34.jpg 35.jpg We were so happy to visit places we have known for a long time once again! We visited an observation tower of St. Petri Church. Luckily, the weather was wonderful: 36.jpg 37.jpg 38.jpg 39.jpg 40.jpg After a very pleasant promenade across the Old Town, we decided to return back to Trav...

24.jpg Station area contains one more building – apparently, a former warehouse for storing goods unloaded from the freight cars. Although no any signs left, it looks like a sideline track was here in the past: 25.jpg 26.jpg Once again, a typical desolation view can be seen from the platform: 27.jp...

One more Z scale locomotive got external equipment - it is possible now to enhance SJ RCx electric locomotives by Freudenreich with brake disks. The disks are made of 0.15 mm photo-etched CuNi19 alloy. Prototy...

Hi friends, Along with replenishing many sold out articles, I added more types of loads in order to widen the assortment further. First of all, I produced new pipe loads for type Snps 719 double-stacked flatcar. New load features single metal tube with large diameter. It can be a good addition to al...
