I second that. Especially the tires are looking very good.

Bernhard,

this is so well executed - I'm overwhelmed!

Kim,

it was a pleasure to meet you and see Sandy Hollow last week at the 'Internationale Spur 0 und Spur 1 Tage in Gießen'!









Cheers,

"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

Called, got a recording and a suggestion that I send an email to "Doug", did so and no response.

I just ordered Grandt Line NBW's from them.  Had them is 5 days.

Nice work

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 !

I can't get over how massive this thing is going to be!
