Last Year I did a little project to take a Pic that sort of replicated a Prototype one that I made in USA. Do you think that I can find that post? So I thought that I would try again.

Just this week I found this superb picture of a Station on a German Steam Tramway. The Station is Hosel near Wuppertal. Just look at the Train, so easy to reproduduce in G and not too expensive either. Stainz, Open Wagon cheepo Balcony Coach and a Van would be very close. Here is the Station with my crude attempts to replicate that picture.

Not exact I know. My Loco is a LGB Tram Body on a Stainz Chassis (I wanted to see Valve Gear on a Steam Tram), open loaded with Gravel rather than I suspect Sugar Beat, Coach LGB long 4 Wheel Balcony and a generic LGB Van.

Can anyone attempt some more like this please?

Looks pretty good to me, as do the others. Doesn't the money fall out between the slats though ?

Blimey! That is excellent, you only need to borrow Mike's or Jon's goodsvan and it would be perfect. Top notch.

Nah! You've got use a knife to get it out ;)
 
Agreed!

It looks so realistic, due to the use of wood for the platform and the sleepers, and the background trees....
 
Mmmmmmmm....very very nice indeed.

Great job, Rik! :)

Yes Jon

Now sorted. It seems that when I load pictures off this phone they load full size - sometimes....
