DB class 218 number 218 499-2 racing through the snow on the Teckbahn to Oberlenningen. I’ll write a full post on this journey soon. I’d make this my banner picture if it would only fit.
The colour version is here, but I prefer it in black and white.

I’ve not posted for a while- mostly because I had some dental work done with a general anaesthetic, which put me off modelmaking for a bit. However, I was able to get the Westerooge diesel finished enough to be presentable…

The van is coming together: the bogies are now properly fixed, the “bodge” referred to last week having been replaced by self-tapping screws (thank you Chris Krupa and Steve Bennet for pointing out the obvious solution), the ends are approximately vertical and properly attached, and the sides will be built over the next week.

Gotcha… A trio of DD51’s showing three livery variations in Yokkaichi.
Yokkaichi is not a pretty place: it’s a port city where oil tankers offload, and seems to be largely composed of refineries. What it does have is a large yard where you are very likely to see DD51’s. I can see that this won’t make [...]

Nagoya region has lots of DD51’s. Unfortunately they were still being secretive last week, so all I got was the occasional glimpse: I saw two shoot past on a tank train and a red one was prowling behind wagons in Yokkaichi.

Tomorrow we head off to the hills to visit some of my wife’s relatives. We’re going by train, naturally, so expect a few more pictures. In my continued quest for modern narrow gauge I’m hoping to get some shots of the tilting diesel and electric MUs that run into the mountains. I travelled [...]

Yesterday was a bit brighter, so I spent some time experimenting and taking model pictures with the card background. For (many) more views click on the picture. I was trying out different ideas for lighting and camera settings. That’s my excuse anyway.
