating with the flame, the plastic got a rough surface - I like it that way. Here an picture Clonmacnoise & West Offaly Railway

Hello together, So now the Loco is ready.... The locomotive is controlled with RC control from Fosworks. The sound module is from MyLocosound. The batteries are Lithium Ion batteries with 7,4V and 6800 mA. The loudspeaker is installed under the cabin roof. The locomotive looks well used. The right driver is still missing. The name is like my other locomotives again a mountain in Co Clare.

Although not cheap - in my eyes quite expensive... But these look the best: https://www.modelu3d.co.uk/ But if someone else has an idea - gladly. I'm still looking for something to print myself. MakeHuman KLICK also seems to be very good - but it doesn't work correctly on Linux for me

Hello together, I have a question about figures. I am looking for locomotive personnel in 1:22.5 scale. And in a very special way. They should not look like the "normal" people but with charisma. BUT no caricatures. Just like the figures from: KLICK But these are too big for my locomotives. I ordered some - they look great, but they don't fit in my locomotives. Where can I find such figures in scale 1.22 to 1.24? Either ready or unpainted or 3D files to print yourself. Thanks in advance

Hello all, it goes on - slowly.... The locomotive is assembled, the eccentrics and the rodding are built. I have attached dummies of the brakes. The substructure in the rear is a bit larger, the speed controller and sound module will be installed here. Accus and receiver should be in the engine compartment. I have ordered the electronics from Fosworks - let's see how long it takes to ship them to Germany.

I still have an LGB drive lying around - it can't stay like this.... So I am planning a small diesel locomotive. I like an older Fowler. I don't know if such a locomotive was used in Ireland, but I think it would look good. The whole model is a free fiction, only designed according to pictures. The frame will be made of polystyrene, the superstructure is from the 3D printer, and I will also print the front and rear parts. The drive will again be done with battery and Foswork components. The driver's cab was 1,5mm bigger than the given print area of my printer - but it worked. That's how it looks so far: Plan: Result: some details ( only smartphone photos)

Hello , I'm just cheeky - would it be possible to make the transition in 1/22.5 G scale, possibly in individual segments / parts? many thanks in advance

Hello. I haven't written anything for a while, I haven't written anything for a while, but the railway had to take a back seat because of some house renovations. And now it's autumn...
