    Wow. Really, really nice work!

    That little passenger car has me thinking way back. Over fifty years ago. Believe it was the "Piker"? Sold by Walthers? Inspired by a well known modeler's own version. Can't think of a name... Always thought of getting one. Never did.

    Ah, yes. The small car is a brass scratch build I made after a pic I saw of John Allens.

    I thought that looked familiar. Absolutely stunning builds. They all look awesome, but can you tell us a bit more about the scratchbuilt paper structure? Just curious.

    I have a grading system for art work that can easily apply to what I see here:

    1. Bad art
    2. Good art
    3. Art I wish I had made.

    This is definitely category 3 or better. Thanks for the pic shares. Sadly my layout will likely be category 2. :D

    Your photos are quite Graffic !!... All seriousness aside, the era you depict was my very first RR era I was attracted to as a child in 1956. Nothing beats steam and the architecture of those times..And man, do you nail it !!! Love the gallows turntable and all the rest !! Not sure if you have a layout or not.. If you do, you have got to post pics !!! Your work and photos are an extraordinary inspiration... And WOW you're in Sweden, to boot !!! Amazing !! MH
