You are getting closer, but a bit more mobile..
The strange thing to the right is a small hatch to cover the hole in the middle (still no thunderbox )

Not much left to do now. The little hatch also got coal on top of it.
And here is a pict of my Regner Chaloner "Valborg" which I am fitting in to 7/8 scale:

How about a coal bunker for said loco with the hatch giving access to a control knob?.
Regards Graham.

Absolutely spot on!
It´s the gastank that I always wanted to hide under a coal load. And when I´m building in this large scale I finally descided how to do it..
The bunker is just loosely stuck on place, I´m thinking of using silicone on a few spots to fix it.

Nice work! It looks just right and I am particularly impressed with the 'distressed' look.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Hi all. Thought I show you the final tuch to the coalbunker.
I actually tried to buy a loco tool set from Model earth design, but they couldn´t deliver so I had to make a coal shovel by my own.
It is rather small, but this is a really small loco to.
Well I have started on a godswagon now, and that is turning in to something really big. I don´t think it can run on two axels so I have borrowed boggies from my old LGB material (It´s funny how easy LGB stuff can transfer into 7/8
)

That has come out very well. Nicely done!
When I ever get some time available I plan to similarly cover up the gas tank on my Lumber Jack with some logs.

And now I have come to the "meeting of the different scales" Because of sharp sun the pictures aren´t too god, but it gives a hint of what I am trying to do. I´m also thinking of buildings that will be in scale 1:13,3 on one side, and 1:20 on the other side

Lately I have been building my own tracks. Don´t know how many I will make, but I find it kind of relaxing building them. The brass-rails are more easy to shape than I had suspected. I used the Belly bottom railbender technology
On the upper left you can compare with an original LGB-track

Hi all. The whole summer has gone by. Sadly I have been occupied with 1:1 scale projects. My Chaloner is placed on an exhibition, and my O&K loco has been delayed with a half year.
But I got a chance to buy the Ipe Ruston at half price. So in between I have been building this:
As you can see it´s not finnished yet, but the sheep were duly impressed

Good evening. It´s been a while since I posted something, but those of you who can find me on fb might have seen some of my latest works. The GRF is of course a much better fora, as it´s slower, and you can line up your progress
in a continius row (however it´s a lot easier to share pictures on fb)
And now to the ongoing 7/8 project: Find these things in your home, and you can start on your own 7/8 rw.
Lowsy pict but I guess you can see what it is..

And now for the solution: Sacks, a broom and some bowls(or tubs?)
