This should be a required video for those who decide to paint a backdrop. It is sad but true, many great model railroads have been ruined by poorly executed backdrops. And my rule of thumb is, if you don't have at least half the talent of Bob Ross to paint, then don't. There are way too many examples of backdrops that look like they were painted by a grade schooler.

Die Lokomotive BR 52 hat es so leider nie gegeben. Diese Maschine wurde kriegsbedingt aus der BR 50 entwickelt, genauer entfeinert. Alles, wirklich alles, was irgendwie durch andere Materialien ersetzt werden konnte, wurde ersetzt, oder weggelassen. Die Lokomotiven waren schwarz und nicht grau lackiert, die Scheinwerfer abgedeckt und es gab KEINE Windleitbleche. Die kamen ers nach dem Krueg wieder dran. Als Nachbau. Selbst der Reichadler, den gab es nicht am Führerhazs. Die Loknummer war auf allen Seiten nur aufgemalt. Das ist hier richtig wiedergegeben. Der Steifrahmentender wurde in Wien- Floridsdorf produziert und passt für eine österreichische Lok. Diese fuhren aber so auch im Reichsgebiet und nach dem Krieg zurückgelassen, in vielen Ländern Europas. Der Fehler liegt hier bei Revell. Die haben schlecht recherchiert. Auch die Kuppelstangen des Antriebes sind falsch. Die müssen beidseitig um 30Grad versetzt sein. Sonst fährt die Lok einfach nicht. Das Diorama ist aber trotzdem gelungen. 🛤️🛠👍

Wunderschön umgesetzt. Einzig die Schiffe sind eher N sacale. Es passt aber trotzdem, weil so wird räumliche Tiefe suggeriert. Hervorragende Arbeit. Like me🛤️🛠🤩👍👍👍

Hello Bernie. First time visitor today and wondering, with all of your Civil War railway knowledge, maybe you could solve a mystery...See Abdill's "Civil War Railroads" and Page 102. The locomotive 'President' working the ballast train at City Point. The tender was working reversed coupled and I can't figure what the problem could have been for that to have been a solution. Thank you, John Haines

Your comment about 1/72nd European railcard being unavailable caught my attention. A gentleman in the UK has built a layout called Operation Overlord depicting a port on the South Coast of England in the build up to D-Day. He's also printed French and Belgian cars in 1:76 (British 00 gauge)
@BernardK6 ай бұрын
That layout uses HO 1/87th scale track with 1/76th scale trains. That is British OO scale. Our locomotive model is actual 1/72nd scale. So HO track is too narrow.
