By the end of 19th century introduced differentiation of mainlines and brench lines

 resulted from the aspiration for profitability.

 A conceptual frame was given to the refinement of the railway network

by the branch lines, stated as "Sekundärbahnstrecken",

witch were complemented by narrow-gauge railways,

The expenditure in railbuilding and signal facilities was lower, so that the  vehicles could be designed lighter.

Branch Lines were binding the local railways to the main lines.

It enabled developement of remote areas for more movement of goods

and passenger traffic.

Municipals and enterprises privilege was, to dispose of a branch line.

Increasing car traffic around the middle of 20th century led to the

back constuction of many lines.

 

 

Preserved relics of the pioneers days of the railway age provide about their origin

as a technical monument. Material applications in detail reflect high functionality ...

while transience and weathering turn their appearence into a romantically natures part.

 

etched models

            gauge 00 track  (scale 1:87)

bridge data

 

Bridges and supports are made to scale according to the historical buildings.

Divergences of the exact graduation are caused by technical circumstances

and also by shaping reasons,

nevertheless without affecting the aesthetics of the model. The continuance data of the originals are added as a data sheet to the model.

models

 

The models are produced by a photochemical procedure.

Technical drawings, transfered on the tins are the basis of  the essential form.

They are based on original plans, dimension sctches and photogrphs.

ro-etching models are made by german silver and brass in different strenghts from 0,2 to 0,5 mm.

Our experience in the assembly of the kits, under use of the necessary equipment,

effect the acquisition of a ready model reasonably priced!

 

         kits

 

Cleaning, deburring, and in particular brazing and soldering of the tins require

a high degree of technical skill. A responsible contact with all tools, as well as with

the construction elements of the kits is essential.

Experience is required in drilling and abrading as well as dealing with chemicals

like cleaning agents and pastes. A responsible contact with these materials

protects your health and contibutes the success of model making.

Children may not work unattended with the model kits.

The assembly instructions describes the nessesary  measures in the work process

technically. The modellers responsibility is required.

 

 

 

delivery

 

Delivery time amounts maximum 3 weeks.

Implementation wishes araise it according to arrangement.

 

   bridges abutment

The supports from gypsum are hardened under admixture by dry colours.

Stone joints also will be  filled, conceivably unsteady ...

causes a realistic finish of the surface.

     Variations

 

The material coinage can differ slightly from one model to another.

This causes in the chemical process during the production.

It does not affect the scale of the models.

Model bridge beams are coveed by model rails.

According to view there is no need to represent each hidden detail.

Therefore variation of detailing are available.
