Feldbahnmodule with ship

[fspg2]

Here is the current state of my "Feldbahnmodule with ship". It is a follow-up from my chronicle in bbf.

The bridge module should be as torsion-resistant as possible. In previous modules, I had reached a sufficient stiffness with frames.

Size: 1,5 m x 1,0 m

... Sufficient rigidity?

The new module is about 2.0 meters long and about 0.9 m wide, so that all parts will fit on it.

First bridge shortly after the construction of 1901

Here there is some more information to the original.



After I initially thought about a steel frame, I came by chance on a much easier solution: honeycomb

... no, I do not intend to ask the hard-working little helpers, to give me her glue. :

The principle of the comb is still used in many doors:

So, such a door has been misused!

The principle you can see on the drawing above.


Currently the board is on two sawhorses, it is already so rigid in its current state, as I had hoped ... and it get more adhesions.

Recesses were sawed at the corners for the aluminum legs.

I know this is stunning work because I have been following it on Buntbahn.de forum. But every photo is grey across the bottom third? Anyone else having this problem?

[fspg2]

If I have a slow wireless connection, pictures are gray with me in the lower third sometimes. With LAN connection, all images back to normal.

Wonderful work, I love all the planing involved. Lot's of head scratching I'm sure. Looking forward to watch your progress on this.

Well Frithjof, THAT will really keep you busy ... your building report concerning progress in "Feldbahmodule mit Schiff" in just another forum  (hope it does not keep you away from modelling itself  ) ... but when there is a forum which is worth it, THIS forum is ...  

Kind regards

I like the interlocking bricks at the edges of each wall. Why can't commercial manufacturers do that more often? -- Russ

  More often ? Why can't they do that at all ?

OK - I just tried an experiment. I surf in Safari but tried looking at this thread with Firefox. Same problem except I don't get the grey at the bottom now, I just get a blank area! I notice that the images are being imported into this thread from buntbahn.de which is the only other forum that gives me this grief so I will blame the technology somewhere between buntbahn, the US and Australia in giving me only part of an image. 

Shame really, this work is truly inspiring.

Thank you for starting this thread, I have followed your work and spent a LOT of time admiring it!

Same as Paul, I have read through the pages of your posts on another Forum. Very enjoyable to see, welcome here!

Ian,

The incomplete image seems to be a Mac thing with certain websites .

Try this: open the image in a new tab and click the "reload page" button.  A nuisance, but will usually display the whole image.

Regards,
Dennis

Thanks Dennis - that worked!

Yes a Mac thing. Thank you Mr Jobs! Had never known that workaround but will now use it on buntbahn whenever it happens as well.

I am pleased that you like my posting. It is certainly easier for you if you don´t have to read in the bbf ... and I can improve my knowledge of English a little!

@ Ian Can you see now all the pictures correctly?


Sometimes I use my buiseness tripps in the evening to draw, so I can give the tap-files to the milling machine if I´m back at home. Mostly - but not always - the result looks satisfactory.

Thus was the drawing of the upper lateral sluice stair...

... drawn and converted to milling files within an hour.

The milling of MDF took about an hour, the stairs were ready to install in 35 minutes.

Before gluing the steps, I want to deform them with sandy paper a little bit. They should look like after 60 years of use!

In the deepening between the steps, sand will be glued later .
