Just getting the handle on this computer stuff and finding out just how good it can be.
Have been a modeller for far to long,started with BR southern region in the early 1960's and then moving to German HO when my relatives give me Fleischmann as presents and I have never looked back.
At present I have a 6M x 2.5M layout project based on Wuppertal Elberfeld DB Epoch III,as shown on my website.
I still have much to do.
Wonderful hobby.

Regards

David

This computer stuff is wonderful! I feel like a kid with a new toy.
Have loaded two videos of my trains on my website as a bit of fun.
Honest I will grow up a sum point?

Dennis,
I had a look at one but at around £1000 Its a bit rich for me.

QUOTE (BRITHO @ 3 Apr 2007, 16:50) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Just as a further point,

I think all loco manufacturers turned out locos in workshop or "photographic" grey. it was always a matt finish with wheels and buffer beams in gloss. It gave good tonal quality and being a flat finish did not reflect light.

John

Both correct.

Cheers,

David

It's a Liliput Austria model.
I know an updated version is available, but I have not seen the grey one for a long time.

Sorry that should have read:- I don't know if a updated version is available.

It suffered from the steam pusher effect in the tender and has had a japanese replacement motor

But glad to say it runs even sweeter now

I notice some on Ebay from time to time,but please be wary if you take this route to getting one.

All the best,

David
