When I was a teen I used to follow Model Railroading and was fascinated by articles that were tutorials on building models like this in brass and motorizing them. This work appears to involve many of the same skills and passions, without requiring a lathe or drillpress. I linger with pleasure over the photos. There is beauty here in your remembrance of some beautiful machines.
Thank you. The truth is I look over lots of paper model builds (mostly because the people building these models painstakingly document their work, making building individual pieces in 3D much easier, along with some factory blueprints). They're also very fun to build. I have many more renders here if you like- http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81%26amp;t=54436 (one of the images has a faulty valve gear, I know). They're all Eastern European locomotives
