These drives allow an unobstructed view of the interior.

The base would be a floor I designed for state of the art coreless motor trucks from Halling. (Austria).

Is there any appetite for "ready to run" HO scale Interurbans? It would come with a price tag, but perhaps not as much as you may think.

Our HO scale Cincinnati Curved Side car is now available in wide range of colors.

Lehigh Valley Transit had four Cincinnati Curved Side cars for their Easton Limited, modernized in a fancy way. I have two, for a short time, one will soon leave the property for his new owner. (This is HO scale)

The N scale elements are full Kato compatible. (Actually, was never made for sale)

As I was asked about my street track: it is basically like Kato N scale UniTram. Filament printed, with flex track inserted. I started to make Unitram clones, and then upscaled this to HO scale, or even O

Yours truly made this 😇

Some final engineering work on the HO scale Baldwin-Westinghouse Class B locomotives. "Pre-production" samples came out very well.

With some (special) PLA, on my Prusa Mk4 with 0.25 mm nozzle. (Requires knowledge, intuition, time, and also a bit of luck)

(Of course this is N scale) #Nscale #LehighValleyRR

I couldn't refuse to color print this livery on one of these LV 900 series cars. The livery suits them well. Those cars had no skirts, unlike the "Black Diamond" cars. Few years later, after WWII, all were painted plain red anyway.

The "Black Diamond" wasn't his preferred design. Few years earlier he has made this orange and black livery for the Lehigh Valley "Asa Packer" train (Packer was a local railroad tycoon). But the Lehigh Valley got cold feet and abandoned the orange for red/black when the "Black Diamond" was restyled.

The ghost of Otto Kuhler showed up again recently. He said he was happy with my Lehigh Valley RR "Black Diamond" car. He flattered me, thus I knew he wanted something more: The striking "Asa Packer" livery

I am not always so persistent

There were times when I progressed slowly, and there were times when there was no progress at all.
Now it's coming together, and I will expose it first time to the public in Munich in June

How long I am working on the Indianapolis Traction Terminal HO scale model? 10 years to date, exactly.
In fact, I never really thought to built it. But on March 8, 2016, I made a trial on a laser cutter in a Berlin Fab Lab, and then there was no way back.

I agreed immediately, and this morning I made a new carbody. Fortunately this is a modular design, built much like a reduced MTL heavyweight, so many parts could be swapped. The ill-fated first attempt will be primed and spray painted, old style.

But he was very annoyed that I messed his Lehigh Valley Black Diamond design. I made the letterboard black instead of red. He asked me to change it, otherwise his eternal peace may be compromised.

This night, the ghost of Otto Kuhler showed up in my dreams, and he talked to me (he spoke German, he is German born like me). He was very pleased that I was working with his railroad designs, instead of those of this arrogant and impertinent Frenchman Raymond Loewy.

Diamonds can drive you crazy. I made one, color printed, it was like making diamonds from coal, with 16 manual color swaps: A streamstyled Lehigh Valley 900 series car in the striking Otto Kuhler prewar livery. Now just don't ask how about motive power. Doing the car was already a crazy idea

The third version is just an orange/yellow free lance livery that I had assigned to the very first test car.

All models are full color printed. But I confess that I painted the roofs. It happens, sometimes.
