Hello Group,

      Thought someone might be interested in this railway.  Take a
look at this little gem;

All:
A little question on point levers. What type do you use? I'm interested in knowing more as I have tried to get in touch with a German - Holger Jeworowski - who makes some fine levers in brass. Unfortunately he seems to have changed his e-mail and I haven't heard from him. I wonder if you know other sources for point levers?

Claus

Hello Claus,

the german company COMPLEXX sells a wide range of engines and rolling
stock in 1:32 narrow gauge. They do offer parts for trackwork and
switches/points too. You can find point levers at
http://www.carocar.com/html/zubehor1.html.

Hello Group,

I am looking for oil drums and wooden barrels to equip some of my
1/32 scale flat wagons.

I already tried www.lokfuehrer-lukas.de but it is hard to get any
answer from them.

Any hint where else I may find barrels and drums?

Regards

You could always try Ian Lindsay Models in Australia who do 44 gallon drums
in 1/32.

They do them in solid, hollow and damaged and also do 4 gallon drums as
well.

He is also a nice bloke.

Get him on ianlind@... .

He hasn't got them on his website as yet but Mike South did some publicity
on his stuff some months ago.

Regards,

Ian Storrie.

Hi José

You don't say what size drums you're after. If you want 200 litre drums,
they're quite common in 1:35 scale from military manufacturers. Tamiya do at
least 3 varieties (which generally come complete with far more jerrycans
than any sane person could ever want in several lifetimes), as do several of
the resin manufacturers such as Verlinden. If you're after the smaller drums
and cans, they're available from Accurate Armour and Plusmodel. Scale Link
also used to do a 1914-18 war vintage version - I don't know if they still
list it. Historex used to do 1:30 scale barrels (old-fashioned rope-bound
ones) and Verlinden used to do resin ones (a more modern style, with iron
straps). I hope this helps.

José, all:

I think Kevin already said most of what can be said of the available products. Most have a downside: boxed with a lot of jerrycans, overly expensive or in some cases, both! Here is a link to one of those http://www.missing-lynx.com/reviews/usa/tx0001.htm The set is priced at 16 $ at www.modelmecca.com Thinking of the number of barrels it would take to fill a typical European standard gauge wagon the load could end up with a price tag that equals the wagon itself!

 

I wonder if it wouldn't be more economical to have someone in the group cast a million barrels in resin and sell them to us. Most of us would need barrels and drums on our layouts and be glad not to have to get all the asociated military equipment that are found in most commericially available sets. I come to think of VonStrap or perhaps Per from Denmark could make a living selling oil barrels in resin. Don't know if it's really possible, but I thought I'd better make the suggestion anyway.

 

Regards

Claus

ok Mark ,

ive uploded to files the kato  5t and the 3t locos . look for the
two folders.



Sahoma . Vlad

Mark,

There is a model of a Kato at  http://www1.seaple.icc.ne.jp/nkoizumi/
Perhaps the site owner could help you?

Pictures and a side view plan in Light Railways No 101 Jul 1988 published by
The Light Railway Research Society of Australia.  Also pix of surviving IJN
Kato loco in Bougainville published in Light Railways 64 Apr 1979.
Unfortunately I don't think the loco survived the civil war there.  Well at
least I couldn't find it when I was serving there with peacekeeping force.

Side view plan is of 4 ton model length 10' 3" and height 6' 0".
Unfortunately the dimension on the wheelbase is unreadable.  I can scan plan
and send to you if you can't get a copy of magazine.  Try
http://www.lrrsa.org.au/index.html

Trust this helps.

Can anyone help me with a scale drawing of a Diema D60 6 tonne
Grubenlok.  Unfortunately there is nothing on the Braeutigam Group
website http://braeutigam-gruppe.de/GB/PRODUCTS/Locomotives


Paul Napier

Paul,
Diema Grubenlok or in English a “Pit locomotive “ have not been produced
since the early 1980.    Diema was only in for a short time in the mining a
quarrying business since the market back then was dominated by scoema. So
their locomotives are difficult to fing and the info on them is very rare .


Sorry I wish I could help you.

Vlad,

Thanks for that reply, it explains the situation a little more.  I
have no knowledge of these locos so last night I spent a few hours
searching on the internet. I now realise there were several very
similar locos that were made by different manfacturers; Diema D60 and
D100, Ruhrthaler G90HVE, Duetz GG66B and GG90B, and I think also
Rensmann GG90B.

I'm not so concerned what manfacturer, what I'm actually after are
plans so I can make a model of a 2ft/600mm gauge, diesel engine
powered, two axle loco with cabs at each end suitable for working in
tunnels with very small loading gauge. Ideally 5m long or less with
less than 15t prototype weight.

Any suggestions?

Paul

Thanks to everyone that made suggestions for my
ballast that was too brown.  As you might remember I
was trying to tone down some woodland scenics ballast.
  The suggestions took two directions.  Use gray chalk
to simulate dust or use black wash.  Well using that
information I tried a few things.  I took some black
tempra color, dry paint and spread it like chalk then
sprayed it with water mist.  It did a real nice job of
darkening the ballast like oil or grease had been
spilled.  That will work well for some areas of my
ballast, but not everywhere so I kept trying.  I liked
the gray dust idea, but didn't want to use dry chalk
on all my ballast, it seemed like it would take too
long.  I decided maybe a wash of gray might help.  I
found a note about using a wash of earth color to tone
down ballast and ground foam that was too bright in
one of my scenery books.  I also looked at a color
wheel.  One of the problems with the brown ballast was
that it seemed a little bit red to me.  The color
wheel suggested that I could use green to dull down
red.  So I mixed up some gray green craft paint with
water and washed the track down.  This turned out to
do the trick after I found the right strength.  I
ended up using 10 parts water to one part color and
flowed it on heavily.  The wood ties that were stained
with Campbells tie stain lighted up nicely.  The
ballast took on a dusty look and the green killed the
red tones.  The color seemed to roll right off the
rail.  All in all I am very pleased with the effect.
I still have a few spots to work on to get away from a
color that is too unifrom in a large yard area, but
the effect is really close to what I had in mind.  I
plan to go back and use the black powder paint and
water spray in areas where my engines sit such as in
the yard, under a water tank etc.  Hope you can use
the ideas, thanks for the help....Greg

At http://www.abebooks.com  search "Title: End of the Line" and "Keywords:
New Guinea" for two copies available.

At http://www.alibris.com search "Title: End of the Line" and "Subject: New
Guinea" for a third copy available.

At both sites, you can specify prices in whatever currency you prefer.
