Shop Masinky.CZ is one I could recommend :-) I didn't follow this thread for couple of months, nice to see how you progress since that time!

Good to hear you successfully removed the chasis. I was out for a week, so not have time to come here. Take care once returning metal spring back. Yes, Plux22 is needed. Plux16 might work too, but you might miss indepnedent light control feature. And the price is almost equal.. I have both sound and non sound, if needed. I recommend to work a bit on the lights and put something better in between the plastic light feabers - I've put some piece of black foam during tests before shipping, but I'm not sure if it is enough. By default from production, there is nothing and red light might lit when only white one is on.

Working on interior lights for 810 / 010. This is a sample of front/rear light, full interior in DCC will be available early in 2015.

Time is changing here, sometimes too fast. Reconstruction is ongoing and speeding up these days. Lack of investments of previous governments, which preffer roads, is now a bit different. As goverment has money for transportation infrastructure and nothing is prepared on the road and highways to start with, those money are going to be spent in railway system, where lot of projects were preprared in the past, but put on hold due to lack of funds. Let's see.... As a consequence, unused and abandoned structures (old station warehouses, watch houses etc) are dissapearing from the track neighbourhoods. Also, as a part of track renovation, stations are going to be simplified - former tracks for collecting wagons are removed and from 4-8 tracks in the station, we have now two main ones and time to time, with nothing or one or two spare...

If you made a stop in Kácov, try their local brewery and beer Hubertus ;-) http://www.pivovarkacov.cz/index.php?id=pivovar They still use traditional production, not lower cost high grade process as most of the big facilities.

Well, I'll add few words too Those kits are same as Bramos is using - we both bought from the same source of plastic moulds. Time to time, there are also available painted kits - the chasis in full color with pad printed texts and logos. Feel free to ask, I do not keep that in daily offer. I also expect the kit of interior to go out for production soon (ok, soon means in a few months due to personal reason of author of that kit) and kit for DCC lights too.

Yeah, a lot were going to smelters at the end of last century. That's a pity that some of old shape wagons (like Px/Pao/Smmp - former military flat bend wagons for tanks) but newly renovated were displaced in thousands that time, ending in smelters, and now, they seems to be again reconstructed from those remaining forgotten in the middle of nowhere.

Interesting note about track Bechyne - Tabor - that was first electrified track in Czech Republic, elektrified since 1903 by DC 1.5kV. It's a first track in central europe originaly designed and built as electrified rail. Also interesting could be that original system designed by Frantisek Krizik was using three wires - two on trolleys like for trolley bus ( + 700 V DC and - 700 V DC ) and ground wire on track. It was changed in 1938 to standard two wires system.

Those "brake" vagons are still in service, although not attached to each train as in the past. They were designed as baggage cars with space for train leader and crew. Built in '47 and '55 under marking "Ds" (changed in 1983 to Daa), equipped by steam heating pipes. Since they were replacing on passanger trains by newer models, they become used on cargo trains. As there is no steam heating on cargo trains, they were equipped by stoves (you could see smoke pipe on top) and marked as Daa-k ("k" stands for "kamna", czech word for coal stove) or by diesel agregate later on. They are used with local cargo trains on CD or CD - Cargo (both companies has some) for the train crew. Not really used for braking.

Yes, they usually Pragomodel has those items from Bramos in stock. If needed I could check with them prior your visit, as I sit in the office accross the highway just close to them. BTW I could also ship to you by mail if needed, but it costs a fortune... 10 - 15 Pounds per package as it is large and heavy

Perhaps this could help? http://pojezdy.eu/eshop/h0-osobni-vozy/1379-h0-stavebnice-pipojneho-vozu-010-k-motoraku-810.html There are also pre-colored version available but that's question for request and check. There is also something for hardcore modelers - full interrior details I'm working on the interrior light for 010/M152 right now. There is example how it looks like on Bap/Bpjo : http://www.pojezdy.eu/view.php?nazevclanku=osvetleni-vozu-bap-bmto-v-meritku-h0-bramos&cisloclanku=2013020001

Hello there, maybe another interesting link for kit's of boggies for Czech models : http://www.pojezdy.wz.cz/ Inspired by English guys from http://www.clag.org.uk/

You welcome I've tried to follow this topic but it seems it does not send an email when there is new post, so if you would need some more information about Czech stations and railroads, drop me a mail and I'll reply. Contact page is in my profile. Also in case you will have some difficulties to get special kits from small local producers, I think I could help. I meet most of them regulary once a month.

I've update a bit link with the ocean name, as it is more linked to the RR called from the ocean.. Union Pacific RR, Western Pacific RR, Central Pacific RR and many others. That's more precise.
