Re: ØVJ at the moment...

Excellent! I love the small teacup on the steamheader in the locomotive.. About the worst nightmare derailments: You could add a catchrail in the curve. It is prototypicall and it will help to guide a derailed wagon or locomotive into safety. You can easily make one by screwing brass screws into th...

The sad face is ment as a Goodbye to the Regner company which I heard is closing down :( If anyone has information of the opposite I be glad hearing of it. Beside that I'm really g...

Re: ØVJ at the moment...

I like to show you some pics: http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t400/m1chael53/fullsizeoutput_3350_zps6vgeknqr.jpeg T...

Thank you for kind comments. The loco is an Orenstein&Koppel from Herrmann echtdampf, Germany. They have now made an English version of it too.

Grant.
I just realised, the mug is to clean. I must make it more sooty :icon_smile:

Hi all. First of all; Thank you for all your kind and encouraging comments on my mill :wave: And here I´ll show som more detail pics; the Mill has become far more complicated and detailed than I could imagine. It just went on and on growing out of my hands and mind, I´m actually surprised myself of ...

I´ve been working on the backside of the Mill. This part of the building has developed to be a far more detailed and complicated add than I had imagined (but I´m having fun...) On the bottom there is a portal for the wagons to pass through to get under the silos for loading. I´m kind of getting to t...

Interesting that Norway has those pesky Robertson square-headed screws. I thought only Canada used those! Hi. The fact with all those different screws is that they are bought in cheap, big sets, and I suppose are made in China or other places in Asia. No square headed though. They are sexagon and c...

Hi friends. Thank you for kind comments. And also some important thinking about M&M´s My idea is to use some kind of plastic bottle with the opening pointing down, over the wagon. The bottle shall be easy to lift out, or even exchanged into a new (if I have a serious chocolate meltdown) :blob3: ...

Autumn. After a long wait, and slow building I got a chance to test my new building, a mill. There is still a lot to do, but the exact placement is very important, as the backside will have working silos http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t400/m1chael53/IMG_1835_zpspgcnfxjo.jpg There is tracks on t...
