    My Name is Thomas,
    and I found this board at a search of frightcars.
    I build trains for the garden especially in 7,25" or bigger.
    My search brought me to your board where I found something about the Santa Fe Super Hopper.

    Fine to be here.

    Greatings Tom
    (sorry for my bad english)

    Hi Tom, Welcome to the Train Board, glad to have you on board. Please, do not worry about your "bad" English. Most of us have no idea what "good" English is...:LOL:

    This car was fully rivet, and i do it the same with 4mm steelrivets. I build also a hydraulic rivetmachine for faster
    work ;). Pictures will follow. Scale of the boxcars is 1:4. Locomotives are under construction.Something like this:

    A very interesting looking boxcar, especially to eyes accustomed to US prototypes.

    Hi,
    the reason is the same like in USA, the breakman is driving with the train and help the loko to break the train when he is going down the hill.
    In that time of this car they have only a simple vakuum break at the train, when the train is to heavy, he needs help from the breakman.
