During
the winter I have tried to make some new etched
constructions for a few models that would like for my layout
and perhaps even make them ready for kit builders.
Now in april, the first etched plates arrived and it was
rather exciting to try out how well the constructions would
work.
I have used Corel Draw to make the design drawings and then
sent the files away to process the etchings. |

- Ogt - A
weed control wagon (not present on the picture)
It was this wagon I started up with and which gave
further ideas for a few more models.
- Tc
Diesel engine
Built as snow removal machine and is also used as
haulage in different work trains
- Qce, the
small wagon, closest to the camera.
An older type of snowplow
- F5 /
FV1, rightmost model
A luggage van from the fifties
- Qax -
the model behind the others
A generator/ control wagon for ballasting trains

| Ogt
- A weed controlling wagon |
|
|
 |
|
The
prototype at Västerås station,
August 2004.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
The
first model of the wagon, built in 2004.
It was built upon a chassies of a passenger car with
a scratch built body of styrene sheet.
I was never really satisfied with this model.
|

|
|
 |
|
A
start, the new plate of 0,25 mm Nickel Silver.
First step is to cut out all the details and finish them off
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
This
time it is a complete model with
underframe, boogies and body
all made as etched details. |
|
|
|
 |
|
The
two containers attached to the
underframe and the boogies ready with
new wheel axels |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Now
the main parts are assembled.
Handrails, puffers and spraying ramps
will complete the model after painting. |
|
Tc
- A diesel engine to haul the Ogt |
 |
|
The Ogt train is normally hauled by this
double headed diesel engine combination.
The Construction sectors Tc engines
numbers DLL3116 and DLL3127
This type of engine was originally built as a
snow removal machine but is used for other purpuses
at other seasons.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
The
engine is built in a rather odd design with a
very special cabin. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Even
during the summer the big plows are mounted,
only the front plow is removed.
At this picture there are still much work to do with the
model.
A few more plows, handrails, square headed puffers
and headlamps should be fitted.

| Qce
- Another, but older type of snowplow |
|
|
 |
|
The
snowplow / track cleaner wagon
was built in a wide range of types
with different equipment.
This wagon was photgraphed at
Snyten, 1998-2000.

|
| F5
/ Fv1 - A luggage van from the fifties |
|
|
 |
|
This
was the standard type of luggage wagon in Swedish trains
during the fifties and early sixties.
Later it was used by Banverket (The Construction sector) as crew coach or stock trailer
|

The
wagon painted in the most common SJ colour.
