Hi everyone, Iam new.

Here I have a model of steam locomotive branded Bavarian S3/6 for your review and comment. I made it with many kinds of material ( metal, plastic, rubber...etc). It can move forward and backward with electrical engine, remote control. Completed in 3 months

Looks OK!
How much paper is there in it?

I did know that I went into the wrong room. I knew that this room was saved for paper models only. Yet, I still posted my locomotive that was made from non-paper materials. There was just a very few paper in it (decal) to stick on the cab ceiling and the top rim of the tender instead of real wood.

Sorry for posting the wrong-material model but I really did not know where to go, buddy!

And, thank you for your compliment

Wow!!!

The research, level of detail, mechanical and electrical work, the colors and finishes -- all are very impressive!

And you did that in three months?

Beautiful work! Bravo!

Thanks for your nice words

Yeah, I made it in 3 months because this is the first one. However, if I make the second one onwards even other locomotives, I think the time will be shorter since I understood the materials, methods to form the models and all the supplies.

I must say this is a very impressive model - thanks for sharing

This is a great model. How did you motorize it? It doesn't look like there are any gears, or did you do it through the tender?

hi Jim

No, there's not any gear or piston or cylinder installed inside

. Just a electrical engine removed from toycar to install at the bottom of the tankcar. This engine is controllabe by a RC and powered by 4 pieces of AA battery.

I am now designing and building the one branded BR52 with the power of DC to replace AA battery.
