Woodart

With this post I would like to show you a friend's woodart model railroading.
Look first a few of this exclusively for this forum transmitted pictures.













I meet Martin in a German US-railroad forum and was extremely surprised about his large scale wood models - built in a quality which many of us do not achieve in metal.
Martin lives near to Bern/Switzerland and ownes a whole collection of such 3 foot narrow gauge wood models built in a 1:11.5 scale for 80 millimeter track (built in wood also). All locos are battery powered and radio cotrolled and run while exhibitions for a permanent astonished publicity. Short time ago he and a friend opened a website Spur80 (gauge 80) and here you can find a few PowerPoint presentations about the modeling process of such a wood loco and pictures taken while an exhibition.

I think that these pictures and models are worthy for presenting to a wide publicity. I hope that I can give a few more info with a next post.
