Projects
I'd like to present a number of my Z scale special projects.
Tim Buehring's Mi-Jack Crane
In July of 2004, with MTL announcing that they had plans to release a Gunderson Husky, I became interested in intermodal operations. I used my scratch building techniques to fabricate a Mi-Jack Translift crane...
Álvaros Garage
My Friend Álvaro changed the overall look of Rosetown completely with his fantastic cars from the Fifties. To honor his great work I've asked him to build a garage for Rosetown with his name on it...
Álvaros Cars Of The 1950s
The pictures in this gallery show how Álvaro make his famous cars. After he draws the blueprint of the car on on a piece of styrene, he then start to assemble the pieces with the sides and the doors...
Lionel Gazeau's Rosetown Station
Everything started with the wish to have a bigger train station for my Rosetown City. As you may know Rosetown is a pretty place to live and it's still growing. Because Rosetown is located on...
Rob Ray's Saskatchewan Grain Hoppers
There is a new paint scheme on the Saskatchewan Grain Car Corporation 4 Bay Cylindrical Hoppers and I read that only the HO and N Scalers were going to get them. Robert Ray realized this special project...

Stone Diorama Build
There were many valuable lessons learned on this build, patience being chief among them. For some reason this simple bit of scenery gave me a real headache. Maybe because it was so simple, I'm used to...
ZMod's Springfield Module, Part 1
During the wintertime Torsja and I talked about a small module in the ZMod standard that we could build together by preparing some buildings and other stuff at home and then finish the module during the ZMod...
ZMod's Springfield Module, Part 2
he foundation for the gravel roads are almost done. It's done by applying a layer of "Ice Crust" and fixing it with white glue and soap water. The concrete road and the asphalt paved hill road looks already...
Snake River Bridge Diorama Build
Working the brass. This diorama featured a new bridge from Micron Art, their Pratt Truss design. It was also my first time working with brass. Like many other people I was a bit aprehensive of brass at first but...
Snow Diorama Build
When Jürg and I spoke about a snow diorama I knew I'd want a snow shed to be involved. I very much like the look of old beat up and weathered concrete in Z scale, and a snow shed from the early to middle...
High Noon Diorama Build
This was the first diorama I built for Jürg and we wanted to go for a hot, desolate feel but with interest. The challenge was to add enough track to allow for interesting photos but not so much track that it would...
