Hello All,
  I'm new to the group and just wanted to say howdy. I built a 1n22
model of the Guinness diesel and a micro layout (1'x4'). I've been
hunting the net for information on these perky little diesels and
tripped over the FS32NG web site and made it here... I posted some
shots of the engine in progress, I'll update them as time goes on.
  I'm in the process of gathering info. on the Guinness trams and
their larger broad guage cousins to create some drawings and layout
ideas to post. If you are also interested in these engines operations
drop me a line..This isn't the only train stuff messing about in my
head but this one applies here, I'm also dabbling in Gn15, On18, and
standard HO traction.
The Guinness Micro also appears on Carl Arendt's Micro Layout site.

Later,
John Glenn

Claus,

Excellent work, as usual! Keep 'em coming.

Hi all
Since I posted my last message my small loco shed module has progressed
a bit. I spent a lot of time doing the scrap heap behind the loco
shed. Most of my work will proably not be noticed by many, but I will
know it is there! Scrap consists of all sorts of left over bits,
profiles and a few
larger item eg. a one furrow plough. The ferns were made from a set of
etched brass ferns from Part. They worked out fine when planted in a
small lump of Milliput before being put in place behind the shed. I have
a set of sun flowers to plant as well. Check this site to see how my sun

flowers hopefully will end up looking:

Currently I'm working on a small water tower, adjusting my rebuilt PECO
point and before long I should be able to finish the basic scenic work
on
the module. See the new photos on my current status on
http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/gaz410/my_photos choose 'loco shed
module'

I hope your projects are progressing as well, even though the
traditional season for modelling (at least here in the northern
hemisphere) is
drawing to a close.

Regards
Claus, Copenhagen (where the friday wedding of the crownprince and Mary
Donaldson from Australia is already creating horrendous working
conditions)

Wow! Fantastic! Absolutly beautiful. What else is there to
say............................

Cheers,
Tom Yorke

Claus,

I took another look at the junk pictures (after viewing them from the
other list) again and have to ask if you use paint on the "rusted"
metal junk of if you use some type of rusting agent ?

Mike O'Brien

Hi Mike
You ask if I  "use paint on the "rusted" metal junk of if you use some type of
rusting agent ?"

I use only paint and pastel powder to provide a rusty look. First I painted most
of my scrap in Humbrol acrylic matt rust (113). On the parts that was going to
be really rusty I put on a thick layer of paint and stippled it with a stiff
brush while it dried. Afterward I gave the rusty areas a thin wash of rust
coloured oilpaint heavily thinned with terpentine. After this had dried and the
scrap was positioned, glued and 'built into the surroundings' most items were
given a dusting with ground up pastel chalk.

In my opinion the effect caused by rusting agents are very difficult to control
and not seldom do the result look somewhat overscale (to my eyes at least).

And by the way - the expertly made sun flowers are not my work - but a Norwegian
armour modeller's - too bad as the look really good. I will try to mimic his
work.

Hope this explains how I did the rust.

Regards

Claus

Group,

for all of you who are interested in Oberursel locomotives,
there is a nice book ( in german language ) featuring this little
engines:
Die Merk'sche "Kleinbahn" - Auf schmaler Spur in der chemischen Fabrik
1901 -1960 )( The Merck light railway - on the narrow gauge in the
chemical factory). Published in 2002 by the author, Berthold
Matthaeus. 112 pages softbound. Size 20 by 30 cm. ISBN3-9805727-4-9.
The author describes the 60 cm-gauge railway system, that served the
departments of the Merck chemical factory at Darmstadt/Germany (near
Frankfurt/M) in the first 6 decades of the last century. It was
operated with an sheduled timetable (only goods traffic).
Motive power was by 6 Oberursel and Oberursel-Deutz IC engines, some
of them equipped with an Diesel-engine in their late days.
There were about 350 cars (skips, flats, even some tiny two-truck
covered waggons and homemade tiny tank-waggons).
Dozens of photos not only show the engines and the rolling stock, but
the vintage chemical factory as well! Looking at the pictures, the
Merck light railway cries to be modelled!
Author Berthold Matthaeus has added scale Drawings of all the engines
(scale 1:32) of the different kinds of engines and some generic types
of rolling stock.
I have posted some pictures from the book in the photos section
(Merck light railway).
The book should be available by Karl Pascarb at
www.schmalspurverlag.de (Price about 18 EUROs + shipping/handling).
You can contact Karl at Karl.Paskarb@... .

Regards
Hartwig

Fellas:

This book is available (or at least was ...) in the U.S. from Mike
Decker of Decker's trains.  Sorry, I don't have his address handy, but
he does have a website.  That's where I got my copy.  The pictures are
all in English BTW   <G>

I especially loved all the photos of the little tank cars and such.
Worth the price just for that!  I thought it a fascinating industrial
railway book.

Bill Wilson
Wazoo Island Ry.

I have the book, too, and it is fascinating. The author works for Merck and
has acces to the archives, so he really knew what he was writing about. I
would never have thought that a chemical works had such a large 60cm
network.
There is another book by the same author about quarry railways, "Feldbahnen
der Odenwälder Hartsteinindustrie". As a modelling theme, quarry railways
are more conventional, but the book still has lots of vintage photographs.

Kind regards, Herbert Fackeldey

Hi,

there´s one thing i´ll have mention: The Merck light railway is with a
safety of 99% a 500mm railway. The author Berthold Matthäus has done a
little flyer in which he writes about his new informationen. And all
this brings him to the result thaz the railway was 500mm.

60cm gauge Field Railways from the beginning up to
1918). This book is in large format, hardbound, 220
pages with about 450 photos.  It shows all the types
of steam locos for 60cm gauge, plus the first diesel
locos (Oberursel/Deutz/Montainia), all rolling stock,
pre-WW 1, including training (building trestle bridges
for example), and the operation during the war on all
fronts, France, Balkan-states, Russia, Poland, and all
others.

2) Die Brigadelokomotiven der Deutschen
Heeressfeldbahnen im Ersten  Welkrieg - Book and book
list on the  0-8-0 Brigadelok locomotive

3) Motorenfabrik Oberursel AG: "Oberurseler

Try Mike Decker of Decker's Trains.  He has (or has had) some of these

I don't have the address handy, but a quick search should turn it up.
That's where I got my copies.
Good stuff, even though I don't read German.

In the photo section in the Moote Point directory there is a photo
entitled "On Shed". In that photo there is a yellow gas electric
locomotive. Does anyone have information on this locomotive? Was it a
kit or kitbashed from something else? It is exactly what I am looking
for. Correct me if I am wrong but it is 3/8n20 right?

Oh and by the way hello to the group. I am new here. After several
years away from narrow gauge I am getting back into it.

Thanks,

Randy Bachmann
Turner Junction, IL

Randy:

I didn't go back to the files to check the photo you're asking about,
but if it's the Moote Point Ry, then it's one of the two  locos I built
for that layout.

The Moote Point was originally my first Wazoo Island Ry layout. (3/8n20)
I sold it to my friend Grover  when I built the New Wazoo, this time in
1/2n18.  Quite a few photos of that layout can be found in the files of
the Yahoo Extra Narrow Gauge Group. The "critter" in question was
scratch built on a Bachmann On30 Porter chassis.  I also built a 0-4-0
steam  loco on the same  chassis.  I don't know if I have any surviving
photos of it to post.  I'll have to check later.  Grover Might be able
to add more photos, but he travels almost constantly, so don't expect
them very soon.

I'll be more than happy to send addiditonal info if you need it.   But,
I'll be working from memory there.

Bill Wilson
1/2n18 Wazoo Island Ry.
7/8n24 Mattole Valley Ry.

Hi Bill,

Thank you for the response. It looked like it might be the Bachmann
Porter chassis. I am very interested in how the body was made. Did
you scratchbuild it? Any information you might dig up would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Randy

Randy:

Yes, the superstructure was mostly scratch  built.  I did use a cast
metal hood and base plate from an English kit I already had.  Can't
recall the name of the model or manufacturer any more ... sorry.  I
remember I did get it from International Hobbies in Placerville (Ca.)
though.  The cab was entirely scratched.  The drive was "out of the
box", except I removed the main rods which went to the cylinders.
The whole thing was really not a hard conversion BTW.

Additionally, friend Charley Lix was building 1/32nd models at the same
time, using the Porter mechs also.  You might want to look up the
Exelsior Estate folder in the groups files.  I know he posted some
photos of his doings there.  Can't remember the name of his loco, but he
made his entirely out of brass.

Bill Wilson

Bill, Randy .


The hood is from a WWI baldwin  critter made by Backwood miniatures of UK
in On30 .


Hope this Helps .

No,  the hood was from a British prototype loco.  I remember that much
for sure.  I'm thinking it was made by Wrightlines, but not positive.
It does look somewhat like a German  loco tho ......  Still looking for
more photos of the model.  My filing system is darn near non-existant!

Bill,
> No,  the hood was from a British prototype loco.

I'm quite familiar with critters from UK and might be A early hunset .

   I'm thinking it was made by Wrightlines,

It is possible since Wrightlines make most of the 0n30 UK based critters

Are you serous ?

The latest catalog from Model Expo has a small stern trawler for $40, called
Mare Nostrum from Artesiana Latina.  It is 16.5" long and described as an
entry level kit.  It looks quite nice and I'm thinking I might use it in a
low-tide scene laying partially on it's side against a dock.  It could also
be cut as a waterline model and probably modified into other formats, such
as a small harbor tug.

Their website is www.modelexpo-online.com, but I would wait a few days
before trying it.  A couple of days ago I went there and McAfee said they
were trying to send a trojan.  I ended up calling and they admitted the
problem and said a new server had been ordered.

Phone is (800) 222-3876.

Hi all
In the past many has sought a supplier for windows and doors. Almost all have
pointed toward Grandt Line. Recently I visited an exhibition in Germany
http://www.ig-modellbahn-schkeuditz.de/gaba04start.htm and found some very nice
laser cut wooden window frames. While I still have to find use for the ones I
bought, they look very good and adaptable. The wood is highly flexible and
sturdy and allows you to easily adapt the window frame to any building. See for
yourself:
http://www.eisenbahn-modulbau.de/catalog/default.php?cPath=75&osCsid=f83ccfd

I will post a photo of the type of frame I bought as it doesn't seem to be on
the site. I hope to be able to incorporate the windows in a large wooden
building that could contain a gravel sorting facility - but as the demands on
space outstrips my current and unfortunately also my soon to come future
housing, it will be a very long term project!

For those of you that are also building in larger scales than 1:35 note that
laser cut kits for several German covered wagons are also available. See
http://www.walliwinsen.de/gartenbahn/

In just three days I will be on my three weeks summer vacation. After getting
married this spring and having been on honeymoon, this holliday will be spent in
a quiet summer cottage. I have two modelling projects planned: A Faun truck (to
pull my trailer/excavator) and a French military flat - 9 m. long (an impressive
25 cm. long in 1:35). I hope to be back in three weeks time with photos of my
progress. Have a nice summer!

Claus, Denmark

Hi all
Back at work after three weeks hollyday I can claim one project finished and an
other near completion. I have finished the Pechot wagon with it's load - a light
French FT-17 tank and tried to terminate a long running project - a heavy load
trailer with excavator pulled by a Faun-lorry.
Unfortunately the Faun is not a very good kit. (Resin kit from German Elite
Modell). Much work has gone into it, but now my work is almost over. The
complete lash-up will be 65 cm. (over 2 ft.) in length and I plan to mount it on
a diorama. One day it may fit in on a 1/35 layout?

I have uploaded photos of  the Faun-progress to my Yahoo photopage -
http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/gaz410/my_photos see the file Faun ZRS. I'm
looking forward to your comments.

Earlier in the summer I got my loco shed module almost finished. I participated
in a exhibition in Germany and made frantic efforts to finish the small module
before the show. I barely succeded, but could work a bit at the show. So now the
module is landscaped all over. Grass is a mix of Heki and Woodland Scenics
products. The water tower is scracth built from wood and a plastic tube once
containing candy - Smarties - kindly donated by my daughter. Detailed with some
plastic wrapping, rivets and bolts it's origin has all but disappeared. The
module now needs shrubbery, bushes and a tree. I'm currently working on the
tree. The shed needs a new roof and I have to get to grips with interior lights
as well.

That's all for me this time - how about your projects?


Regards Claus, Copenhagen, 25 degrees C.

Claus, what exceptional modelling!! I enjoyed looking at all your
pictures enormously. The level of detail and crispness is amazing and an
encouragement to everyone. I'll try to post some of my own 1:35 scale
efforts on the site, but they won't come up to this standard.
Incidentally - is the side dump wagon based on the Grandt Line plastic
kit? It looks familiar.

Les.

Hi Claus,

Your fantastic pictures you link to below, is just the type of inspiration
one needs all year around, when one found itself without.... Only thing I
made on my vacation was a small lighthouse keepers cabin, and it was not
even finished...

Even if I have left 3/8" scale and moved to Hn21, your pictures are still of
the kind I would like to be able to present myself in the future...

One question, on the picture 98fa.jpg titled "Claus in Schkeuditz", you have
a laptop on the desk. Whats the site-address on that page? Is it your
homepage? Looks interesting.

Sorry to get on my hobby-horse but Clauses pictures have reminded me
just what can be achieved in this scale and recently there seems to have
been a major shift in interest away from 1:32/1:35 scales to 1:24 scale,
i.e. GN15, HN18 etc. etc.

Indeed, I have been guilty of this over the past 2 years myself but I
have retained my interest in 1:35 principally because I can model larger
prototypes as well as the "cuter" stock in the larger scale/smaller
gauges and still get real character in figures and lots of detail.

Also I can tell myself that 1:35 on 16.5mm track approximates to
2ft/600mm, which gives me a huge amount of prototype material to choose
from. Each scale has its place, and this hobby is all about fun,
relaxation  and creativity at the end of the day so I mustn't get too
wound up and serious about it, but have any others noticed this trend?

A case in point is the relatively low level of posting on the FS32NG
group compared with the large amount of activity on the GN15 etc.
groups. It would be nice to see a 1:32 scale revival, which started so
well  a few years ago with Messrs Bantock and Lantz producing whitemetal
kits and layouts like Portpyn and several beautifully crafted European
layouts and dioramas inspiring everybody. Has everyone migrated
up-scale?

Les.



>>> clni@... 04/08/04 09:09:58 >>>
Henrik, Les, All
Thanks for the nice words. Les: I would very much like to see your
models in 1/35 and I'm sure the rest of the population in the two groups
would as well. It's easy to tell we are in a scale where most stuff has
to be scratchbuilt - not too many finished models showing up. And yes:
The wooden dump car is built on the basis of the Grandt Line kit. You
can read my small article on the rebuilding here:
<http://www.ozbob.net/1in35ng/> http://www.ozbob.net/1in35ng/ simply
choose articles.

Henrik: I don't have a website - the screenshots you could recognize on
the photos from Schkeuditz were part of a powerpoint slideshow I made
while on hollyday in Spain. It made my contribution to the exhibition a
bit more interactive as my module didn't provide much operational
interest. As I didn't compress the photofiles the slideshow is a huge
file and probably not fit for upload or mailing unless you have a very
highspeed connection and a large mailbox. Unfortunately my knowledge on
computers is somewhat limited - especially when it comes to photos. I
saw your most informative website, very nice and your little cabin looks
good as well! The Black Beetle motorbogie - does it run good? Better
than Tenshodos? What is the wheel diameter?

Today I have added a few photos of the finished French Pechot-wagon.
Too bad the kits are so hard to get. Mine came all the way from the US
(well traveled kits indeed!) thanks to Bill, US and Gerrit, Belgium.

Regards
Claus
