Thank you Akos

Your models look really good and bring back memories of travelling in Hungary:


Photo taken by me in March 2005. I think that the station is Budapest Keleti.

I think that your models capture the prototype really well.

*** A really enjoyable thread, thank you.

Superb from start to finish - and wonderful precision in plastic scratch-building! The underframes and drive train structure are truly works of art and miniature engineering too.

Overall, they really capture the prototype look beautifully!

I am looking forward to seeing the final roof detail and windscreen wipers when they are added...

Those really are forming into impressive beasts!!
Am enjoying following their progress.

Hi All

In this weekend it was a litle garden rail competition ..

Akos very impressive work, I truly congratulate you.

I have some questions for you to help us out. We have a very popular diesel electric in Turkey called the DE 24000 of unfortunately there is no model of it . Most modelers scratchbuilt these from a Frateschi U20C .

Prototype;



scratchbuilt model;



My questions are;

1. Is this a kit ?..or did you make all the parts by yourself.

2. If so...what kind of material did you use....Evergreen plastics?

3. What kind of tools did you use ?...specially in making the curved surfaces...the technique of doing it?.....sand filing?

4. The glue used?

Would appreciate your guidance in helping us out.

Once again congrats on a lovely piece of work
