Hello, in the last time, because of nice weather progress of work wasn't too big Still I have built tender, breaking system and equip area of fireman. How it looks you can see below. Fortunately process of riveting was finish. I'm not so happy of this. I need work out better sticking, more linear putting rivets on body.

Hello Dear All, I don't know what to say. I didn't expected as many warm words. Models of cardboard are only static ones. In Poland is many good modelers who build really nice replicas of card. Maybe would be interested for you another my models of polish engines. For that I think will be better to open new topic? Horsetan: during II WW Germany taken some French loco's 241A and 241P I thing you said about them. ColinK: in the near future I do not plan to visit GB then I think it would be difficult to show them there. Because of material used for my locos would be very easy receive smoke, needs only heating element . Unfortunately it would be possible only one time. dwhite4dcc: both showed by me engines were work out by me but there is possible buy many another card models for example here: http://sklep.gpm.pl/modele-kartonowe Regards Mirek

Hello All, Horsetan: Peppercorn, thanks. Just finished "riveting". I have aplied around 3500 rivets. It really consume plenty time. Cheers Mirek

Hi, generally I prefer painting because paint protect paper. In Duchess red elements were printed on glossy photopaper. Tender of 241P is printed in color on standard cardboard 180 g/sqm but will be completely painted. Working with photopaper is difficult and later on printed surface are visible changes.

Hello, in the last time I worked with tender. On this stage is assembly of elements and start of painting. How it looks you can see below. cheers Mirek

Hello, Horsetan, mechanically it would be possible but material, cardboard is not enought strong.. chriscleveland, report of building of 241P is here http://kartonist.de/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=13830 hope it will be helpfully for you. regards Mirek

Hello Dear Visitors, Thank you very much for your compliments. I have two questions: Is there anybody interested in continuation thread with cardboard loco's - now built by me 241P? Is this place correct for this thread or thread with current progress of construction should be in another place? Regards Mirek
