A link to 2 pages of photos I took of some old and decaying workshops in Berlin. (I will definitely be using these as an example for my next building build).

Very nice pictures, Marc. But why do you try to let us believe you went to Berlin to shoot them. Everybody in this forum knows perfectly well you've just shot one of Chuck's hidden models.

I suspect either:  (a) Marc really has been travelling to see Mr. Ackle ... or (b) he's gotten some secret photos from same ... cuz those look more like Marcel's models to me!   Grin

   Marc,

   
   I am looking forward to your impressions of the rest of the cities you will visit.
   That first set looks like Nick's buildings, maybe the same architect ? Wink

   have a good time.

Here are 4 more pages of pics...just a bunch of misc. old stuff that caught my eye, some for modeling reference and some for work reference.

Dallas: unfortunately due to the schedule, I was unable to meet up with Jacq., Marcel, Marc Thielkas, and Nick......it was really too bad, hopefully next time.

 Bit of a waste of time and money coming over if you couldn't shedule a meeting with Jacq , Marcel or Marc . ( I don't count , because my schedule wouldn't have permitted me to meet either ) . In fact , I don't know why you bothered making the trip at all !

 If you come back to Blighty in November you'll be able to meet Jacq , Marcel and myself all at the same time as they are both bringing their layouts to Warley this year . This will make it worth the bother for me to make the one and a half hour trip to the show and worth the effort of fighting through hundreds of sweaty people to see them .

Nick,

that is interesting and would make a fun little model Wink

I'm presuming it is some form of compressor, built on a cut down skip frame?

Any more pics?

It is indeed a compressor built , if I remember what I was told correctly, in about 1936 in Dusseldorf .
