My coal mine scale 1:22.5

[Design-HSB]

Hello,

voiced by the health break, we go from here finally.

As you can see I could already see an exhibition.


Visitors Stromberg 2012.


But this is not under construction, new tripod especially interested here, but what you will see in the next picture.

The stand consists of the remainder of tube sections 1, 1.5 and 2 mm in diameter.
All other small parts including the thumb screw on the top emerged tiller.


Yes the monastery stollen We now controlled with the Z 21 from the Ipad.

As a special advantage I see the opportunity not only to be able to wirelessly control the vehicles, but also at the same time, a visual user interface for all my support special functions.

The full course would also work with a cell phone or other tablet computers.

The photo gives a good idea of the size of the diorama and, therefore, of the models. Much of what you do is very small and that makes it even more impressive.

The people in the photo look slightly younger and more fit than the typical American narrow gauge hobbyist.

I couldn´t be there at the show in Stromberg unfortunately, but as Helmut was still a few days longer there on vacation, I could see many of the details at his Klosterstollen.
At the pictures things look huge ... but in reality scale 1: 22.5 is rather small

What type of material are you using to make the ladder assembly jig from? I see you can silver solder on it with out it burning up.

So now I want yet to even show a better picture of the ladder.

Hi Bill,

No, the ladder is only soft soldered and served as a base a wood fiberboard.
I got bored of the ladder rungs, 1 mm holes in the wire bars.
Therefore, the sprouts also keep only soft soldered.

If I with silver hard solder I use a fireclay brick.



The parts I have not soldered secure a little gypsum.
After soldering with the flame I'll give a little water on the red-hot stone and this simply disintegrates.

Thank you Helmut,

I was hoping you used something that cpu;d be machined and yet used for silver soldering. I amusing a compressed material used as a liner in wood stoves.  It si about 3/4" thick.  It is soft enough to stick pins into for jigging but a bit too much crumbly to machine.  It does drill well.

Hi Bill,
which seems to be a very interesting material from which you report.
Unfortunately, this material is unknown to me and I would like to know more.

Hello,

in the meantime I was able to finish the shell of my lamp stand out as much as 35 self-made items.



Now just fill in the LED's, the wiring and painting.

Helmut the material looks like soft firebrick it is crumbly but good for soldering, it can be shaped with coarse metal files easily for special applications regarding soft or hard soldering.

Wonderful job on the lamp tripod and lamps.

Hello mine train fan's,

I am delighted to see you all on a little virtual driveway invite in my Model Monastery tunnel can.

It goes to the entrance here.

The film is a single from the film by Niklas Petau taken on Nussa 2012th

This entire project, from concept to execution, is amazing. The video puts it all together impressively. -- Russ

Beautiful!  The detail and delicacy of that tripod lighting rig is amazing.  -- Dallas

Well done! Nice to see everything in motion.

[Wesleybeks]

I love that spotlight tri pod. Very well done.

Thanks to a suggestion by Gil I started my track construction.
There should be a 5 m track with grooves thresholds in scale 1:22,5.
The track width of 600 mm results in my model 26.7 mm.
The model rail profile is S10 = Code 125 = 3.2 mm.

The grooves are thresholds of Thomas Engel.
First the etched sheet is then pressed in a mold to the profile.

But I attach importance to the electrical isolation of the rails.
The track will be used as a solid programming track for DCC on my layout.
That's why I glued a position of a tissue from the bottom of the rail profile.
The mounting brackets are machined from plastic and screwed tight with 0.6 m bolts and nuts.
