Hi from Germany

Hi Forum,

Just like to introduce meself. I'm Klaus and coming from Germany (vicininty of Cologne). I'm an automotive engineer by profession but beeing somwhat conservative my interests go more along trains and steam. I'm mainly a 7/8ths scale garden railway hobbyist so toy steam engines are a bit out of scope until recently when I purcases some bits from Dream Steam for building a Heywood inspired loco. I've registered some time ago as what I found when it comes to Mamod and other things steamy just wetted me appetite.

My normal playground is here: http://www.7-8ths.info/

To give you some idea about what me modelling is about I attached some pics:


Reworked Roundhouse Bertie representing some Baby Bagnall on 18" gauge, figures by Rob Bennett (Busy Bodies)


Loco in the early design stage


Train on return loop

Hope I can be of some use to the forum.

Cheers
Klaus

Hi Klaus, welcome from Indiana, USA.  Nice to have another member from Germany join us.

For some reason your photos included in your post didn't come thru...just red X's.  There is a thread on posting photos and videos that should help.

cheers,
Roger

ehm, that's strange because I just tested the URL of the pics without beeing logged in to that picture gallery of the 7/8ths forum where the pics are stored.

Will recheck my previous posting.

Great to have you here.

Hi all,

Sorry if the pic do not show, but I have used these forum software in a couple of other forae (plural).

The only clue that I have is that the filetype is jpeg not jpg. But that should not be any  issue for a browser.

Some sites will not allow hotlinks, if you right click on the red X and copy the location and then enter it in your browser and view them.

I have done this a few times myself- if you are linking to photo's in another forum where we do not have viewing rights we will be blocked from them....

Welcome Klaus..KK!!

Hi All,

Thank you for that warm welcome, it's very apreciated.

Regarding the non showing of the pics I have no idea, because this part of the 7/8ths forum is accessible without login.

Will contat admin there.

The X pics are very odd, as soon as I put them in my browser they then come up fine on this forum- strange
