Check it out and let me hear your reactions...............
Sorry guys, it's 1:6 scale.

Wundervoll! Wirklich ein Museum Stück des Modellierens! Eines Tages kann ich die Zeit und die Konzentration haben, etwas auf dieser Skala zu produzieren, aber bis dann stehe mich im Awe des Meisters.........

Sorry guys, I meant 1/6 scale. Also I appologise for the other links attached to this web site. I didn't realize when I first saw it they were there. My bad. Hope no one is offended.
Tangerine Jack, where did you learn German?
I couldn't get over the extent of the detail in this man's work. Really something to behold.
The problem with foreign sites is that other countries don't have the same norms and values as we do. What is not acceptable to us may be perfectly normal and not raise an eyebrow at all overseas. It is the world we live in, that's all.
I am not that good of a German speaker, I can read and write several languages with a good deal of effort, but the spoken word really eludes me. All languages (except English) follow rules and patterns, so it is a matter of attaching vocabulary words to the language structure. I was school trained in Latin, so any of the romance languages (Italian, Romanian, Spanish, etc) are a simple matter of taking the Latin roots and growing branches on them. French is not considered a romance language in my opinion; it is little more than badly mispronounced provincial vulgate Latin.
My German grammar was probably not the best and I’m sure somebody out there will find errors in it, but I think the point came across.
Es ist ein schöner vorbildlicher Zug in jeder möglicher Sprache!
Still one bad loco ! Who cares if it is 1/16 it is still bad to the bone and no offence taken with the other spam. Don't sweat the small stuff.....1/2 cent......

To GearDrivenSteam,
Where did you get your icon? I'd like to get a similar one for an outside frame 2-8-0, such as a C-16 on the DRG. Thanks.
