To celebrate my old models

Last weekend, I created one of my 'semi-digital' pictures using some rolling stock models I made more than 30 years ago.

Interview on my railroad modeling activities

Under the German title 'Virtuelle Eisenbahnwelten' (virtual railroad worlds), the online campus magazine of TU Braunschweig, which is the University of Technology at Braunschweig, Germany, published an interview on my modeling activities. Several pictures I posted on MRH either in the blog or in the forum were used as illustrations. The text is in German but, as readers of another forum confirmed, can easily be translated online using the Google translation tool.

2017 photo season has started

Since I prefer to take model photos in daylight outside my appartment, winter is not my favorite photo season. Living in the North, it's simply too dark and cold.

Back to the roots

In March 2016, a vacation in Brandenburg state, Germany, inspired me to set up two temporary model scenes in TT scale combining models with real world photo backgrounds.

After all the discussions on artists inspired by model railroads and vice versa, here is the result of a collaboration between an artist and a model railroader.

Artist inspired by model railroad scene

In many model railroad forums, including MRH, you find discussions on whether or not model railroading could be considered a kind of art. Anyway, here is an example that a model railroad layout could at least inspire people to create a piece of art. The picture below, I got from Russian dieselpunk artist Inago.
