Always enjoy your images. Have you ever considered adding interior detail to your passenger cars? I'm adding partitions at the restrooms, room sections of sleepers and the kitchen dining area to prevent seeing through the cars at those locations. I also like adding silhouettes: www.zscalemonster.com/stonebridge/7100/. Although these are mostly unavailable, I think they would be easy to duplicate. They all add variety to the cars. Mark

Did you acquire Jürg Rüedi's collection that you are posting here and on TB...or do you just post for him? I remember seeing very similar photos back in 2012+/- or so from him. From what I understand John Cubbin produced all the static dioramas and Tom Mann did most of weathering on the engines & rolling stock...and maybe Henrik and Torsja but not entirely sure about the last two guys.

I was lucky enough to acquire the fantastic pieces of John Cubbin from Jürg. Dirk and I are looking into changing them from static into a fully rolling "stage design" using the black box principle, which Dirk has outlined in the most recent issue of Trainini. In the meanwhile, Jürg and I try to convince John Cubbin to do some more pieces, at least one more master piece. I hope he will report here soon. All the best, Sven PS: Tom Mann is correct, and Gerd was involved, too.

In the meanwhile, Jürg and I try to convince John Cubbin to do some more pieces. John Cubbin does excellent work for sure and him expanding outside of the forums/websites to social media platforms with Raildig/Ztrains to YouTube is a smart move for z-exposure. I hope he does continue to release more castings he has used in his past dioramas and create new molds; he did post a video a few weeks ago hinting at new products for 2020 most likely distributed through Ztrack and other select_specific dealers.

I love SD45's, just wish the AZL plastic version sat like the brass one-it looks like a 4x4!
