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?

Scratch built a representation of an ex-Nappa Valley Paycar - this is the nearest I got!

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.

Here`s my contribution. The original is Tumbarumba station in southern New South Wales.
My scratchbuilt railmotor is shortened version. The station is made from styrene.

Agreed!

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

Yes Jon

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