Narrow Gauge The Netherlands

Very nice. 

Thanks, I do more pictures in time.

I am an On3,5 modeller, Qld. Gov. Railways, but have always had an interest in the KNI-Spoorweg in Sumatra and Java, especially the Winthertur built 1-6-1 T engins used in Sumatra.

Do you have access to drawings etc tobuild such a model loco?  I build everything from the track upwards, as there are very few suitable 1:48 scale Parts, although Bachmann does make a few Baldwin On30 Locos of a design used in QGR in the 1880s to 1920s.

These can be Regauged  (Spoorweit) to 22mm correct for 3ft 6inch (1.067m).

My knowledge of the Dutch language is limited to Nederlandse Wuurwapen by Martin & DeVries; but Railway Dutch will be a new challenge.

Stock cars I like them very mutch this one is scratch build from old Tomalco drawings (Trout Creek) I did also box cars.

Welcome!!

Very nice work!!

ED3945, excellent work!

That is the standard I am working towards. Is your model built to Proto:48 standards?

Doc AV

Your scenery, weathering, & modeling work is fantastic!  Thanks for sharing your work with us.     D.

It is not proto 48 standards but what I have normal what you can buy. I'm happy what it is for me is the ambiance of the yard or the hobby so realistic as possible that is what I want to achieve.

Thanks all more pictures of the rocks and trees and the Rotary build almost scratch.

These models from 2016 of Precision models are far the best I ever seen I only have one I hope for more of the beautiful PSC models but they are rare....

Your modeling is spectacular! Or spectaculair! Mooi! Uitstekend!

Wow  Superb work there.

If you have a free moment, could you edit post #1? Make the photos large? Edit, Scroll to photo file boxes, look for blue text "insert photo into text"... choose "insert large" (or choose medium, or choose small. These are other choices  versus large only when you are first loading the files and clicking the tiny "insert" box)

The photo viewer doesn't always work for every system. Neither does my copy/paste today to enable me to paste the file url here myself.
