David,

Welcome,good bunch here

DB or DR

I am quite surprised at the amount of DR modellers I have come across recently.
Are you considering DCC or staying old fashioned DC/AC.(Sorry not convinced yet on DCC).
If I can be of help

All the best

David

This weeks projects have included repairing a Rivarossi 59 and fitting a Digitrax decoder to it; and rebuilding a DJH DR59 that was not too well made in the first place. What with the Trix Era 1 model, that makes three 2-12-0 locos I've got - does that qualify as a fetish?

If you have a fetish for the BR59,I'am in trouble as I have five DB BR01.10

My HO layout is in the attic and this morning I realised that running 10 locos all fitted with sound can be quite distracting. All thise train noises and then not being able to remember which loc had which adress. Must be going senle.

10 loco,s running all at once

on how many tracks

How do you keep an eye on whats happening

I can run five Loks at once,luckily without sound,but was silly enough to have them all with smoke bellowing out

not pleasant after a few minutes running,

Wonderful hobby

,

All the best,

David

I sympathise with your 01 fixation. I'm just doing a conversion on the Roco 01 to model 01 046one of the locos fitted with a mischvorwarmer. I say just, but the loco has been sitting half done for about 5 years waiting for a bit of inspiration. Still, thats one of the nice things about this hobby

What parts are you using for the 01

as I am very interested in doing the same to a 01.10 pre the rebuild by the DB.
I see weinert do a kit of the unrebuilt 03.10 with the mischvorwarmer,but do not show the unit as a separate part which can be bought as a detailing part

You sound like someone after my own heart

who is not bothered about keeping models box perfect and will modify locos to some degree,

as per the prototype.
I met a modeller in Germany many years ago,who had a very realistic looking fleet of dampfloks (paint jobs)when I picked one up,the hand I had on the boiler was black and grimey

My next task is to fit weinert brass castings of all the plumbing onto my 01.10 locos tenders.
How did you get into german railways

Keep up the good work

Regards

David
