Very nice - did you mould the resin body yourself, or is it a limited-run commercial kit?

Thanks for the info - I was asking out of curiosity really (I don't do Swiss, and would never find the time to build it anyway!) but it does look great. :)

The cabin interior detailing looks especially good.

Is this the only kit you produce, or have you done others?

Jon.

I have not seen a photo of the prototype but I am sure your model is faithful to the original - great work!

Thank you for posting a photo of the full size loco! I don't model Swiss or mainland European stuff so hadn't seen the one you are modelling.

test test slope and slope, the Furka fails to start from a standstill (without slipping) and pulling a wagon with 5.5 kg ... pendanza 4.5% per linear meter ... not bad I`d say! heheh  :D :D :Dtrack10.jpgtrack14.jpgtrack15.jpgtrack5.jpg

Very nice! I wonder why the Swiss designers made it so long? The huge platforms make me wonder whether in season they put pot plants there? ::)
