Hi Weather.
I really like the conical light imitation shown in the first picture. You gave me a good idea.

Sincerely, Laci1959

Hello.
Glad to hear, You've got some new good idea.
I wonder, do You mean spotlights on platform with semi-transparent modeled cones, or locomotive's sphere of light effect, coming through "cab"?

Yes, I mean the reflectors on the platform with semi-transparent modeled cones.
We will do the same.

Hello, Dietmar.
Thanks a great for these pictures:
Deutche big steamers were a miracle for me, since youth.
Some of their H0 models were seen in modelist's shop, but were impossible expencive.
So, these beautyful giants, having bright-red with white, ideal-clear rolling gear have became a dream.

Much later, my colleague appeared to be collectioner of H0 stock, so visiting him, I could see these fragile models very close.
Like Wupper Express-12 super-route as well.

Hello,
here are some more winter shots of the big 3-cylinder DB pacifics. These engines are my favorites (in real life, HO scale and the sim). They began as streamlined engines in the 1940's, and got new boilers in the 50's. Some of the 01.10 engines (011 coal, 012 oil from 1968 on). The 03.10 class didn't survive long enough to get computer numbers. Here they are on the GR Emsland route.
