Christmas Modelling

[DiveController]

This is the sum total of my modeling efforts for today, Christmas Eve. I'm calling it the gatekeepers cottage since it was a joint effort between me and what I hope will be the next generation of railway modeller presently aged four years old! Upstairs are "Dad's trains" (which can be taken for a spin on a couple of DC loops, and treated with the utmost respect) and 5'x3' play table covered with Thomas the Tank Engine tracks, stations, and engines!

I gorged myself on those the other evening at a family get-together when the younger folk had "cooked"....

 

Who's for a gingerbread De Dietrich set?

I built this one for me mum (though not edible) a Christmas present for her grandchild

 

 

Hi-tech modelling- it even came with a wooden screwdriver!

 

Happy Christmas

Is there a bar in it, murrayec?

Child's play for you, Eoin. Didn't even need the high-amp cutter gizmo!

Wish the models were all that easy:D

 

Happy Christmas, guys!

The loco appears to be similar to that used in a cheap G gauge train set widely available (Australasia & United States) about 18-20 years ago. The set was popular with large scale modellers loco had basic but effective radio control, and locos/stock good basis for kit bashing into something less toy like. Main differrence between Australiaian and US versions was the placement of the batteries, cab of local version and tender in United States.
