  1. Shooting my shot here for #railway and #ModelRail enthusiast but also #trains junkies over here. Does anyone have any ideas of good places to look for technical drawings of the SCB Ed 2x2/2 or, even better the Landquart-Davos G 2x2/2 "#Scaletta" #SteamLocomotive ??

    The scaletta has an absolute look to it. I found some very basic drawings archive.org/details/Scaletta/p but with the wrong #engine... I got the railstock tho 💗

    I'm following advice I got that steam engines are quite nice to learn cadding (and machining) on because they got a shit ton of easy to model bits and get to more and more complex shapes in a logical fashion, and for machining they are way easier to run than internal combustion stuff so mistakes and hacks won't scrap everything.

    I don't plan on doing any machining tho, I really wanna try my hands at cadding pieces.

    Of course if you have good technical drawings of another engine I'm all for it too💗

  4. #GutenMorgen Fediland. ☕🕖🚂
    Exil.

    Großer Bahnhof im Dörfchen und ich bin nicht dabei: 🥺
    Heute vor 140 Jahren dampfte der erste Zug von #Doberan nach #Heiligendamm.
    Die 94 Jahre alte "99 2321-0" wurde für dieses Jubiläum extra aufgebrezelt und fährt mit ihren alten Nummernschildern ("99 321") und dem Schriftzug "Deutsche Reichsbahn".

    Habt einen schönen Donnerstag.

  9. Did you know our artistic director and founder has been a huge train fan all his life? (His actual first words ever were "choo-choo"!)

    Yesterday, he caught the historic Big Boy No. 4014, the world's largest operating steam locomotive, as it passed through the campus of our troupe's alma mater, Case Western Reserve University, on its journey to the East Coast as part of the United States 250th birthday. The return trip brings it back through Ohio next month, passing through Cleveland again on Monday, July 13 with a bigger event in Fostoria, OH the next day.

    But we're hoping to catch Big Boy's stop in Struthers, OH on July 12 on the way to a storage locker run to prep for our upcoming shows at Pennsic later that month!

  20. Spring is in the air, and soon it will be the ideal time of year to take a ride on the Rasender Roland, a historic narrow-gauge steam railway on the island of Rügen in northern Germany. 💚
    Details:
    • Gauge: 750 mm
    • In operation since 1895
    • Runs mainly between Putbus, Binz, Sellin, Baabe, and Göhren
    • Totally worth it, but be sure to protect your eyes with glasses or sunglasses!
