jpachl Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Just to have a reason to take some of my Russian TT scale equipment out of the boxes, I used to weekend to make up a small temporary photo diorama with a fictitious Russian railway scene.

Theakerr Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Based on the incredible Russian rail network I think iy would be a fascinating subject to model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiebrfan Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Great stuff, the backscene is very effective. You should consider a small shunting plank next. Who is the manufacturer of these models? Regards G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taigatrommel Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Great stuff, the backscene is very effective. You should consider a small shunting plank next. You should click on Jörn's website in his signature to see his other models, for instance a US outline shunting plank and a German branch line terminus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpachl Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Great stuff, the backscene is very effective. You should consider a small shunting plank next. I'd love to. However, I have to consider my limitations in time and space. I already have two operational layouts following a German and a North American prototype. Both layouts are rather small but consume some space. Since I'm interested in two many different prototypes, I never had the intention of building one big layout. Lately, I have mainly concentrated on making dioramas. Some of them were just temporare. So, they consume space on my hard disk but not in my flat. As a frequent reader of Model Trains International, I sometimes play with the idea of making a layout that can be operated in different national modes by exchanging just a few items. However, it's difficult to find a suitable prototype for this. A possible solution might be a railway scene in a steel mill. Steelmill structures do hardly differ between North America, Germany, and Russia. However, up to now I have not yet a fixed plan, just an idea. Who is the manufacturer of these models? The M62 diesel loco is from Roco (i.e., Hornby international). The ЧМЭ2 is an older model from BTTB, the predecessor of Tillig. The goods wagons are from Russian mass market manufacturer Peresvet. The black Wolga sedan is from Herpa, the lorries are from RK-Modelle (sold in Germany, but don't know where they are manufactured). The ТЭ steam loco is a limited edition made by Modellbahnshop Sebnitz based on Tillig's series 52. Making a TT scale layout of Russian prototype is much easier than American, since a lot of stuff is available. This is due to the fact that TT is the leading scale in Russia with a market share above H0. Regards, Jörn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpachl Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 This diorama has now been featured in the July issue of Russian model railway magazine Lokotrans. Joern Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpachl Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Just finished another temporary photo scene with some of my Russian rolling stock. The only shortcoming are the old couplers, which are still standard on models manufactured in Russia and difficult to replace.

jpachl Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Last weekend, I found the time to set up another photo scene with some of my 5ft gauge equipment. Russian industrial scene 2 by Jörn Pachl, on Flickr The consolidation is a former German series 56, which ran in Russia as series TO. The model of this locomotive, I already made in the 1980s by modifying a series 56 of former East Berlin TT scale manufacturer BTTB. Note the smaller loading gauge of the German designed locomotive compared with the Russian freight wagons. The freight wagons are current models made by Russian manufacturer Peresvet. Like my last photo setting, the scene was created on a computer by blending a model scene with a photo background. Joern Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpachl Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 The latest piece in my collection of 5ft gauge TT scale models is a steam powered Russian ПК-6 crane. Russian steam 1 by Jörn Pachl, on Flickr The crane was made by a former Ukranian small batch manufacturer that has now moved to Moscow. I couldn't resist to set up a small temporary photo scene showing this crane loading coal into the tender of a ТЭ steam locomotive. The ТЭ is a former German wartime series 52. The steam locomotive partly to be seen on the left hand side, mostly covered by the crane, is the same series TO shown in my previous posting in this thread.

jpachl Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 I've just created another scene in a similar style. In October 2014, I bought two Russian TT scale (1:120) tank wagons from Berlin vendor TT Club. In one of the following photo sessions on my balcony, I took a photo of a small tabletop setting using these wagons. Afterwards, I somehow forgot about that photo. Recently, I found it on my hard disk, spent some time for the final rendering and added a matching background, for which I combined parts of several industrial photos. The result proves that this photo didn't deserve to be forgotten. The diesel locomotive is a ЧМЭ2 made in the 1980s by East German TT scale manufacturer BTTB. It doesn't meet today's modeling standards but still works for such a photo scene. Joern The forgotten tankers by Jörn Pachl, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpachl Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 In 2015, Russian TT scale manufacturer Peresvet made a limited series of the Russian series Э, which was the most built steam locomotive outside the US. By great luck, I got the chance to buy one of just 80 copies made of this model. After it had arrived, I could hardly wait to set up a small diorama photo scene.
