MADEN

Gerlof, sometimes you want to let the audience see things they don't know.
That's also called scale modelling. Not everyone knows what those wagons were made for.

Hi Gerlof

You are right in reallife the dumpers cannot stand open position like that.
There is zwaartekracht.!!
however after your remind , thanks ,I would positioned an iron stick to hold dumpers falling
by the way I have scenerio in my mind to use them,"workers sweeping cleaning wagons preparing for other bulk cargo"

"workers sweeping cleaning wagons preparing for other bulk cargo"

Indeed a way to show the movement

"someday it will be ready"............how a true title !

The progress of Maden is at a snails pace..............hopefully it will be ready one day

However, progress was made on the loco's that will run on the layout. One of them is the diesel electric DE 20000 series loco of TCDD representing that era . Originally GE U18C , 5 were in the inventory during 1958 till 1965.
Unfortunately very scarce photos of it are available.
Our model, which will appear in our "Maden" layout, was scratchbuilt by brass and painted accordingly. Converted to DCC with sound and weathered.

The original;



...and the model;
