Long time no see,

Well I'm working on a major project which involves trains and tanks in 1/35 scale. After some topics here i found out that a company called Baluard from Spain produces some locomotives in 1/35 for a better price then the one from CMK.

Well this is a German diesel locomotive from WW2. It's totally made op from resin and white metal. It needs a fair amount of clean up, sanding, filling and scratching, but nothing the average modeller can't overcome.
With the locomotive I bought a diesel engine from the same company that fits into the locomotive. After searching the net I found enough reference to work with. The engine was quiet 'bold' by itself so I added wires, exhaust, fuel tank and air tanks. I also noticed some airbubbles which have to be filled.

Well, enough talking, here the pictures:

I like the fact that this is the second 1/35 scale train project posted here. I will be following you on this build. It should be huge. Will yo be able to view the engine compartment when the train body is in p[lace? It would be a shame to cover up all that work. Please keep us all posted on your progress.

I agree with Animal on this. Please keep us posted on progress as the work done so far looks very interesting and well done.

Thanks for the replies guys. I sure leave some hatches open to be able to view the engine room. It would be a shame if you can't see it. And I will keep you guys posted on this one.

Wow! The quality of that looks amazing! Any chance of an idea of cost etc. Wouter? I'd love to build a dio around one of them!
