Must white swans look always white? Not mine!



The newest picture of first of "my White Swans" yet in a very unfinished condition. Door hardware and grab irons must be added and maybe some small parts more.
However now I see a (small) light on horizon for finishing, I hope in next year!



Maybe that you remember, this was the last picture before, taken one year back in September 2015.

Some CR blue after so many BM blue engines during the last months.

I dropped Tsumani decoders in some old LifeLike CR GP38-2. They run more silent than a brand new Genesis GP38-2. Worst combination was the Genesis GP38-2 with all it's running noise equipped with a strong humming Loksound 4.0 decoder. The Genesis shell will be put on a Trainman drive later. In the meantime is she running as a dummy behind a Genesis GP40-2 shell on a Trainman drive.

Two pictures taken on the FREMO (Friends of European MOdel railroads) annual meeting in Riesa, near to my home city Dresden, Germany.
Yes, many, many Eoropean modular layouts and three US-modul groups, N-scale, HOn3 and HO modern. So I found one scene only where my models were to photograph my "old time models" in a well fitting scenery.





My new N&W caboose and the White Swan reefer, now also added with the last missing sign.
Now the finishing of the first reefer can start!

Great pictures and modelling Bruce,Reinhard and Bernhard CNR S1B #3254 seen here in active service at Leetown in the 50's has been preserved and can be found today at Steamtown in Scranton PA.

One extra for Bruce. Blue is still at work.

To all that have posted, nicely done.

Some pictures from the FREMO meeting in Riesa, Sept/Oct. 2016.
There is a big problem to shot nice looking pictures. All groups are working after shedules and you need a lot of time on a nice looking place until the right train arrives this point. In most cases there are no trains in the field and you have not these scenes which you are interested to shot. So also here on my pictures, sorry!

On a layout of Polish model railroaders.


Friends of Switzerland with a extra fine catenary system!




A O-scale layout from Germany, unfortunately without trains.


Additional some pictures from a friend - thanks, Sven! An arial view about the meeting hall.


You can see many more pictures in my friend's gallery - enjoy!
