Thank you Raymond, yes , that is the proper work for spending the free time after work. The progress here goes fast , but it dooes not show the unsuccessful issues in the development, but the good thing is , the experience from that, goes into the next one
Long time ago , i was here, now i am back and i want to share with you my new project, the former models were UP 9000 , Centennial, and Turbines. This is the first time i go with a full metal chassis and a drive frame completely build on my own. During building , i changed over to full cast drivers, a small companie makes the casting for me from a model i have send them. I decided also to fully suspend the drivers and add some ballbearings, build also a tool to press and quarter the drivers. worth to mention, i have no milling maschine, only an old lathe, a bench drill, some files a saw and some common hand tools . Now i am working with the DCS components to install. stay tuned , hope you enjoy it. Carsten
Hello Royale yes it is wonderful model- hopefully MTH brings out a rerun oft it have seen a model in Nuremburg at there Booth .As Jerry stated the prices are going crazy
Yes i am very happy with my steamers but it is getting much harder these days to get some of the older MTH stuff for reasonable price so i hope they last long and makes pleasure.
i have found a like new one here in Germany from big dealer in used g-scale items .I had no luck with ebay so i was very happy to find one here. It has some issues with lost engine id but with the great help of Raymond i was able to fix it. Thanks to all of you help. Last weekend we mkae some movies with my MTH fleet- when we are ready with cutting the films i will share it .
I am looking to purchase a new or second hand MTH Big Boy. No special roadnumber if anyone is looking to depart with it. You can contact me at yoakam@freenet.de Thank You. Carsten / Germany
