I would like to introduce to my model "Klosterstollen" here.
My role model is a former coal mine, the decades after its closure, as a new visitor mine emerged.
So I have a real role model, in the immediate vicinity, of where I live.
Also, it looks to date from my point of view not as romantic as some years ago.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2Fberggl03.jpg&hash=f073af70adfc8183522e5f8187227cb30422fdc6)
This is thus the idea for my model on a scale of 1:22.5.
So I would start with the current progress at my "Klosterstollen" monastery tunnel model.

Meanwhile, I'm almost 9 feet grating manufactured and installed.

Now is the revision of the wall connections on how to see clearly needed.

Of course, even the missing handrails on the stairs.

Today was even a first impression of my model.
Gladly I will tell more if you wish.
I like it, Helmut. The last shot is very nice.
Love these large scale prototypes. Always good to see another model from that other forum on here. The track particularly is very well modelled.
Welcome to the forum Helmut. Interesting concept and we'd certainly like to see more as you progress. I agree with Ian, the trackwork is nicely done. It's always hard to model irregularities in trackwork and still keep it functional.
Paul
Looks good! I like the brickwork. Are the handrails made of brass?
I like the hammer insignia on the gate! Very cool
MPH
@Helmut Be welcome! I am glad you to see here. Nice that you also show here your project.
@Ray Here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buntbahn.de%2Fmodellbau%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ft%3D4144) Helmut described the production of his railings.
It´s also worth to look at Helmuts web page: click (http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=de&sl=de&tl=en&u=http://www.design-hsb.de/&rurl=translate.google.com&usg=ALkJrhj-94n2HpGZjvciLK43aLL42C2KoQ)
I'm just waiting to see your continued progress!
Frithjof
Thank you all for your interest.
Since track and tunnel once the most interest have caused, I would like to proceed.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2Fberggl08.jpg&hash=c24fb90819a474a1f7916ff932f47919177bcece)
I started my model with the portal to the tunnel.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2Fklosterstollen1111.jpg&hash=8d16eae86aa6e0ce911ec2114442e37d63f3a880)
Model door to the mineworkings.
The left wall is primed and painted the right wall is already finished.
Everything to me looks like stone, is the model of medium density fiberboard glued wood.
The material is like cardboard and fixed it there with us in hardware stores.
The stones are pre-milled by a CNC machine in the contour.
I then reworked the surface with an 80-year-old dental machine dental bur.
A Dremel would of course go, but so goes the old dental machine.
Then the walls were then painted by hand with acrylics.
The door can be opened in the model by 2 servo motors.
The goal has been soldered together from various brass sections.
The insignia of mining "Schlegel und Eisen" (hammer and chisel) I drew in Corel and etched.
Here are 2 little videos about the gate.
http://www.myvideo.de/watch/6652541/Einfahrt_in_den_Klosterstollen
http://www.myvideo.de/watch/6617239/Modelltorsteuerung_mit_Servos
In the video you can see that all tracks can be driven properly.
The points have motor drives.
My goal is for all presentations without the intervention from above can operate.
Such animated features to cause me great pleasure and which I have of course even more on the layout.
Did you like to report I even more?
The grids are machined from solid brass, which was cheaper for me as they put together from individual profiles.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2Fgelaender%252005.jpg&hash=aad22e4fc5569a89a45b7b5f349d556479b760d0)
I have an old CNC engraving machine used and so I can make all the milling work well yourself.
On the whole, even make me very important, as models in this scale for a mine train is not for sale.
But the journey is the goal and our hobby.
So I hope to find in this forum even more like-minded.
I like the place more emphasis on quality in modeling.
In order to show you this, I will also try as much as possible to publish new pictures.
I hope you can understand my Google-supported English.
Your English is easy to understand, Helmut. Your modeling is even easier to understand! Nice work. -- Russ
Helmut,
nice to see that you are going to contribute your modelling work here too ...
Kind regards
I like this very much, but what I like even more is what you said: "the journey is the goal" Indeed.
Very interesting work, thanks for posting it. Oh, and welcome aboard!
Beautiful work, Helmut. I really enjoy seeing how you go about fabricating some of this. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Marc
Gladly I will tell more about my model.

Before the tunnel, the ditch is covered with grates as you can.
How many of you ever thought about how to replicate these grids.
Here's my solution:
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2Fgitterroste01.jpg&hash=538ea95822f0aff0e783a7f76134c45d7b2bdd7d)
I designed etching plates containing the longitudinal and transverse strips.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2Fgitterroste02.jpg&hash=bf8a17cf88d46d3e99374e55fd90067f19487580)
After etching, the strips are rotated by 90 °.
Then can be arranged into two parts.
Once soldered with a soldering iron around it.
Thereafter, the grids are drawn off.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2Fgitterroste04.jpg&hash=e680b77b23675cd7293e30cd8d986c854d17d3f4)
My grates are made of nickel silver, and thus actually been so natural.
The figures of the miners are, of course not to buy and are therefore self-made.
Of course, a Bergman's all in a clean white suit to the mine.
So that the shoes are clean, my small miners have also got a boot scrubber.
The little studs on the side used to serve as access to technology, the Turntable of it.
Again, a Bergman is looking after what is left of left.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2Fklosterstollen1108.jpg&hash=3b81925bb4692bdaaf1eb439e1be1277c9e2a6ea)
The wall has collapsed, allowing the spectators cheering from the outside to look on.
The mining light can of course be turned on.
A servo motor, the head of the Bergman is movable.

As you can see, for me there is still a lot of work, until I reached the standard of you.
Those grids are amazing. I could use some like that for the walkways on my bridges.
Are the bricks all individually set? Did you make the bricks or buy them?
Yes there's definitely a market for good looking grids!
Amazing attention to detail.
The grates are great! ;D So much better than just the typical flat PE often used for such items.
Marc
Correction to your post: You already ARE at the level of others on this forum. -- Russ
´As you can see, for me there is still a lot of work, until I reached the standard of you.
Helmut, ... that´s the first time I can´t understand you ;)
.... or, is is a little bit of fishing for compliments?
You are quite right here!
Frithjof
Oh no, Frithjof;
I made this picture and wanted to show how I make the base plates for the railing.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2Fklosterstollen1112.jpg&hash=d047403ec66c473b7376836761a765664e14fc57)
Then I saw my bungling, I had not seen with the naked eye despite glasses.
Yes such a camera image is just merciless.
Russ so I came to my thoughtful award.
But back to the grids.

I draw the individual blades simply reduced to scale with CorelDraw.
Then I send the data to a company for a friend of the etching technique has and get back the finished parts.

The coloring is done with acrylic paints with a brush.
Where is the red color of the brick can well afford with a rubber roller.
The intricacies and the aging but is in any case with a brush.
Excellent work. I was curious and tracked down your Engraving Plotter ..

Found it online for $690

Love this stuff!! :)
Hi Ed,
only the plotter alone is unfortunately not yet you need a good software.
I cannot free or cheap software known a driver for ME has MIMAKI.
Such engraving machine but gets very encouraging, as signs are now laser cut.
I use Eurocut Professional (http://www.eurosystems.lu/index.dml?sprache=eng)
Here are 2 pictures with examples of parts that I created on the machine.
Even if it is OT at this point something.

I promise I will write from my CNC brass mine early next month when I'm back from vacation.

I am so happy there are people who still work like craftsmen. One would think the manual, creative hobbies are dying out. But this work by Helmut proves otherwise. The quality has never been higher.
Technology does help- the engraving machine is used in a very effective way. I can understand how the bricks and walls are made.
Helmut, how did you make those beautiful locomotive parts?
John
Hi John,
Thanks for the recognition, but also I would like to learn more about the artificial aging of you.
The locomotive is the result of a change in PE set before me.
I received 2 sets at that time and also built two locomotives from it.

A locomotive I have given to Marcel here from the forum.
All that can be seen with me, is it yourself or at least from a kit that I change emerged.
The engine driver was out of a car mechanic kit.

It was formed from a nickel silver set.
Now I have to make handles and natural aging.
Helmut --
That's a wonderful little wheelbarrow, full of character. Lots of fun watching you develop a scene that you know so well.

The detailing and finish of this wheelbarrow are very nice, Helmut.
Meanwhile, the wheelbarrow has also received islets and the last piece of wall was also designed in different colors.

Of course it works, and to my surprise, even better than the original.
Only it is of course quite finished yet, but that in between to watch, maybe even interesting.
Pretty cool. I like the concept of the pivot platform -- kind of a small turntable for tight spaces.

So now is build it further, because on Sunday the 4th September, I want to show my model in the monastery gallery.
Wow, that track is put together just like the real thing!
Most satisfactory. Should you ever want to publish the diorama, I might know somebody who could help .... -- Russ
This will be the completion take some time but until then I can still write the occasional report.
Just as there are only supplement once again a picture of a model of the turntable.
Ray, yes, such a construction is modeled after a challenge.

Servo-drive turntable view from below.
In collecting the hill then inserted and the drive of the turntable.
Russ, I think when I'm on is perhaps a more beautiful you are reporting.
It still lacks a lot of detailed work especially aging and weathering.
Since I want to issue to-morrow on Sunday 09/04/2011 in my model convent gallery, I have the unit mounted to the sample times.
What a show day is always a good test for the Was Built To test for functionality.

As in the real tunnel monastery is also a registry office, I have such a scene recreated a photo after the ceremony, also in the model.

Swivel base with aging, such as the prototype of the beams was also secured with a chain.
Very cool! Nice to see an overall view of the model.

Hi Ray,
But how can you look at the empty parking and presentation tracks, I must build more waggons for the presentation.

Well, yes ... but these things take time! Meanwhile, you have made a lot of progress on your model ... and it is becoming a very interesting diorama.

Meanwhile, I have a lot of work at my house done, at the breaks my model make progress, but so it's gone a little further.

Meanwhile, the insight into the pit arisen.
Now it continues with the interior of pit and to color scheme ist the next Work.
Also on the Waggons, there are still a lot of work.
Very cool!
Masterful. But, as my wife would ask, "How much money did you earn from building it?"
Women!
Russ
@Russ ...
Thanks to you guys
Russ no money, but many happy hours model building.
Ed, this is fortunately not my problem, my wife has its own bank card.
To my account
::)
Just to set the record straight: My wife never asks for money. But she sees no point in spending any significant time on unprofitable pursuits. It's a cultural thing. -- Russ
As a small addendum, an image of the original coal mine.

In Future it should look so in to my model.
But first I must go now measure, so that I can really resemble the original.
Luckily I have the best wife in the world that accepts everything.
I really like this model.
It's a lot of fun to look at and I LOVE the turntable.
Wonderful work!!
So it continues.

Of course it works, and the slide can be actuated via the handle.
Meanwhile, I've tinkered and a further bridge crane has emerged.
So I can then raise the bucket from the well and place on a wagon for emptying.

Now it is time to construct the drive, because of course this model will be shown also in function.
That sure turned out nice!
It sure did.
You will not believe it but the time frame was really so.

Shaft II in the workover.
First attempt was actually originally the bucket of the transport of concrete had been used to raise the hoist.
Unfortunately, the chain was far too weak and also a tripod was set up.
With the reel from the brake mountain then managed to pull the bucket up.
Only you got the bucket is not empty then over the car.
Why then my suggestion that I have implemented the model with the trolley and hoist.
I can also implement the function in the model and make.
Only would the reel for the ropeway are far outside of my diorama and the drive ropes for the crane will simply disappear in the nothing I can find not so good.
Therefore I have considered the need for workover simply obeying an additional reel use of which are in the real mine also still more available.
As you can see, it goes with me and not from without compromise and imagination.
Moreover, the real monastery tunnels so often been converted and changed what I've sometimes been difficult to assign all of the appropriate age.
I had just started with little time to plan and build the photo above was my submission.
But I quickly copied some.
The crane is operated with 3 ropes, 2 pieces for front and back of the trolley and one for raising and lowering the load.
I have to build the frame 2 and 5 along transverse grooves milled in an MDF plate, and this also the same as used Lötlehre.

Roles, hook and bearing block for crane.
In the 8 mm wheels I have 4 mm ball bearing with 2 mm thickness pressed one.

The finished door is examined here and shown forth.
Thereby having, I also have made the hinges to the door.
Here I drew in part on a Frithjof technology (http://www.finescalerr.com/smf/index.php?topic=1424.msg31005%20#%20msg31005).
However, to see something different, as shown on the following image.
I immediately made a hinge with two eyes.

Door hinges.
I've also attached a hole in the tape and at the door.
This allows much easier to position the hinges and dowels through the wire as the connection is even tighter.

Head in soldering tool, unfortunately, the photo is not so successful.
The rungs are made of 1 mm and the wire bars of 1.5 mm tube.
The lesson could be so also to produce a circular saw with adjustable cutting depth.
No casual observer ever will realize or appreciate how much skill and thought and planning and hard work went into the details. Most satisfactory. (That ladder is just PERFECT, as are some other details.) -- Russ
So now I want yet to even show a better picture of the ladder.

Front and rear pulley.
The editing was done by both sides and I had to hold and align drilled 0.5 mm holes at the corners.
With an adhesive film layer additionally everything was kept.
The two halves are soldered together now and into the middle of a ball bearing is a pressed yet.
When I built all the mechanical parts, of course, still lacks the color, the weathering.
Machining the pulley is beyond my pay grade. But the photo showing how you aligned the ladder parts for soldering is worth a thousand words. Thank you! -- Russ
So it goes now I am working on with the tripod.

In any case, the two can finally begin with the sinking of the shaft and I fit into the model.

Hello,
because my posts here know I have little resonance, the question is what this.
What should I do better or differently.
Or should I just leave it better, my work is just too interesting for this forum.
I admit that I had only a little English in night school, and therefore use the Google translator and so trying to explain my posts.
Personally like answers to as PM or e-mail.
Personally, I think your diorama is very creative and well done. Your building techniques are excellent. I look forward to each post. Please do not go away or stop posting.
Maybe some of the experts here could help you achieve an even more realistic finish on some parts of the model (or a future model). If anyone volunteers, I hope he will keep the writing simple and use a lot of pictures.
Russ
I have been following this build on buntbahn.de
Incredible detail and research.
I too have enjoyed following along with this build! Please continue posting!
Thank you for the answers.
I am well aware that I am with very different objectives, such as the majority of the members of this forum here run my model.
So yes I had to ask for even allowed to get a better understanding of the orientation of my posts.
My personal goal is the model, according to an authentic original Mine near my house.
It is also my goal to incorporate animated functional Scaled details with me because not only will the trains be the only thing moving.
I just bought 7 pieces model servos to exactly this to set.
This functionality is of course difficult in words and pictures to give back but maybe I manage this so soon in a video.
Videos are good!
Looking forward to seeing them.
At a German narrow gauge exhibition a few days ago Helmut showed his "Klosterstollen".
On a movie at youtube we can see many functions Helmut has placed to his great model. (from minute 4:05 to 7:40)

Hi all,
Currently, there are some news about my work bench.
As seen in the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypwsl7UidLY&feature=youtu.be) is moving with me not only the train but I have also tried other parts to design flexible.

Winch to lift the "Teufkübels" container.
Everything from brass and soldered construction, only the screw, the gear and ball bearings are buying parts.
Really nice work! I enjoyed the video too -- loved all the animation!
Where is the small winch placed? Do you have a photo to see how big it is?
Helmut,
Please do continue posting your work and progress on this project. I think the subject, attention to detail, fabrication techniques and quality of craftsmanship is wonderful. I do watch and follow, but don't often post, because it gets old always posting "great work" ;D ;D....and like with Frithjof's work...the machining/fabrication techniques are far beyond my abilities, but I find it truly fascinating and educational to watch/see them and the results.
Thanks for posting the video. Great to see the layout in operation. Enjoyed seeing all the mechanisms in action.
Marc
I agree with Marc. How many times can you say "great"? -- Russ
Hi all,
I would like to continue my story and show more pictures.
Once I had found that although I have all sorts of detailed pictures of the original of the winds, but unfortunately not a suitable overview photo.
So I'm in good weather with the monastery dog tunnels and have only once made the pictures show.
Yet it is incredibly convenient to be a model for the model to have very close.

Hi Ray, yes, we're both in the model miners.
Hello Frithjof, just for you with a cents, I have also taken the extra large coin.
Hi Marc, I guess you could also just have time to train to come to me.
For me there is every Tuesday evening support for other modelers with building tips.
Perhaps I should also report the training times times, if it interests you.
Hi Russ, yes I think it's clear what you mean.
To all, if you have any questions as I do it then so very much like.
Otherwise, the wind is still not finished and it is for me to build even further and report.
Wow! The machining of these parts is amazing! It's almost like making a watch.
Well done! I like it! Fortunately, it is in scale 1:22,5!
Hi Ray,
I am also volunteer for several years been in the mines and that experience inspired me again and again during the construction.
Hello Frithjof,
yes the scale and the scale of this are very important for me.
But now to my winds and how they originated.

Meanwhile, the winds bronzed and mounted on the sample.
The use of ball bearings has proven itself, the cable drum runs very well.
Now I can make me more concerned about the installation and the actual drive and make the electronic control.
Of course, lacking even the color and aging.
Amazing for the build quality AND the fact that it works.
Hi all,
I have long pondered how I can solve this.
Was important to me to be able to drive all the way in digital form, but the top priority was the absolute reliability.
So for me, soon stood firmly with one servo control of MBTronik (http://www.mbtronik.de/).
Finally, I'm already so great experiences.
For this I have then determined the required stroke or way and have 3-speed servos chosen.
I have yet to be determined to the required diameter and then all put into action.
I would imagine the result today.

I need some fine tuning to make the program but as you could in this video (http://www.myvideo.de/watch/8547766/Klosterstollen_Kranbruecke_Schacht_II) see everything runs quite satisfactory.
Hi all,
it must go even further and so I take the time and build on.
On shaft II still lacks the trap doors, and so I started the door hinges to produce.

Excellent!
Hi all,
But unfortunately after with the hand repeatedly inflicts damage, I decided to automate the flaps and doors.
In order to facilitate automation, however, but I had to make some changes.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buntbahn.de%2Ffotos%2Fdata%2F6264%2F13P1050688.JPG&hash=a186510358bec81c5e34c55c056bfb1f0d69b837)

Meanwhile, the bands are mounted and also a power to do so.
When soldering with the flame, not a good color burned on the railing, but what can be addressed again determined.
So now I have a brand new cover for the shaft to produce in order to automate the manhole covers can also.
Look at those hinges! Lord have mercy!! -- Russ

great project and great skills
this is right up my alley,i can see that you are having a lot of fun over a long period developing the scene.
it is so good to see something different-european modellers have that something that puts them apart.

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.
Quote from: Design-HSB on January 30, 2012, 01:14:10 AM
So now I want yet to even show a better picture of the ladder.

Head after soldering into Mastertool.
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.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buntbahn.de%2Ffotos%2Fdata%2F6264%2F13P1040693.JPG&hash=9908f4558f06aabfbc3187bfaaf73456d3a03f19)
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 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVwhBKVg92U&feature=youtu.be).
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.
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.

Beautiful piece. Looks almost exactly like the real thing (I actually thought it was when I first glanced at the photo). What material are the teis/sleepers (Schwellen) made of? Nickel Silver?
Hi Marc,
yes it is all made of nickel silver.
Only until the confused looks something similar to the original one, I'll probably still have some work.

Cheers,

I really like this!
So simple but yet elegant!
I cant wait to try out all these scenery tips i have been seeing here!
-Mj
Great color on the rocks, Volker!
Great! This would be an ideal sample for stonework in my own area in my hometown.
It looks the same as in your work and I especially like the subtle greenish hue.
It is so: wherever I look, I see green stone walls. It's a fact, I used not to pay any attention before.
I thought that it would be an interesting project, to photograph the same wall month after month from the same angle to find out how much the colour of the object differs from season to season ...
Just a small remark to the wood grain: It seems somewhat too pronounced to me ...
Keep up your inspiring work!
I have some very old railroad ties in the backyard with grain as pronounced as what Volker created. I have no criticism of the model. ...Yet. -- Russ
Thanks, Marty, Christian and Peter,

you're absolutely right. Helmut prefabricated the sleepers including the grain the same way he did before for his model. We talked about that. It was Helmut's deliberate decision to forego an more realistic appearance considering all the other built in sleepers of the Klosterstollen would look somewhat coarse otherwise. I think he was right. And - funny tio mention: When Helmut started with this model in 2005 (?) it was state of the art!
It is another sort of wood (I have beech ties), which is very difficult to engrave at the faces. Helmut, what is it?
Cheers,
Volker
Hi,
the railroad sleepers are much older as Volker wrote.
About 30 years ago I created wooden sleepers for this model.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buntbahn.de%2Ffotos%2Fdata%2F6281%2F13HSBMod01.jpg&hash=151faf3e6e4f93ca9cab266dbdc9213458e1bb69)
About 10 years ago I used the first thresholds for a diorama, which is the basis for my model today.
The fact is also that very old weathered cracked sleepers have already been used on the original mine, for construction.
When building my model I'm trying to build the state of 10 years ago after the originals.
I think it would be no good image result when I would use different styled timber for the model.
At the moment I just create the missing railings.

I like the lichen and moss on the rock pile. I really feel humid and cold to the touch
eric
Nice job on the rock pile, and the handrail! The texture and coloration of the rocks is excellent. The texture of the ties is also good too, assuming they are meant to represent old, heavily-weathered ties.
Excellent work!
Impressive construction techniques used... ;)

After I had reported longer anything more at this point, I would like to raise the coverage again, especially since in other threads the topic Mining is shown.
As at any other mine also belongs to the Monastery tunnel compressor station which of course I also want to simulate the model.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buntbahn.de%2Ffotos%2Fdata%2F7526%2F13P5280058.JPG&hash=c94c31481c25d2309cb38d41580be65ac92fc929)
Here, the compressor station next to the shaft can be seen, and as it will be also on my model.

Here is another recent picture of the now displaced, modified compressor station.
But now to the model:
At first I tried simply to build plastic, but this proved to be very difficult due to the sometimes very low wall thicknesses, the compressor station. there with us an extra garbage can for recycled materials Fortunately.
So I resorted to the tried and tested for my material metal back and already with some cutting and bending, I could solder the station with the help of some brass scrap strip the model together.

By separating in assemblies of different colors, it is now easier to perform the paint job.

Meanwhile, the compressor has received the first color.
Meanwhile, other small parts are as signs u.s.w. added.

Watching are actually not all, since they are later on the back of the viewer.
Helmut, You may have started modeling the compressor in plastic, then changed to brass, but your work looks like solid gold to me. Not only do your models look good and accurate and highly detailed, they are also sturdily constructed.
hi helmut
looking really good
cheers kim
Another excellent addition to your diorama. -- Russ
Holy cats, that sure looks great! Hard to tell it's not full-size.
The brass model is gorgeous!!!!
Great job
Marty
Beautiful job.
Hello,
I just wanted to report again.
With my monastery model I participated in the Miba competition "Ripe for the stage" and occupied a 3 place.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buntbahn.de%2Ffotos%2Fdata%2F6264%2F13Reif_f_r_die_B_hne_3_Platz.jpg&hash=1a3f07626bdbd57832a4897247977a9a8c384605)
Urkunde 3. Platz Miba Wettbewerb "Reif für die Bühne"
Reason enough to continue working. Inspired by visits to miniature wonderland, I would also like to install a button that the audience can use to trigger an expiration. For this I have chosen the shaft II here I have just tried to show the desired procedure manually.
https://youtu.be/MDs_atVZp9I (https://youtu.be/MDs_atVZp9I)
The sequence consists of a Piezotaster with green and red identification, after all, 6 servos and the light in shaft II. For this I looked for a control, which made this possible. I found this control in the Netherlands with PiCommIT and the OC32. The OC32 as can be seen in the next video can be controlled manually, via a PC or DCC. The OC32 has 32 outputs or inputs. This can be connected to buttons, switches, LEDs, motors or servos and magnetic articles. So everything you want to control or regulate your model railway.
In order to gain experience, I first built up a test installation with the OC32 and all components required for the sequence control at the monastery studs.
Then I am intensively involved with the manuals available for this and I also visited seminars offered by PiCommIT.
The result I can present here today the test installation works now flawlessly the process, but see for yourself:
https://youtu.be/XtMPWW7_M1c (https://youtu.be/XtMPWW7_M1c)
Now I can do the next OC32 in the monastery tunnels.
Since movements are best shown in the video, at the moment no pictures and only videos.
Congratulations on the award and the electronic device is very clever. -- Russ
Congratulations, Helmut! Glad that your mine diorama is getting seen by a wide audience.
Very cool!
hi Helmut.
well done with your new model.
happy new year cheers
Hello everyone,
I build my model scale faithfully in scale 1: 22.5, according to a real model. Furthermore, I have not reported anything for a long time because of many other projects. Now I bought a SONY Cyber-shot DSC-QX100 and tested this on my model. I have times tried to take picture shots, which served me as a model as a model in the model as a similar persistence.
Here are some examples:

Certainly everything has not been finished yet and much more can be improved.
Only my biggest problem building site the electronics, I could finally solve, because I can everything everything like doors, turntable and cranes put into function and now reliable over my mobile phone.
Nice! I like seeing the comparison of prototype scenes with the model.
Me, too. Your model a very accurate miniature of the full size tram. -- Russ
Nice work, Helmut. Thanks for posting the prototype photos to see how closely you constructed your model.
I have long been building on my model of the Visitor mine "Klosterstollen". The model represents the entrance with the mine railway into the "Klosterstollen". I not only attach importance to model-like models, but to me, things have to work even more smoothly. That's why not only trains, but also all gates and cranes can still be moved. Meanwhile, it all works even via ITrain with Dinamo and Z21 controlled by the PC. This is because not some plan is executed, but the visitors start by means of key press functions and the operation itself.
At exhibitions I was asked again and again how does this actually look underground, in other words in the mine. As a supplement I plan a fiddle yard that is supposed to get on a sete then the terminus station in the mountain. However, there will also be concealed storage possibilities. I thought about presenting small scenes from the mine.
Just how I had thought for a long time until I got the right inspiration on Facebook. The Cakebox challenge of the British model Railway newspaper BRM was reported there. I read the conditions and thought class that fits exactly. The maximum size of the scene must fit into an 8 x 8 x 6inch cakebox.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox02.jpg&hash=266a3c1e2d5d552cdaf3a4bf6256bacbc1a7396e)
The first difficulty began with the fact that there is no such cakebox to buy in Germany. I solved this problem by simply creating such a box of MDF myself.
Then the planning and the reflection began with which scene I start. I also decided again for a special company presentation. On approx. 1500 m studs, the studs go through an already 1871 fully walled zone. In the visitor mine, a pit wagon with a compressed air reel is pulled out of the tunnel at this point. As a pit guide I have demonstrated and explained this in the original many times myself. So, I can also use the 3d printed figure very well for it.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FCakeBoxGW01.jpg&hash=3f5e8da760abe1a35a508ed246900425e5c0194c)
My design shows the bricked start of the tunnel of 1871. I drew the masonry after a photo of the original.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FStollenAusmauerung.jpg&hash=07831c767df6e9f0da820c1238cb24a43b348ad2)
The masonry I will engrave in again in MDF. Everything should, of course, fit completely into a cakebox, but still consist of a box open to the front. Of course, this will hopefully enhance the impression of a mine.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox03.jpg&hash=3aa4c6d012d3eb195d45054ee1990be973d16ca0)
The button with the green ring is a button that will start a small show. To do this, I will supply a microcontroller with a battery. The few SMD LEDs will hardly consume electricity. I believe that the issue will definitely be solved by a power supply. A servo will then pull the pit wagon out of the tunnel.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FCakeBox04.jpg&hash=d7c89a8716fa4f9015be3b992c2379140d86d29d)
In the meantime, I have made the first walls of MDF and ground them. As I write this here, on my milling, further stone strips are created for the stud lining. I would like to build the tunnel on the other hand like a hull on frames.
This is how I build a fully functional model-based micro layout in scale 1:22.5 with a 26, 7mm gauge to only 8 x 8 x 6 inches to complement my monastery studs.
I love how accurately you plan your models, create the parts, and assemble them. Your work is satisfactory. -- Russ
Well its different with atmosphere - nice workmanship
Barney
Many Thanks, Russ and Barny.
in the meantime, I have constructed further parts and milled them on the CNC machine. Of course, first of all, only the bricks with their joints and the outer contour of the components. Directly on the CNC machine I have painted all joints with acrylic paint gray. This is like a primer and first improves the MDF. With the roller shown in the picture then follows another primer in the stone color.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FCakeBox05.jpg&hash=ace71e9345ea6307025cc34baf245a9dcaad4f02)
For this I give a few drops of ocher and brick red on a glass plate. With the roller, the color is only roughly mixed by rolling and then rolled onto the MDF.
As desired, the color only reaches the raised areas, giving the stones a very beautiful, irregular base tone in the brick color.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FCakeBox06.jpg&hash=9bd87cd2ccb14659a3e481d138e8a9119e347fa4)
The many stone strips are intended for the reproduction of the lining of the tunnel.
Next up is the pedestal on which the track is coming, which, of course, will get a cavity by placing the OC32NG, which will then be responsible for the animation.
Fascinating! I'm always happy to see more of your work on this mine.
In the meantime, I have made the wall parts and the stone strips for the tunnel and put them together for the test. Of course also the cobblestone with "Schlegel and Eisen" and the year 1871.
I would like to use the diagonal to get as much track length as possible. In addition, by the slope of the insight in the actually much too short studs are not so accurate that are in the original finally 25m.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox07.jpg&hash=1bd7d6a35c9a46fba6060e07c5ca8fb1c8f1223e)

From the EC via a ramp to the car and back.
Thus, the transport is possible without outside help.
Helmut, Your work is always inspirational to see and read about. The cake box mine view is no exception. I really like how you replicated the mine entry and how it will all fit diagonally in the box.Your storage and transportation method for the diorama is also impressive.
Ditto. -- Russ
Ditto Russ' ditto. Very creative, both in design and logistics!
Amazing!
Hello everyone, here's something from my workbench for my Cakebox project.

Meanwhile, I have been able to finish the lining of the tunnel.
The goal is a functional model of 8 X 8 X 6 inches.
Frame size IIf, scale is 1: 22.5 and the track width is 26.7 mm.
Excellent, Helmut!
Everything fits correctly, just as you designed it. That must be satisfying. -- Russ
Well done!
What is the texture or paint on that ore cart? It looks sparkly.
hello, thanks for the positive feedback.
Ray, unfortunately I can not say how the car is painted, he belongs to a series of cars that have been given as a gift.
Although I have used the same base well for a homemade. I suspect there is still some of the gray base color after weathering.
In the meantime, the shell for my BRM Cakebox model has been completed.

Everything is to be disguised later so that as a sight and insight only the front view remains.
That will be pretty spectacular when you finish it. Even now it looks great. -- Russ
Helmut, Your cakebox model is shaping up most impressively!
Looks great! An impressive amount of work, but I'm sure for you it was a "piece of cake". :)
Looking good - its got a bit of an ghostly look in the tunnel !
Barney
Perhaps a G scale "spook"!
Les
First of all thank you for your contributions.
I've used the weekend to build the model, of course it's not finished yet and especially in the photo is merciless to see where needs to be reworked. But try makes smart and it should go on. So a little bit of color and a little bit of gravel make up a lot.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox13.jpg&hash=34557f8b49985f9c719e2ab9a5533faed330450e)
On the far right is my first attempt to model rocks.
When looking into the tunnel, the wide-angle lens may have created something special, and I hope that I will not be classified among the G model makers. Because the size G applies in Germany, rather rough and my goal is to build in the building II and the goal of building Finescale models.
Meanwhile, the small dioram has been installed in his box and I have made a first light test with RGB LED lighting in the box.

What do you mean too blue or?
hi Helmut love the bricks in the tunnel regards kim.
Hi Kim,
Thank you for your contribution yes, such a brickwork always works well.
From Frithjof I got the tip to cover the RGB LED's with a yellow filter. For this I just painted the RGB Led's with transparent yellow paint.

Much better.
Now it's starting to look like art. Wonderful.
Thank you for the positive feedback, because for me it is important to see if you see it that way.
My mine model has a real role model in my place of residence. It is important to me to set this as natural as possible. Since it is a visitor mine, in which also functions of mining are demonstrated, I would like to do this in my model so. This will include a pit guide / miner who explain the place to the visitors and demonstrates the function.
In the original, the meaning of the historic place is explained underground and pulled the mine car with a reel from the tunnel. All this should also happen in my model. For this I need a sound module for the explanation and the noise of the moving mine car. Of course, this has to happen synchronously with the model's procedure. To realize all this I started to install the electronics.
Since everything has to fit into the 8 X 8 X 6 inch Cakebox for the challenge, that's not all that easy. For the power supply is a battery pack with 12 volts installed, but that can be switched on and off via a switch. In addition, the switch has another position in which an external power supply can be turned on. This is the first time the power supply is secured.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox17.jpg&hash=a00354a80719ca826a6877dc4dbef4a3edc3cffa)
The central control of all processes is carried out by a Dinamo OC32-NG. This is a freely configurable sequence control system for model railroads with 32 I / O inputs and outputs. Since I have a resistance bank in the first bank, I can use it as an input, servo output or to drive a Led. I am already in a model making servo with which I would like to move the mine car. Since such a servo also requires 5 volts, there is the additional board SP04, which suppresses the servo signal and is responsible for the 5 volt power supply. But I also need 5 V DC for the AVT sound module which I also connected to the SP04.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox18.jpg&hash=bc1faf84cd736a705066cca626022439491a507a)
Everything can be triggered later by the viewer himself by pressing the button on the front itself. In addition, there is a board with relays that serve security and exclude incorrect operation. Because even if the start button on the front is pressed several times, it must not come to any malfunction.
I have begun to wire the cable, but only finally complete the wiring when the servo is firmly mounted.
Clever engineering; excellent execution. -- Russ
The painted LED lighting makes a good improvement to the scene. The sound and animation are also going to add good things to the diorama.
Very, very cool!
Time for an update.
In the original with a compressed air driven reel, a pit car is pulled out of the tunnel at the demo-site. Such a reel is of course not as a model, reason and chance to build this reel itself. Unfortunately, at the moment there are no options available to draw such a reel in 3 d in order to have it printed. Only my hobby is model making and I prefer to do everything with my possibilities myself. I was able to buy a engraving machine that produced a company called badges. This machine can be controlled via HPGL character files, which I can generate with a 2 D CAD software.
So, I create just a lot of items which then assemble to a whole.

The parts for the reel model.

Shell of the reel as screws I used for mounting M0, 6 model screws and cut the tapped holes by hand.
There are still some very small parts that I would like to create but I am satisfied.
Superb. -- Russ
I'm always excited about how you can mount such small parts with your huge hands ;-)
Great job!
Frithjof
Hi Russ, thanks for the confirmation.
Hi Frithjof, thanks for your question Yes there helped eternal training because I grew up with my hands together. Luckily, she stopped growing at the size 11 or XXL glove. Only if you are 1.94 m tall, little hands and feet would look funny too. I also do not use magnifying glasses, but need a good sliding lens. But you can look forward to more than this morning I was in the mine and bought some original charcoal to make the model authentic.
That is another excellent functional piece for the diorama.
Superb craftsmanship!

Meanwhile I was able to complete the model of the compressed air reel as you can see and it is now complete.
The fact that I arranged the track diagonally in the middle because of the largest possible length, the wall also yields a wider width for thrust. As a result, the water basin is still visible and so I have built it as well.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox23.jpg&hash=64d9513b1703e663ed6e69a6496deb3dec255a90)
First I engraved the wall joints for the 3 wall parts with a 0.5 mm cutter in 5 mm thick MDF.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox24.jpg&hash=1343bd9b849f55fb4b242b3cf1ce6953ca56b33e)
Then I milled the outer contour with a 1.5 mm cutter.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox25.jpg&hash=41f8d2d408761e46fe52350dfba494456b1ba68c)
First sample of reel and water basin. The reel is now also mounted and blackened on its base plate. In the background the water basin, which in my opinion revalues the scene.

Finally, a look at the Cakebox model, which fits perfectly into a cakebox, but is far from finished.
That looks very satisfactory and, when it is complete, should be even more satisfactory. The composition--how you angled the diorama into the box--really adds to its appearance. -- Russ
Ditto what Russ said!
Russ and Ray,
I will continue to try everything not to disappoint you here, so see how it goes on.
In the meantime, I have completed the servo drive for the mine wagon. I used a servo which makes almost 6 turns. The included pulley moves about 500 mm of rope, which is about 100mm which I need far too much. So, I made the smallest possible pulley myself. I need 2 rope drums sitting on a shaft. A rope drum wraps the rope and the other one. The servo shaft has a diameter of 6 mm which results in the core of my shaft from a 7 mm brass tube. As a drum I use 8 mm brass tube which in turn fits on the 7 mm shaft. I fixed a rope drum firmly on the 7 mm shaft and the 2 is twisted bar to be able to clamp the rope.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox27.jpg&hash=e578cd44243625a189f6a786a32ed876b5a07cab)
The individual parts for the rope drums.

The two individual rope drums.

The assembled rope drums.
The model of the compressed air reel serves as a deflecting roller. Due to the size of the Cakebox, however, I have to divert the rope at the end of the tunnel one more time. Actually, wanted to use ball bearing pulleys. Just seemed to me this too elaborate and I have just times 2 mm brass tube which I have bent with a self-made bending device appropriately. As a rope I use 0.5 mm of scale rope from a radio. After the installation I tested it with a Servotester, which was to the full satisfaction.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox30.jpg&hash=52cc79bd556476b0f7b8d8b1023b7d68c75891ca)
Here is a picture of the mounted compressed air reel with the carbon seam at the bottom left.
The compressed air reel is now mounted and above all coloured, including aging. Since the underground in the mine is made of clay at this point, the compressed air reel is additionally braced with a support against the ceiling. This prop is also part of the model and was rebuilt and aged by me from brass.
Since the miners in the monastery tunnels at this point have stumbled on the coal for the first time and that is still to be seen there today, I have also modelled this with original charcoal from the monastery tunnels.

View through the tunnel to the compressed air reel with the 2mm brass guide tubes.
Perfect, as always. A very unusual subject to model. You will attract a lot of interest when you display the diorama. -- Russ
Thanks Russ,
first test run, for my scale 1: 22.5 built diorama, the monastery tunnel extension. Controlled with Dinamo OC32 NG.
https://youtu.be/L6lAQRcGKzI (https://youtu.be/L6lAQRcGKzI)
Looks like all is working well. Was the flashing yellow light a warning signal before the mine car was moved?
Bill, this is supposed to be a neon light at the start, only the camera probably had a different white balance. The whole scene is illuminated with a whole 4 LED is supposed to come a bit of a mining mood too. Before that I had made a video with great light, only that did not work as I intended. However, there are still figures to be added as visitors who are still to receive the pit lights.
Fascinating. I've never seen such a display. I guess all that remains is to detail the scenery and put the final weathering on the ore car. Adequate so far. -- Russ
Cool. The animation adds a lot to the diorama!
As can be seen in the pictures, I have now installed and wired all the electronic components.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox33.jpg&hash=04db4cb045b8efc4a04bfb2fd84c783df529d3d2)

In addition, I have configured the OC32 as the central controller and defined all processes. As you can see on the pictures, I also installed sound modules. An MP3 sound module provides for the original sound of underground rippling all the time. I already reported at the beginning that I have a scanned figure in the clothes of a Bergman. In fact, I have always explained to visitors the guided tours of the peculiarities of this place. So it was natural to do this in the model as well. Now I'm a participant in a British Modelling Competition Cakebox Challenge. Thus, the language should also be English. Only that was not enough for me, why can I not switch the language between German and English. So I wrote down a text in German and translated it into English. Then everything digitally recorded as a WAV file and stored in 4 separate files in a WAV sound module. Once there is the explanation and then warnings that I play separately so that they can run synchronously with the reel noise. Unfortunately, my first reel shots failed me and so I would like to repeat what thanks, the proximity to the monastery gallery is not a problem.
The model can indeed be operated with batteries to comply with the rules, but also to save energy and to protect the environment, I have optionally provided a power adapter.
Now I'm waiting for more figures because I need so well visitors who follow my explanations as a miner. There comes another peculiarity, I get scanned characters from real friends. The receive, then just like the miner, a miner's lamp will burn naturally. Then comes once again, additional wiring to me.
Helmut, the electronics for your display are more complicated than my computer! -- Russ
One more resistor and you are going to have move the diorama into a box for a wedding cake. ;D ;D ;D
Helmut, Your shoebox is going to be a very active diorama! Looks good!
hi Helmut very nice,i have always liked your box of tricks,cheers kim
In the meantime, the first Model figures have arrived and the people concerned are allowed to identify themselves if they like it, because I got the startingset from my wife. However, it is agreed with the persons concerned and they are informed, but all are not active here in this forum either.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox35.jpg&hash=8862ee95cb6d899f85fe938b1cc11194436293ed)
I already had the figure of myself, and that's why I had already primed it as white.

In addition, I also got myself once again as a trains and that also fits much better than the first attempt.

Sample in the Cakebox model.
Which one is your wife? -- ssuR
Russ,
my wife is the one who gave me the 3D prints of the modelmaking friends.

Hello,
after heat-free in the workshop and the family-related break, it can finally go on.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox38.jpg&hash=8cd105447ef9a3378bcf79b371e6a9c8e2a1fd69)
For the rehearsal I started with the character of mine and set it up for a rehearsal in the Cakebox model. The pit light is already tested and the connection is made via M1,4 threaded bushings in the legs. So the connection can be completely unobtrusive but very reliable.
Visitors can come and wait for their painting and design.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesign-hsb.de%2FCakeBox39.jpg&hash=3819cd80f114d794eb707fb31f0a478e5cd4f950)
The figures are 3D prints of real model trains that I personally know. Of course they were designed to pit suitable. During the search I had made sure that the clothing was ever suitable. So all needed really only a pit helmet of 2K plasticine was modeled. One had unfortunately only a top with short arms, and this could be modeled with the 2K plasticine to a jacket around. Now the primer follows. The wires are also in this case for the pit lights what is spent on the safety of some.
All figures have M1.4 mm threaded bushes in their legs, in 2 figures the figures are again pierced with extra-long drills and 0.5 mm brass wire was drawn in. The 0.5 mm wire is shortened and then the fine connection wires of the SMD Led's can be easily soldered to it.
Helmut, your helmets and clothing modifications came out well. The pit lights on the figures will look good and add the the ambiance of the scene.
Looking good!
I don't think you have a model of Volker there.
Come to think of it, Volker has been absent so long maybe he was never real in the first place!
Russ
Yes Volker is also missing from my model visitors, but Frithjof is there.
Inch wise ibe my cloister cake box model completed and submitted to the contest at BRM (https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/brm/information/brm-cake-box-challenge-klosterstollen) ,
I took part in the weekend at the Arge narrow gauge EXPO in Gmünd, here my presentation.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FCakeBox41.jpg&hash=0231e7332bda8485c0133f9a252f13922aaf7222)
The model itself is on the cake box which I have pasted with pictures of the image and the model.
The model shows an authentic user guidance, with explanation and move of a mine car. All this was realized by 2 AVT sound modules and a Dinamo OC32 NG.

Thats one fine group of model citizens!
You certainly deserve prizes for originality and creativity. Extremely adequate. -- Russ
That is so cool! It really turned out great!
My biggest win is a possible extension of my "Klosterstollen" model.
And so my Cake Box has made its way into the "Klosterstollen" model.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FCakeBox42.jpg&hash=8302db6b4aec1b5ea03a65dc1520be67cf01bfbf)
To do this, I first sawed a matching neckline into the "Klosterstollen" model.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FCakeBox43.jpg&hash=c8c3da61c3fc389803fd968233520514f7e2a2e7)
The Cake Box can be inserted into this section from the outside and, of course, electrically connected to the "Klosterstollen" model.
Cool! Was that part of the plan all along, or something you decided on after making it?
Ray, the construction was actually a test, for an extension where I want to show the terminal station in the mountain. A concealed fiddle yard is also supposed to be used in order to be able to change trains. Above Fiddle Yard, more boxes of scenes can then be installed. The Fiddel Yard then joins the studs and then covers the opening of the box and so I can exhibit later with or without an extension. But first there is still a lot to do at the monastery tunnel, I have just started building trees.
Very clever and creative. -- Russ
Is that a tour group visiting the mine in the cake box set?
Lawton, Yes and I, as a mine guide, give a lecture to the visitors. In doing so, I implemented an original explanation of the mine leader in the Cake Box model, in German, English and Nederlands. With one of the original sounds of the compressed air reel from the monastery tunnel, a pit truck is also moved in the model.
Click here for the videos: Deutsch (http://www.design-hsb.de/Klosterstollen1871D.MP4) English (http://www.design-hsb.de/Klosterstollen1871E.MP4) Nederlands (http://www.design-hsb.de/Klosterstollen1871NL.MP4)
Every tour I have ever been on in the UK or Europe has ended in the gift shop and cafe so at some point you can do a whimsical visit to the shop.
Well, somehow all of this has to be financed despite volunteering. Only in the "Klosterstollen" is this far from perfected.
Helmut, You are a good guide for the mine tour. It is an amazing "cake" you baked! :)
That's really cool. I love the lighting, especially the lights worn by the figures.
I thank you for the recognition, yes the model also reminds me of my active time as a pit guide. I also wanted to show that a diorama can also be active and can be absolutely exemplary.
i'm not criticizing, I'm just teasing you.
All exhibits of the nature of your mine need constant funding in order to survive. I just feel the Europeans do a much better job of painlessly separating the visitor from their money then the American operations. Some of the best special interest books in my library have come from the shop at the end of the tour. Never to be overlooked is the collection of post cards many have, as the best historical photographs one can find on the particular exhibit can be found on the post card rack.
Many times when I work for the weekend of the equipment of the East Broad Top my last stop is the shop at the Rockhill Trolley Museum next door to get a snack and look through the book shelf.

Lawton, Constructive criticism does not annoy me, but pleases me, because that is the way to improve.
Hi,
Before a while I brought away bulky waste and there I spotted a coal bowl in the scrap container.
I asked if I could have the hut and took it with me.
The coal bowles reminded me of how I had dragged the things from the basement to the 2 floor earlier.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FKS00.jpg&hash=4195b26f146c3a4d608a25240505504a07f7b0b1)
The other day Frithjof was here to visit me and he supported me in drawing a handling of it, thank you again for it.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FKS01.jpg&hash=1ed8cfcd10e46f17d7364e26a06871dcddd8fcb5)
Based on this data, I built myself a bending pipe.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FKS03.jpg&hash=6b017176fca5559c8404b764360371f9f3b42367)
I milled the process to sample from a remnant 0.2 mm messium sheet and was able to build a first pattern.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FKSB00.gif&hash=50fc6d46041fff55022f53d1c91cb34797d9c17b)
With the help of teaching and now made of 0.1 mm of new silver sheet, small-batch production could begin.
On the apprenticeship, the sheet is bent and then pinned with a little lot.
The actually soldered is then done.
In the next step, the handle is soldered to the spill with two 0.5 mm wire pins.
Then the floor is also soldered and below a wire bent on the bending tube for the lower end. This wire also serves as a stand around the bounded edge below.
The handle is also a milling part again and is also used with two 0.5 mm wire separators, which are bent over inside and so this remains movable.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FKS02.jpg&hash=5990dd1678bb19e6a679d63bbb15efc78843dd65)
For comparison soldered soldered bending part and finished coal shards.

Here the coal sheds from below, so that the Wulst from the 0.5 mm can also be seen correctly.

After that everything still clean and blackp and already the small series is ready.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FKS07.jpg&hash=165ca7b49ca123f8db338389ab1824640ddcb0f6)
So now my little Helmut can fetch coal in the mine.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.design-hsb.de%2FKS08.jpg&hash=e5863dd3f980516ed19e0764c60eb842976e73d9)
Exactly, because there is even real coal in the model.
Helmut, After many college football bowl games in the U.S.A. there will soon be the professional football "Super Bowl" but your 10 coal bowls are even more super. A very nice detail for your mine diorama!
Very nice. Great work.
Jerry
That's an item that looks easy to build but, actually, is fairly difficult to make look good. Satisfactory. -- Russ
Very well done!
hi, Helmut I would like to share some photos of your amazing models.
A while ago I had the opportunity to visit Helmut in Germany and spent some time in his workshop there was so much but here are 3 items that I feel sum up Helmuts amazing skill. cheers Helmut. But there is so much more it is the friendly collaboration that Helmut, Frithjof and Volker have that makes all the difference they help each other in an equal and complimentary way .i personally feel that is a great privilege to know each of them.

HI Kim,
You are welcome to share photos of my work.
Just a shame that you live so far away, but you are always welcome in our circle and it is also a great pleasure for me to know you.
Inspiration - I have always been a believer of those little bits and pieces that make a model better

Great stuff!
Most satisfactory! -- Russ
Happy,
I have never built a tree before and after I wasn't satisfied with everything there was to buy, I set out to build my very first tree.

After the finished turn out, I soldered the twisted wires.
Then I sheathed the trunk and thick branches with a flexible terrain spatula and then painted it.
The birch trees at the monastery tunnel had a strong moss growth and, of course, even stronger on the weather side. I took that into account when painting, of course.

I started unloading at the top, as it can be seen less in the complex later.

For the unloading, a matte birch holiday used spring from Mininatur for large scales.

From the mat I cut myself in fiber direction about 30 mm wide strips.
From these stripes I cut off the right piece for each individual branch and glued it to the branches with tesa multipurpose glue.
The adhesive is solvent free and water soluble. I consumed about 0.3 m ² of birch leaves.

The construction of my first tree has given me many happy model building hours. This means that the afforestation of the Klosterstollen model can continue to be operated.
Really nice! Great job on the wire armature.
No green vests. That's a Health and Safety violation. 10 minutes in the penalty box (corner). :P
Why are those little men trying to bury your beautiful tree? -- Russ
Hello Lawston, in Germany needs to be worn in work without machines, on plots, no warning vests.
HI Russ, the workers are supposed to dig planting holes, for another greening.
Helmut, That's a very good first tree! I need hundreds of bare winter trees for one side of my layout. I am planning on making a few wire trees that will get the attention of the viewer but the others will be less detailed so that there is a chance of completing them all.
I meant to ask earlier. Is that a 3D printed basket that the workers are using or is it a real basket?
HI Bill,
Thank you for your feedback and the basket is woven from 0.2mm copper wire in 2 gorgeous relaxing days and then brooded.
The basket belongs to a crab cutter and serves there at the mast as a daily signal of trawling fishermen.
The twisting and turning of wire is about a third of the work, another third is needed for the coating, molding and dyeing of trunk and branches.
The wire armature for the tree is certainly an "old school" method of making the core of the tree. I have recycled electrical cords which have reached the end of their useful life because of the fine wire in them which makes them so flexible. A touch of heat and solder near the base keeps everything from unraveling.
Once the core is roughed out, I cover it with brown florist's tape and then pose and paint it. The tape gives a good base texture for the bark and unless it is close up fine enough for me using a mixture of artist's paints and Gesso I just paint it. Still need to be able to carve a heart and initials into the bark in 1:48 scale.
HI Lawton,
thank you for the recognition and suggestions. Yes twisting wires is old school and I still think the best method. Since I had no old copper cables I took iron binding wire that I had. This goes very well and even has an advantage of the thin wire is not quite as flexible and 0.4 mm wire fits very well with me on a scale of 1:22.5. Only I have built a birch and the cracking in birch bark goes ehr not and beech seem to me most suitable. Since all the trees on the "Klosterstollen" actually have their wildly total, there are actually no beech trees.
In the smaller scales the electrical cord works fairly well. One can use florist's wire which comes in a variety of sizes as the core for strength and carry the finer wires out to the branches. Now that super glues are available everywhere the cheaper ones can be used to stiffen the armature's trunk.
I feel that probably the most difficult tree to model would be a Willow. The long slender branches cascading out from the trunk would be the challenge.
The basket is hand-woven? Amazing!
One of these days I want to experiment with using wire to model some of the desert shrubs for my railroad, such as creosote bush. These are common in the area I'm modeling but so far I've found no easier way to represent them.
This was my booth at NuSSA in Stadtoldendorf on March 2 and 3, 2019.

I was particularly pleased that Frithjof and Volker had visited me there.
Modeling with wire was also easier for me, ultimately easier than I suspected. You just have to try modelling once.
Cool! Very professional display, too.
Ray, the excellent roll-up was designed by Volker.
Volker you at this point again thank you for that.
Yes, beautiful and professional and excellent ... so please also post couple of close-up photos so we can see what the visitors saw. -- Russ
Hi Russ,
here the desired picture unfortunately is the text in German.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buntbahn.de%2Ffotos%2Fdata%2F6264%2F13RollUpKlosterstollen.jpg&hash=5bd2496a6b8a54a6453eeb1a2a43c106b3c8b0b7)
I have answers to frequently asked questions in the text.
Thanks, Helmut. -- Russ
A very professional display, Helmut. Nice to hear that Frithjof and Volker got to visit you there also.
looks all great Helmut I hope you had a great weekend
cheers Kim
Hello Kim,
yes you have already visited us and we have had a wonderful time together with Volker and Frithjof.
What could be more beautiful than meeting with like-minded people?
Too bad that we live here from the forum so distributed about the globe, but the WWW unites us here in this forum.
I still have the hope of meeting other forum members.
I'd be happy to invite everybody to my house for a two day meet including lunch and dinner. Unfortunately the location might be inconvenient for about 95-percent of you. -- Russ
Lovely presentation - a thing many modellers fail in
Barney

In the meantime, there is an additional monitor on which I can also show PowerPoint presentations about my model.
Most satisfactory. -- Russ
Helmut. a very good looking exhibit. It also packs up nicely for tranporting.
Very, very cool!
Very nice - its so nice to see an excellent display
Barney
In my project Klosterstollen I build models and vehicles on this topic.
Since there is nothing that you can not do even better, I have dealt with the Schalker battery locomotive again.
I had the impression that it was just too broad.
(https://design-hsb.de/Schalker_mod01.jpg)
As it should be, I then measured the model of my Schalker.
(https://design-hsb.de/Schalker_org01.jpg)
In the Feldbahn Museum Frankfurt an original could then be measured and lo and behold my model of the Schalker was 4.4 mm too wide.
(https://design-hsb.de/Schalker_mod02.jpg)
In one bundle I was able to buy, among other things, 2 identical models of the Schalker battery locomotive. I disassembled them and sawed them out on a circular saw 4.4 mm from the middle with a finely toothed 100mm saw blade. I shortened the buffer planks at the end.
(https://design-hsb.de/Schalker_mod03.jpg)
Put together to sample and I think it looks much better.
The difference is subtle but noticeable ... and an improvement. -- Russ
It does look better.
I agree, a subtle but noticeable improvement!
Hi Helmut.
Great to see you posting again , I hope your recent injuries are healing well.
All the best Kim.
My latest project for my monastery tunnel model.

Here is the 0.3 mm cotter pin, ground down from a brass wire and bent by hand, for fastening the chain.

Individual parts for the clutch. The 15 mm long chain gets a cotter pin at each end. The coupling pin has been pierced twice with a 0.3 mm drill bit before bending. A 0.5 mm stainless steel wire was soldered into a hole. The wire was ground flush at the top and shortened to 0.75 mm at the bottom. The pin prevents the coupling bolt from falling out in the latch. A piece of M 2 threaded rod was soldered into the central center piece of the coupling, over which the compressive and tensile forces are transmitted to the spring.
