The 4 Railroads Project. (4-Bahnen Projekt)

[pianoforte]

Thanks for all likes and comments.
The third part of the 4-railway project the Rhaetian Railway (RhB), has now been completed. The overhead line was tensioned and the first test railcar was allowed on the line.
Now I'll start on the 4th and last part, the Rio Grande narrowgauge line in 0n3.















to be continued.

Congrats, Adi! Yet another milestone for your project! The grass grows nicely.!

Nice work. I am a huge railroad fan also. I've had a layout plan in mind for 15 years ! I just cant be involved in so many different subjects. If I were 20 years younger Id start a layout in Fine Scale and we know that's many years worth of work. Keep up your great work.

Very nicely done. I'm a big fan of the RhB.

My Railcar is just a wee bit bigger than yours.

Simply fantastic Jan, what a beautiful model.

Brilliant, Adi. So many skillsets need to come together to create that scene!

Yet another milestone for your magnificent project!
The grass looks great

Now I have started the 4th and last part of my 4-railway project, the Rio Grande narrow-gauge railroad in 0n3. As a special feature, I wanted to incorporate a Howe pony truss bridge that I have built about 20 years ago. The original wooden bridge still exists and spans the Hermosa creek on the Durango to Silverton museum route.
This bridge should now be given an approptiate place.

That bridge with its tie rods, nuts and nails looks impressive, Adi. I like that construction very much.
Regards, Peter

Track construction is progressing and the site has been pre-filled. Then I did a test spread to observe the effect.

Lovely modelling. Beautiful.

Very nice, I think you have captured the scene in in the book.

Great looking work, the bridge will look great with some narrow gauge cars or engine on it.

Wow, that is such a realistic representation, Adi! The timber looks aged, what kind of wood/treatment have you used?

Hello Jim, back then I used relatively cheap wooden slats, I think even spruce. I then treated them with Floquil paints. That was over 30 years ago.

Hi Adi, just came across your railroad models here and i must say WOW very realistic. So glad I found this log and will try to keep up with it.

A bit of an asides ... I used to work for a German defence industry company and one of the things my engineers would always worry about is the envelope all must comply with. Railroads, tunnels, etc. And even transporters and all the size limitations. So fun to see your drawing in an earlier post, showing the gauge etc.
