The building became a real
multimaterial mix.

styren strips, sheets and some etched details from my own scrap box.

Some of the material used for the roofing details.
The lift is built from styren strips in different sizes with fences cut
out
from the barbed fencing below.

.
Two etched bodies used for the service vehicles.
To the left an original railcar aimed to be a PMV (Staff Motor Unit)
To the right an etched body representing the rebuilt version used for the LMV..
Both bodies was in fact fetched from a scrap box and was originally a
couple of
test shots made by Entec, which can explain the bad conditions of
the right body.

The etched sides was strenghten with 0,75mm styren sheet.
The roof ends was built up with Plastic Padding Universal Power Epoxy

The
glazing of the front windows is made from gloss varnish.

Some
adjustments were necessary to make the Tomix chassies to fit and
look right.
The chassis were shortened a few millimeters in each end, new
etched boogie and wheel sides were added as well as the ploughs in
each end |

The day when the construction sector people arrived.
A short N scale story of the first mission of the new service
vehicles.
|
|
Det
tog Banverket nästan exakt fem månader att ta sig en titt
på de omfattande skador som drabbade
kontaktledningsbryggorna i samband med transporten från
modulmötet på Järnvägsmuseét i oktober. Tydligen
har återställningsarbetet inte prioriterats utan man har
tillfälligt löst problemet med att sätta in diesellok i
godstrafiken och persontrafiken, ja den lade man helt enkelt
ner.
Last time the layout was on show was in early october 2006,
at a module meeting at the Railway Museum in Gävle. On
it´s way home the layout was hit by a minor disaster,
actually in the last bend while carrying it down to the
basement. The results was an amount of broken overhead
catanary bridges and posts.
The work with the rebuildning of the broken post and bridges
has been delayed, dealyed and delayed.
It seems like that the local construction sector district
have not set focus on this project.
And they have certainly suffered of the lack of specific
resources; man
power and service vehicles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
But finally, a good five month after the disaster a staff
wagon arrives at Skultuna.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even some "hot shots" from the branch office has arrived by
car.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
In
the afternoon the LMV arrives.

The damage is inspected from all angels
and is
followed
by intense discussions
of what and how things should be done...........
|
|
|
|
|
|
A man from the "local" is catching the scene, or
maybe it´s only an ordinary train freak
