October 22<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is not going to be much model train this weekend. The goods I have ordered from NiceLED for mounting interior light in the Lima B wagons have not arrived. I suppose they are on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I am reading (and writing) a bit on the Internet. Right now, I am reading niels-modeltog.dk<\/a> and how he has built Svenstrup Station out of Heljan brick wall and roof plastic card and Auhagen details. I suppose the result is nicer than it will be, of one builds out of cardboard, where the contours in walls and roof are non-existent or wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plastic card can be ordered from Heljans homepage (delivery 85 kroner). Windows are another problem. I wonder if one should still make them out of cardboard? Or can I find some made from plastic? Locdok seem to have a good selection of windows, gutters etc. from Auhagen. But naturally that is German, which is a different style than Danish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am not sure how he manages to make corners, window openings as nice looking as is the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See also Sydvestjysk modelbaneklub from \u00d8lgod<\/a>. They have made their own cardboard houses. They have made some out of kits from Epokemodeller and they have been modifying and building Faller plastic kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some day, I want to build houses from Sp\u00f8ttrup – the station (see this film<\/a> from Sp\u00f8ttrup lokalhistorisk arkiv), Nym\u00f8lle Teglv\u00e6rk (Sydvestjysk Modelbaneklub have been building something similar, a chimney is available from Faller<\/a>), maybe Sp\u00f8ttrup Borg?<\/p>\n\n\n\n From time to time, I can act fast. So now I have ordered Faller 130507, which is a plastic kit for 2 German houses, which have to be painted to look Danish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the plan is to buy a bit of Heljan brick plastic card<\/a> at Hobbymessen in R\u00f8dovre in two weeks. It seems a bit stupid to pay 85 kroner for delivery of a couple of cards priced at 75 kroner. Maybe I could get my local model train dealer to obtain them. But right now, it does not seem that anybody nearby keep them in stock<\/p>\n\n\n\n I.e. I will stick to my plan of building out of cardboard for concrete buildings, but brick buildings will be made out of plastic. Maybe I will do everything in plastic when it comes to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was at Togdillen in Vanl\u00f8se after work to buy a couple of p\u00f8lsevogne (a very Danish thing) and a bit more. They have a lot of stuff that cannot be found in their web shop. For example a small selection of wood strips, brass pipes etc. And a larger selection of (very thin – 0,5 mm) profile plastic sheets, for pavement, steel roof etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They did not have any Heljan brick wall sheets. And I couldn’t immediately find any standard plastic sheets either. But they probably have them anyway, for I saw an Evergreen display like the one below. And I have read here<\/a>, that Evergreen<\/a> is the best there is:<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Evergreen sheets and profiles can also be bought in the Internet in Denmark at P\u00e5 Sporet<\/a>. However, they charge 100 kroner for delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Togdillen has a lot of stuff that is no longer being produced – such as the “p\u00f8lsevogne”. And they also produce some nice things themselves. For example a lot of houses from Korsb\u00e6k \/ Matador (a very popular TV show from the 80’ies). And they still have a few IC3 trains<\/a>, that they have produced out of Heljan parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was at Hobbymesse in R\u00f8dovrehallen today. It was mostly a shopping trip, where I bought the above mentioned kit from Faller with 2 houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides, I bought some plastic sheets, that are not Evergreen, but something cheaper from Witzel Hobby. We will have to see if they are any good. Otherwise I found out that Kystbanen in Charlottenlund is having he entire selection from Evergreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I bought the Heljan brick wall at RC Kongen<\/a>, who shares address with Heljan, but is selling the products cheaper and with cheaper delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I succeeded in talking with somebody from Risl\u00f8v Hobby about airbrush. It is not to be used indoor, unless one has an effective suction system \/ painting cabin, since a fine fog of paint is spread several meters away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the afternoon, I was at a postage stamp exhibition in Birker\u00f8d. There I saw the 3modul.dk club with a big model train layout. I had a good chat with one of the members, which made me consider joining the club (100 kroner per year).<\/p>\n\n\n\n But more importantly, he teached me how to mount 4 LEDs in a car: Connect all 4 in series and connect them directly to a 5V power supply, such as a USB charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And there are two possibilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Either the car is equipped with head and tail lamps with “real glass”, where the LEDs can be placed behind the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or (and that is almost simpler) drill a 1 mm hole and use one of the very tiny LEDs that are bought with copper wires already attached (they are smaller than the 1 mm hole). The LED is simply put into the hole (from the inside) and attached with a drop of transparent glue that covers both the LED and the hole. The glue he uses is Micro Kristal Clear<\/a>, which can be obtained from (among others) Togdillen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He also thought that the cheapest place to buy the LEDs is at ledbaron.de<\/a>. Web shop: http:\/\/stores.ebay.de\/ledbaron<\/a> I can see that they also has the very thin wire as well as tiny connectors. Or one can search for “LED 0402” at mouser.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have just seen a strip cutter from Faller, model 907004, for not a whole lot of money here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beside that absolutely nothing is going on from my side. I am way to busy at work etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have sold my MR tog, even though it had become quite nice and well-working with thin wires to connect the two wagons. I cleaned the wheels, lubricated the train using fat from Trix and attached new rubber “tires”. But of course, it is still a Lima train made 100% out of plastic, so I did not get that much money from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope the new owner will be happy for the train. And then I might buy a new MR\/MRD train when Mck starts producing them as promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides I am “looking at” wood for my new baseframe. And I have been printing the layout in 1:1 so that I can start the build. I have not yet ordered track etc. But I plan to have the wood available so that I can start building during Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" October 17 Tonight I am just reading a bit on the Internet.
