Holger, thanks for posting these MOC's of yours from the past.
At the time of their creation, you were 13 years old. I am very impressed with
your talent.
Seeing how large your old collection must be from these older creations, and
knowing now that you have regained access to that collection, I anticipate you
can make that coal machine as big as you want it to be!
Very nice models. I, too, prefer the European style vehicles shape.
But, as I see the US trucks every day, your models of some 16 years ago are
very representative.
later,
James Mathis
PS: I seldom get out of the .trains group. Thanks for the private e-mail,
Holger, to lead me here.
