Layout Design / Re: New layout room and thus new old layout

It was great to have you here last weekend Kevin! Took a while but finally you made it to here! Thank you for that!

I've have been spending time on this project.
Slowly and carefully getting the Adler brass coal bunker to fit the Weinert white metal
tender body.
Getting there.

Weinert cast white metal tender body.
This coal bunker is lower and looks closer to all the photos that I could find of this loco.
Needs some modifications, but I'm sure that I'll get it to fit.

nightmare.
So back to the drawing board.
Now I have mounted it directly to the separate outer frame via a small piece of styrene, this allows me to remove the
wheels later to do maintenance.

some progress on this loco.
Currently helping a friend with his layout so less time for my own projects.
I finally dismantled the tender completely so that I could figure out how to fit the cast white metal
bogie frames made for Roco to a Fleischmann tender.
My first idea was to make these plastic mountings with the holes to sick in the bogie frame.
