What I've been up to. Z gauge and Z narrow gauge.

Not a lot modelling wise apart from these bits.

I'm impressed by the matchstick bridges. They look fabulous.

Very nice bit of brasswork with that tipper. But my vote goes for the matchstick bridge.  Now I can put the box of Italian  matches to good use as they are smaller than UK matches and are NO GOOD FOR LIGHTING FIRES!!!


Nice to see you are keeping busy.

Thanks for the comments on the bridges.
The woodwork  in the mine entrance was also supplied by Swan Vesta.
The handrail on the footbridge is actually a cocktail stick.

Next up will be a matchstick built platform once they  come out of the colouring solution that I am  experimenting with ( Cold expresso coffee with the used bean grindings put in the solution).

Latest scratchbuilt freelance 009 project.
Mounted on a Peco 10'wagon chassis, still a work in progress.

Cheers Mick, in the  background of that photo you can just see the tender from this


This is a photo of the cab for the crane with some of the detail 


Every thing apart from the chassis and the tiny bit of an old scrap Lima 0-6-0 has been scratch made from Evergreen Styrene.
The pulleys all work and the jib is hinged using tube and rod.

Crane finished



Loco finished- paintwork not pristine but unless it was a tourist line they never were.

[daveg]

Very nice indeed!

Matchsticks. Very innovative in N gauge. In view of the scale size of a matchstick, in retrospect I am surprised this is the first use I have seen of them since joining the forum. Especially for the bridges where they are being used for what they are rather than as for fabricated raw material. Don't know if that comes over but I know what I mean.

Lovely work, the crane is amazing.
