Dan Vadas got a reaction from mtaylor in Borodino by Captain Slog - Dom Bumagi - 1:200 - CARD
Good to see you back at it Slog, and all to your usual excellent standard . Have fun with those ship's boats.
I found in some of my Halinski kits that they sometimes print two of the same parts which are very delicate and easy to ruin in case you do just that. Maybe the same thinking here?

Thank you Ken, my mind was on a different type of "Garden Railway" - the kind you can actually ride in .
Pav - I'm aware of the different types of Buffers and I'll sleep just fine, as these ones are slightly convex (bowed) as per the original. Perhaps that didn't show up too well in my other pictures so here's another. Thanks for the links.
BTW - the buffers on the "next" wagon are NOT inverted (concave) but convex like these, or even just flat. It would be a VERY difficult task to sort out each wagon into "innies" and "outies" every time they were coupled. One could argue that the ones on the front were convex and the rear were concave, but the wagons do get turned around frequently. The convex buffers actually allow for a smaller turning radius, preventing "buffer lock", where one buffer can get caught behind the other and possibly cause a de-railment. I've never seen a concave buffer (or "innie") .
You'll have to excuse me - my daughter just informed me that my Bulgar Loco has arrived at last - ordered on July 4th. I thought the ship had sunk . Looks like I'm about to get busy . Yaaayyy.

STILL WAITING for my Locomotive kit , I decided to enhance the wagon with a load of logs. I downloaded some pictures of real logs and modified the sizes in Paint.net to suit the wagon. These took me quite a while to make, but it's filled in the time :
I made them in four size diameters :
To save on paper and ink I only made the middle logs 20mm long :
I also made up some lashing chains and tensioners :

I don't know how it was/is done in eastern parts of europe, but here it is not both buffers convex on one side, and both concave on the other side: it is a left/right business: the left one (when standing in front of the wagon) being the mushroom-one, the right one flat. So, there never is any problem when turning around, or sorting.
Good to hear your loco finally made it to australia !

We have an outdoor railway at my train club. They have one set of tracks, but run equipment in scales from 1/20.3 scale to 1/32 scale. The garden folks don't get too wrapped around an axle about fidelity to prototype. They're outside running trains and they're good with that. And they have lots of space to install big speaker systems in their engines, generating all appropriate steam or diesel sounds. Darn things sound like the real thing.

STILL WAITING for my Locomotive kit , I decided to enhance the wagon with a load of logs. I downloaded some pictures of real logs and modified the sizes in Paint.net to suit the wagon. These took me quite a while to make, but it's filled in the time :
I made them in four size diameters :
To save on paper and ink I only made the middle logs 20mm long :
I also made up some lashing chains and tensioners :

Thanks Ken. "Garden Railway" ??? It's a bit smaller than that - 1:25, which I think is "1" Gauge or a bit bigger .

Now, that's a switch. Usually logs are made into paper. Nice work.
