cklammer Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Howard, I am finding it amazing how seamless the transition from model to backscene is. Best Regards, Christian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 I've now done the ballasting at the approach to the tunnel mouth:- 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cklammer Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Hello Howard, found some tunnel portal pictures for you: KBS 474 / KBS 248 3005 (KBS 478, 12478 / KBS 248m) 3002 (Stillgelegt, Radweg / KBS 248h) 3015 (Radweg / KBS 248q) "Radweg" => cycling path, in this context it means that the line in question has been built back. "Stillgelegt" => disused, out of service Pictures are mostly from this millennium so beware on the ballasting seen in the pictures ... and thus not much smoke stains either since the steamies weren't running there anymore since the late 1960ies/ early 1970ies ... Best Regards, Christian Edit: KBS = "Kursbuchstrecke" and some (mostly branch) lines' KBS numbers have changed with time twice or thrice Edit #2: the lines listed are all left of the Rhine river and north of the Moselle river, i.e. the Eifel mountains.

HSB Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 I have now received my third Umbauwagen with the fourth on it's way. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cklammer Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Oh nice: the baggage variant. 4 Umbauwagen is quite sufficiently enough IMO - if you want more passenger stock then get some variation unless you are late German era III/early era IV. Howard, have you thought about your goods traffic, yet? Best Regards, Christian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Christian, I have plenty of freight wagons - all I really need now is more locos! Edited February 13, 2018 by HSB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 I have now received the final Umbauwagen (another all second class) to complete my set of four. It's the one nearest the camera in the first shot. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSB Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 I've now got all the vegetation in place above the tunnel entrance. I have used a variety of materials from Polak, Woodland Scenics, MiniNatur, Noch and PECO. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'd like a train of these on Brückenheim (I've had a VT98 on pre-order now for 2 or 3 years!). Peter Martin brought these along for a run on Ramchester today. Amazingly they were able to run into the platform roads (but only just!). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cklammer Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hello Howard, 2x BR 64 with VT798 due to German copyright legal practice just the link and link to bahnbilder.de. Some motivation here Best Regards, Christian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSB Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I have used a photo I took of a building at Cochem and played around with it and reversed it. After printing it off and spraying it with matt varnish I have now stuck it onto the backscene. Edited March 15, 2018 by HSB 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSB Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 In the words of the song 'What a difference a day makes!'. I've actually been working on the church for a week or so and is from a picture I took while sailing up the Rhine in a ferry. Like the other building it has been reversed to more closely match it's location and the lighting. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
