This is my first post on buntbahn. I apologize for not writing German, i can read it but writing it is very difficult.
From an old LGB Stainz I made a Backer & Rueb steam tram. It is the first ever locomotive I built. It is made of plasticard, mostly 2 mm for strength. The engine and drive gear are a ‘heuler’ (very old LGB), the chassis is also from the Stainz as is the boiler and chimney. The rest is made by myself.
I read this forum for a few years now and I am highly impressed by the master level of modeling I see here. No where my work matches what I see here but it is good to see what others are building to learn new things!
I’ll continue in English. Yes the wagons are RTM. The closed van was a LGB 4033 Chiquita wagon which I rebuild to this closed van. If interested I’ll post some pics of this rebuild?
The open wagons are subject to a future project, I want to remove the brake platforms as the RTM did not use brake platforms.
als RTM Fan kann ich auch das Buch "De TRAM van Oud naar Goud" empfehlen.
Da sind sehr viele Zeichnungen drin. Ich habe mir das Buch letzten Sommer beim Besuch im Museumsshop vor Ort gekauft. Eine CD mit historischem Filmmaterial liegt ebenfalls bei. Das Buch ist auf Niederländisch. Auch wenn ich das nicht sprechen kann so kann man mit etwas technischem Verständnis den Sinn der Texte trotzdem gut erfassen.
