Please spread the word! There are 52 items currently for sale, and another 52 to load, and 6 more in testing.
Part of the delay has been the task of completing a couple of models, including my most complex model yet. As a preview, here is a render of the Gilpin Ore Car in HOn2.
Description: A Gilpin Tramway Ore Car from the 3rd order of cars, ordered in 1895. The cars were numbered 86-155. Requires some 28 gauge wire to represent the spacing rods across the top of the car, and to represent the brake stems, as well as Z-scale Archbar Trucks. To complete the model, Link and Pin couplers and the Brake Wheel should also be purchased, which are designed to be compatible with this model. In addition, 2 M0.5 0.50UNM Metric Screws are necessary to secure the link and pin couplers. The link can be simulated with 0.7mm wire (such as that used in a paperclip. The car is HO scale, 2' gauge, represented using Z-gauge tracks (6.5mm) which equates to 22.3" in HO scale. Recommended in Frosted Extreme Detail or Frosted Ultra Detail options. Polished materials may have reduced detail.
I am quite pleased with the result and eager to hold the prototype. This will definitely be the subject of an upcoming post.
Please check it out!
