LGB Train goes RC and pump up to 1:16 :-)

[xhelfix]

Hey ho,

at my playground i often use the train to transport something, smal Tanks ore other stuff.

Because of space, i use 45mm LGB tracks.
Alos i converte them to RC.
Steamtrain needs a battery waggon, the diesel is in front big enougth for an smal lipo.

But...the locos are mutch to smal, so i make the decision to take the tracks like smal "Grubenbahn" tracks.

So i make 2 locos, both based an LGB.
A smal steam train, and a diesel one.

The steam train original:

My conversion, just a bitt higher, that 1:16 scale people can use it

And the battery waggon:

other waggons:

And on the playground, in russian hands

And the second one, the LGB diesel loco. Original to low for 1:16:

You have a great life, Andy!. What a perfect place to 'get away from it all'- that is, the Sturm und Drang of modern living.

That's extraordinary! Soon Burt Lancaster will be working his devilment to blow up the track, as in "The Train."

Ausgezeichnet! Wird bald Burt Lancaster seine Teufelei machen, so wie im "The Train."
