Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
Thanks chaps. As a bit of a "thank you" I also sent a link to the video to the guy at the museum who assisted with the check measurements and pic. He replied straight awy with " That is spectacular!!! Thanks for sharing it with me. Cheers, Zack" Which I thought was rather nice of...

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
Inevitably, at this time of year the garden requires a massive tidy up and there are always umpteen rolling stock repairs to catch up with. But it’s raining again, so I’ll have another cup of tea, continue with my book and worry about the other stuff some other time. That about sums it up, for most...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card

I did actually get it finished last weekend as I had hoped, and did a short video, but then discovered I had made a ...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
Well here it is. https://youtu.be/ZQ2kqpcGWYQ In the end I painted it in standard early 1940's "Panzer grey", which is currently RAL 7021 and as far as I can tell was also used for Luftwaffe ground vehicles. I decided against the red embellishments since I'm not sure if they are correct ( ...

Re: Headlamp housings
Is this the sort of thing you are thinking of, Phil? ( as a f'rinstance)

Give us some dimensions and I'm sure one of us can come up with something to suit.

Re: Atropos Rolling Stock Kits
It’s strange that Martin (of Atropos) states it on all the build instructions as he’s so particular and precise (in a good way), if people cannot determine what it relates to. Even if it was an historical measure, I’d have expected to find some reference on the internet! A new one on me too, I've b...

Sorry for the delay! I've finished it- see HOW TO: Gif-izing a video
Although I managed to do a very simple version for my coupling gif, I never managed to work out how to get the resizing etc to work, so this looks very helpful.

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
Coming back to my loco, I'm open to thoughts on 'red'. As I mentioned some while back, German railways are well known for red wheels etc. I kind of had it in mind that in military service this wouldn't have had that embellishment and the red axles boxes, etc, in the original photo could have been pa...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
Yes, it is a fascinating location. What really struck me though, was the speeds they were running at. More like a lot of toy train layouts than a proper railway! They obviously don't pay a lot of attention to 'elf 'n safety, 'due diligence', 'risk assessment', etc, either.

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Rod, I think the whole point of a thread like this one is that at the end of the day, between us we've worked out what is and isn't doable, so that you don't need to understand the technicalities, just follow the final "recipe". I'm hoping that this weekend I will have the whole loco finis...

Re: The Railway in the Valley of the Mill
It has been so wet here that Dinah has only got 2 of her beds ready to plant, and one planted up. Much the same everywhere I think,Trevor. We certainly haven't been able to get out and do anything more than a bit of pruning of last years die back. Still, it's good to see the railway is still making...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
Thanks Rik, I wouldn't argue about that. Either way it isn't part of the loco, so I'm not too fussed as to what it actually is.

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
You may remember a few weeks back we had some discussion about what the red blobs are, by the blackout headlight in the original photo. Well, this morning I was looking at the pictures to get the correct position for drilling the headlight mounting hole, when I realised that there are no red blobs o...
