  1. I would love to print it, but since I don't have a 3D printer nor any space, it's just for a virtual railway :)
  2. This is a 3D model of a DR track segment! They have S49 rail profiles and K rail fasteners. Here's a close-up of the rail fastener. It's classified as "K", and it was commonly used in Germany and many other European countries. And here's the rail. It's an S49 profile, also commonly used in Germany and in other European countries. It also has some other details, like accurate fishplates and bevelled sleeper A side view of the sleeper It isn't completely accurate tho, because I didn't have measurments of everything, but I tried to make it accurate as possible. Like @isambird's models, this was made in Roblox Studio. While Roblox Studio is very limited when it comes to certain things (especially with measurments and complex shapes), it's super easy to use. All of the parts were made within Roblox Studio with basic shapes, even the rails! Yes, I could add even more detail, but in an actual game it would cause a lot of lag. Once again a reminder that I'm still relatively new to this forum, and I'm bad at formatting posts (and my English isn't perfect either, I'm Czech afterall). Let me know if you'd like some more posts about my 3D models, or even if you would want to see some "stud style" ones (the same style that @isambird uses). Thank's for reading! :)
  3. So, I wanted to add a passing loop to my tiny "layout", and I realised something. This layout is made in Scarm with Roco H0e tracks, because those are the ones that I already have. But there's a small gap here at the passing loop. And since I'm far from a "proper" modeller, I wanted to ask, will this be a problem when I assemble the layout in real life?
  4. A year ago, I decided to buy an H0e (009) startset from Roco, along with an HF 130 C. The starterset cost around 130 euros (113 pounds), and the HF 110 C was about 170 euros (148 pounds). In the startset you get a loop of track, a controller, an 0-6-0T and 6 mine wagons. I think it's a pretty nice set, tho the 0-6-0 runs poorly at slower speeds. But then again, the set is pretty cheap, so I wouldn't expect a "proper" loco. And then the HF 110 C. To be honest, this is my favourite model that I own. It's beautiful, and it runs very smoothly. When I bought it (last year), it wasn't available in most shops, and I found the last one at a local model shop. So after I bought the starterset and a tender loco, something was missing... the rollwagen! Rollwagens are narrow gauge transporter wagons to carry standard gauge wagons. But why? Well, instead of transferring the cargo from the standard gauge wagon to the narrow gauge wagons, you can just load the standard gauge wagon on a narrow gauge wagon! While this did cause problems (and sort of ruin the concept of narrow gauge), like bigger rail profiles having to be used (which was originally avoided with narrow gauge) and a bigger loading gauge, which even caused a tunnel on the Weißeritztalbahn to be blown away. Anyway, like the HF 110 C, Roco rollwagens were hard to find as they weren't being produced anymore. Again, I found them at some small retailer here in the Czech Republic and ordered 2 of them. I do not remember the exact price, but I think togheter they were about 60 euros (52 pounds). These roco rollwagens sadly don't have adjustable blocks (I'm not sure how to call them) that stop the wagons from rolling off, so only some wagons fit on it. But still, they're really nice! They're nicely detailed, and overall, I really like them. :) And one last photo of the little 0-6-0 :) While I don't have that much narrow gauge stuff, I plan on getting more when I financialy recover :D. Some of these photos were taken earlier today, specifically to post here, and some of them are older photos with the background poorly removed. Keep in mind that this is my first actual post here, so I'm still new to all of this. Thank's for reading! :)
  5. I'm definenitely not an expert when it comes to any of this, and I only have the Hobby 218, but I must say, I'm very happy with it! It is cheap so it lacks some details, but it runs very nicely from my experience. I only have this yellow one, since it was the cheapest in my area a few years ago. :)
