Hello Tremayne,

you made quite a good progress for one day.

Hope to see any updates in the near future.

Markus

Hello Tremayne,

the trackplan is looking good: I would like to see it developing.

Markus

I'm a great fan of John Allens G&D.

Your layout plan did represent it very well.

Markus

Hello Missy,

your created van is very impressing.

Markus

Yes it was a cement train.

The village in your picture link was the village where I used to live.

Markus

Hello,

yesterday I saw a couple of MEG locos on the way to my parents. These was on the line from Wurzburg to Frankfurt between Zellingen and Veitsh

Hello Missy,

thank you for your reply. A friend of mine who is offering etches in continental N told the same, that with Shapeways sometimes they say the print is within their limitations, and another time the same object isn't. He have looked for another 3D Printing service. He had offered models of Skoda cars as RTP models in limited editions. At the moment he is offering IFA W50 lorry kits.

Here is his website.

Hello,

the Foden looks very good, is there a source where we could get it from?

Markus

Thank you Julia.

Markuks

Hello Julia,

thank you for the information, is it possible to contact him by Email? And did he sold the kits to non members of the 2mm Association?

Markus

Hello Julia,

no, I'm looking for tank wagons which I could use in the late 60s to the mid 70s for my scottish layout.

Where could I purchase the kit from Stephen Harris?

Markus

Hello Julia,

I wan't to built some anchor tanks like you. At the moment I plan to modify some Parkside Dundas Chassis, but I could wait some time.

Markus

Thanks again for the comments guys

 

 

 

I need to tweak the body a bit first Jerry, there are a couple of mods I need to do since trying to build one. It will make assembling it a little easier. Unfortunately I will not be at Railex this year, I have agreed to take Highclere to a show in Bideford for a good friend of mine which sadly clashes with Railex.

 

 

 

 

Hi Markus. Thats a good question! If you are desperate for a couple I could get some more test etches done but it will cost you (Im guessing around

Hello Julia,

Is there any chance to purchase one or two of the tanker chassis?

Markus

Hello Lisa,

may I suggest that you couple the short and long cassette together, so that the short one

is next to main track.

So when you push the train back the wagons will come to a rest on the long cassette and the

engine on the short one, next you uncouple the two cassettes and move the long one towards the

track and the short one right from the long one, and couple them both together, now you couple

the engine on the train and push the wagons back to the platform.

Markus

Hello Stuart,

I have looked. The plastic board is called Guttagliss Hobbycolor.

Markus

Hello Stuart,

I used a kind of soft plastic board, with 3mm strength, and on top are 1,5mm polystyrene board.

The 3mm board could be sawn, cut, drilled, glued, painted, and is available in german DIY stores.

I will have a look, how it is called.

Markus

We use Digitrax compatible DCC Systems like Uhlenbrock Intellibox, Digitrax command stations, and the Loconet Bus for Equipment like Booster and Walkaround Throttles.

Markus

Here is another movie I made during the exhibition.

Markus

Hello Pete,

the Class 27 uses a GraFar Class 33 chassis. And when I received the body of the 27 I lowered it about 2mm, but I thin more is not possible, because between the chassis and the body sits the DCC chip.

Markus

Tom,

thank you for your answer. For purchasing Easitrac components, have I to be a member of the 2mm Society?

Markus

Hello Tom,

did you built your easytrac trackwork to 2mm FS standarts or did you built it with a gauge of 9mm?

Markus

Hello,

a good friend told me that he had a mate who used blue poppy seed, and after some time it sprout. So he recommend not to use any organic stuff for ballasting.

Markus

Your locos are smooth runners. Please keep us informed on the progress.

Markus

And here is a picture of a secret British Railways Prototype B)

Markus

Yes, it looks great.

My friend Matthias is building it.
