"Doug" is Doug Junda, one of the owners. I don't know why he's not getting back to you. Maybe he's out of town. -- Russ

Hey there Russ. Ya know. Everyone picks apart their own builds. In a way I guess, it's the only way to successfully build. But plain and simple, it's always great to build. Don't lean so hard on this one. I like it. And paper - in HO, it's even better.

Quote from: Bernhard on March 23, 2025, 09:39:11 AMAs a next step, I have decided to tackle the second carrier. As long as I still have some idea of how I built the first one.

I am simply overwhelmed. Such a professional approach - and furthermore very forward planning! It's actually a fact, that modelling skill or the knowledge about how something was made fade away. To my experience that knowledge is stored not only in our memory but also in our hands etc. (comparable with the skill to jump from a springboard). So you should do well tackle down the second carrier now !

It looks great! I love those tires and spoked wheels. The handmade oil drum is fantastic! I tried making a 1/24th scale oil drum that way, using brass. It didn't work very well. I'll have to give copper a try.

Well Russ, at least it turned out well. But yeah, when it stops being fun, it's time for a change.
