Not much model engineering lately. This is because we participated in some events with our "Märklin train set".
This meant that I had to fabricate a frame to transport the Klappdeckelwagen inside the open goods wagon. Some old fencing planks were useful for this frame.
A simple wooden frame, where the wheels of the Klappdeckelwagen are positioned.
The outer strips are inserted in the open goods wagon first, so that the frame can fit into the wagon without scratching the paint on the inside of the wagon.
It just fits inside the car. Only a centimeter is available to avoid the lamp irons from touching the interior of the car.
Maasoverspoorweg
In the roundhouse of the Maasoeverspoorweg at Barendrecht
All the stuff for a day at the track, stored within the wagons
At Barendrecht, the large turntable is able to take the complete train.
Even taking a passenger along.
Hoedekenskerke
Cab ride T3: 360 degrees view during the ride. (use your mouse to change the viewpoint)
This very nice track is located at the preserved railway Goes-Borsele.
Greasing the locomotive before the run.
In the station.
The view from the passenger seat.
A GWR 14xx next to the T3. I've built a 14xx in 5" gauge. A big engine in 7¼"
A nice track, on which the wagon rides without any problems. The leave springs (lighter than on the other two wagons) do their job.
A German Baureihe 23 in the background.
Turnhout (Belgium)
The T3 becomes a small loco, compared with these two express engines.
The turntable is completely renewed in the lockdown period.
This large track is lovely, with scale rail and wooden sleepers.
A grand replica of the station of old Turnhout.
A large hanging bridge is also part of this track.
Later in the day, we coupled a passenger wagon to the train
The signal box, controlling the tracks towards the station.
At only two years old, Lies is already able to shovel coal on the fire.
She enjoyed the ride!
