@ Christo help this model measurements?

The measurements are good. I have two questions:
Are they two platforms or one platform in each wagon?
Do you have a photo so I can see the type of grid?

I will have to produce a minimum number but I would need to calculate how many fit in a sheet and I will tell you a price.

christo.

Christo the grid is only on one side

I think with more photos can Jason help.

What think you is the price for one grid?
I think Yiannis Hazapis have also interesting on this Project!

Andy,

I estimate each platform kit to be £8 each. That will be brass or Nickel silver (stronger) 0.3mm thickness. Made up kits (folded and steps soldered), post and payment by paypal will be extra. I would require a minimum order of 40 kits and I could deliver 6 weeks after payment, subject to the etcher's queue.

christo.

PS. The kit could also include (for the same price) the anchoring hooks, and any boards or detail that are missing in the Vitrains model or that they are in the wrong place and would need to be removed. I could try and get one soon and study what is missing or is in the wrong place.

Christo the model have many parts also the ferry-hooks...
I think we wait two weeks until the project gets around,
i have written a topic at amnizia forum

Hi everybody, I have added a couple steps photos at the N6 reference page viewtopic.php?f=13&t=118&start=20
I'm going to load a few more of the platform area later.

I think when I go down there within the next days I'll get some measurements too

What? Two types of step tread I suggest I do only the one on the right due to the limitations of the materials and design. But I would wait Andy's instructions?

christo.

PS. Looking at the corners of the Vitrains, I still think some changes would need be part of the conversion kit.

[Olympus]

@Christo;
it give two types of ferry hooks parts by Vitrains
with cones and without cones
but on the corners is limited place, because the coupling
(possibly is on the photo one step tread not original, rebuild from OSE after delivery)

I have an answer from Lok Schlosserei. The waggons are coming. I actually ordered 20 pieces each for me so that the project will be realised and you can get them from me as soon as they will be available. It will be 2014 though and we will start with the Gbs.

Ihre mail hatte ich bekommen, ebenso die Fotos, Zeichnungen und den Zeichensatz. Vielen Dank - auch für Ihre Bestellung. Ich denke, dass ich erst einmal mit dem Gbs beginne und das Fahrwerk für H0 mache. Später kann dann auch die Version mit Bremserhaus / Bremserbühne folgen.
Da der Gags "nur" ein anderes Dach benötigt. sollte sich das auch einfach machen lassen. Die Drehgestelle kommen aus der Großserie (Tillig).
Die ersten Ergebnisse können Anfang 2014 vorliegen, dann kann ich auch die Beschriftungen machen.

I am sorry for not translating it.

Cheers
Andreas

that's good news, about the translation don't worry the translator did the job just right

I have told you how many I'm going to get, we'll talk again soon
