Worlds smallest model railroad
by Kasper Fischer
It too me a while to understand but I think I got it now. This is an N scale diorama, made for a Z scale layout. Meaning first you take the prototype and make it Z scale. Then you decide your small 1/220 people want a N scale model railroad diorama, which is in 1/160 scale. This makes the actual scale of the tiny train layout 1/35200. Can your eyes handle that?

Märklin SBB-CFF-FFS Ae6/6 11453
SBB-CFF-FFS Ae 6/6
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ae 6/6 is a heavy electric locomotive used by the SBB-CFF-FFS. It is sometimes also referred to as canton locomotive ("Kantonslokomotive"), because the first 25 locomotives were named after the cantons, and carried the canton's coat of arms on the side and chrome embellishments (a single raised stripe on each side and three raised stripes on each end), and the Swiss coat of arms on the front, between the chrome stripes. These adornments made them internationally famous. The other 95 locomotives received the names of capital cities of Swiss cantons, and other towns and cities, but without the chrome embellishments. The namings were held as ceremonies in the respective cities.
Originally designed for heavy services on the Gotthard route, as many Swiss locomotives were, the Ae 6/6 was one of the classic Gotthard locomotives.
All locomotives were originally painted in the SBB CFF FFS green livery, with the number, and either SBB CFF, or SBB FFS on each side, all raised numerals in chrome. Nowadays about half are painted red, and a proportion of the fleet have been repainted in SBB Cargo livery, with all raised chrome embellishments removed apart from the Swiss coat of arms on each end. These locomotives have been renumbered (as class 610) in line with the current Swiss numbering scheme.

McMyler Coal Dumper.
http://www.gardenstatecentral.com/
As seen in the April, 2009 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine.
Full hoppers are pushed up the hill on the right and into the dumper. The dumper picks the car up and flips is upside down to dump out the coal. Then it rights and lowers the car. When the next full hopper is pushed into the dumper, it forces the empty car out and down the kick-back track to the empties yard.

Modelling Stowage on Tanks and AFV by Ron Haywood
A video which shows a way to quickly and easily add your own stowage to tanks and AFV's. Here Ron Haywood add some stowage to a Sherman M4A1 I'm working on. It is a good way to give your model a unique look and stowage is rarely missing from any WWII photos you see. Hopefully this method is so easy even beginners can give it a try.
For the magic sculp Ron used www.elgrecominiatures.co.uk and I think it's only fair to give them a plug here seeing as they gave me great service and they do stock a nice range of figures.

This dude makes some serious wrecks...!
I have never seen model railcars like the ones Richard Maarhuis paints. The level of the details are stunning and he really takes weathering to new dimensions. The talented canadian has been fascinated by trains all his life and used to live right beside the railroad.
He got into the hobby and started painting models 3 years ago but but have never owned a model layout.
