mg: Yesterday I received my issue of Scale Rails from the NMRA, and saw a great article by one of TB's very own, Wolfgang Dudler, writing about his Westport Terminal RR and about putting a new motor and sound in a loco. In making the link to his gallery above, I noticed he's posted over 1900 photos and has had almost 119,000 views.:shade: :thumbs_up: Congratulations, Wolfgang!!:thumbs_up:
His videos on the WT are no small stuff, either- this guy does some awesome modeling work. OK Wolfgang, c'mon out.....you know we're talking about you- get out here & take a bow.
Thank you, too much kudos. :angel: I think everyone likes to show his efforts. When I participated my first FREMO meeting with my station Naumburg in 1987 people looked at my manual push-pull turnout mechanism. And at later meetings I saw this made by others and how it changed. When I first time came with my working gates at the Naumburg-module it was interesting. You could count to three. Then was the head of the people who watched the moving gates under the module - or they didn't watch! This was in 1992. At Model Railroader they made from my article a perfect drawing. And with a homepage you can show your work, too. I've only one little problem, writing in English, in German it is much more easy for me. :angel: I was grown up in Eastern Germany (until 1961) and there I had to learn Russian at first, not English. Wolfgang
Congrats, Wolfgang! I understand your problem. About 35 years ago, I could speak passable German, and even write a bit. But it always scared me terribly that I'd make a stupid mistake!
Excellent, Wolfgang! I've always loved your work. Gentlemen, we are in the presence of some real talent on this board!
Wolfgang, Let me add my congratulations to what the others have already said. Always nice to see one of our best modelers get published. Your work is always an inspiration. Regards Ed
