Modellrailroading in Brass and Wood
Posted by Woodbrass Martin on Monday, September 23, 2019 3:02 PM

 

I greet you all 
I'm new here.
Unfortunately, my language skills are bad. Embarrassed
I hope that my work with a lot of pictures in HO and 1: 11.25 will please them anyway. Pure american railroading.

Hi Martin!

A big Welcome. I may be wrong, but you are the first Swiss member I see here!

Just to show what you are talking about - I take the liberty of inserting a picture from the link you provide.

I guess the following is HO scale.

Marvellous detail!

Happy times!

Looking forward to seeing your work.

Welcome to the forum.  Your initial posts are moderated so expect a delay.

You speak several more languages than most 'meircans, so don't worry about it.  I saw 3 posts from an American on another forum and it needed subtitles for all the misspellings and words run together. 

Posting pics in this forum is tricky.  There is a permanent post (sticky) in the general forum.  I don't know quite how Ulrich picked out the pic from the links you posted.  Generally it has to have a picture extension like .jpg and be posted somewhere on the internet, where you don't need to log in to see it.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

Welcome to the Model Railroader Forums, Martin.

I never had great success modelling with wood, and eventually gave up on it.

However....

Some model!  Some modelling!!!

Beautiful work, Martin...not only a craftsman, but an artist, too!

Wow! The whole page it the work of the OP! Amazing! I only looked at a few pictures but the amount of stuff the OP has built is absolutely insane! I hope the OP will stick around and keep sharing his excellent work!

Regards, Isaac

Thanks to all.
My love is the original replicas as well as the free lance models. But important to me is the technical correctness. It should also work in reality! In the Lovell hook gear of 1852 as in the steam turbine locomotive system Liungström (built with parts of a Rivarossi Big Boy!).

I love that C.P.R. Jubilee. Three years to build? Your work is amazing, it is a lot to take in.
