Thank you!
So do I, but sadly it'll take some time until it get's warm enough to dust off the layout in the garden :/ A video of it on the rollers will have to do for the next few weeks

And here it is, hope you enjoy!
Also, thank you all for the kind words and reactions!
The valve gear working certainly looks the part, excellent job all round. Wish I had your 3d skills, or should I say the patience and ability to learn them.

Hello everyone,
time for one of the last "major" updates: The finishing touches have been made, albeit the interior and window glasses are currently missing. I sadly couldn't finish them before the deadline (my dad's birthday) but they are currently in the works.
I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out but I will let you decide for yourself!
So the important question now, what comes next?
Well, during assembly I found a few areas that can be improved in order to make the build process a bit simpler. Especially the valve gear is a little bit tricky since there is also a defined sequence everything has to be put together. Also as stated before, the interiors are currently still in the design process.
Then there's also one important info for everyone that is interested in a build kit. Due to austrian laws I'm legally not allowed to sell anything else than an "object of observation", which means it has to be a static scale model. In the pictures I have shown from the CAD you might have seen our "dummy" parts for the Rugens chassis assembly, this will basically be part of the kit. For everyone who wants to build it fully functional. just swap the dummy with the LGB chassis. The inside features room and mounting holes for the ESU 5XL decoder and ESU dual smoke generator.
As for different options of the class Mh, we will be able to offer it in it's original delivery condition, the later ÖBB versions and their current forms. Special details (like placement of the E-Generators or lamps) can be customized by each order. I will let you know when we are able to take orders but if someone is already interested or has further questions, just contact me by PM
That should be everything for now, hope you have a good start into the new week,
Ben
