Hi folks,
I just uploaded some pictures of my latest train project: The "Riviera-Express"
which was operated by the "Deutsche Bundesbahn" in the 1960s. It traveled from
Hamburg through middle Europe down to the sea-resorts at the italian Riviera
coast.

The steamer is a BR 10 - I now were able to build a real black one, after I
started a white model arround X-Mas last year
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2605). The bad thing is, you
have to "kill" a 5571 black cat truck to get all the nice sloped pieces ;-))
There are 2 9V motors underneath the tender, that is just enought to push the
engine and to pull 5 over 50 stud long train cars! I build a blue 1st class
car, an italian 2nd class car, a green 2nd class car, a dining car (the red
one) and a lugage car. All roofs should be grey, but I just have grey elements
to build 2 complete roofs ;-( But black doesn't look that bad...
Have fun while surfing the pictures at brickshelf! And of course:
LMKWYT!
Regards,
Holger ...from Germany

| (...) "Riviera-Express" (...) I am most intrigued by the creative details of the baggage and restaurant wagons! The "tricks" used for the kitchen window/doors upside down are clever. Roof-top details and interior items are such nice accents. Love (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
