In my boat modelling days, the Germans produced some of the best models I've ever seen and their railway modelling looks to be of the same amazing standard. Even allowing for the fact that it's a large country and so has a lot of modellers to pull on, standards are generally higher than I've seen from other European contries. Maybe they are just very good at it or maybe they only publish the "creme de la creme".

Thanks for your kind words.
As asked by some of you: indeed, my buildings are fore most model kits from German origin (Vollmer, Kibri, Faller), but no one of them has not been altered either in shape or size, but certainly all are touched by the weathering-brush.
Platforms are made of balsa (shelve by shelve); most tunnels ae made of styrofome after own desing that fits in to the landscape of Souther Germany anno 1900-1920.
Trees are handmade (see the special subject on that).
At the moment I'm editing some video's I made lately of some of my steamers on the Cochemer Bahn.
The latest was put on Youtube yesterday, concerning the DB 01 147 (Märklin 39010) with lots (I mean: LOTS!!!) of steam. Enjoy.
And Neil, if you click in the above link on the link of my name - osterthun.frits - you'll find all my movies, with some Era 1 models running as well, after your hearts content.
Kind regards,
Frits Osterthun
PS: Robert, did I answer your email as expected?

Some fantastic pictures of locos.
Also a very sad story of the removal of fathers layout.
