Hello! After a slight change, I'm now in position to announce the developement of my project Esslingen - Ferrostaal. Here just a couple of pictures of an "artist's conception" so far:

Very good start, Kosti,

A model of the Mercedes was missing indeed! Keep us posted!

Update 16.08.20. GR: The project Esslingen/Ferrostaal/Mercedes is under way trying to cope with all difficulties caused by the Covid19. I estimate the first prototype to be ready to run on tracks by early September 2020. It will then officially enter the Beta 1 Phase.

Yummm!!!

Can make even old standard gauge fans switch to metric!!
How do you intend to power it?

Hi Iossif,

As far as the power is concerned, it will be provided by two Halling motors and gearboxes, exactly as my previous model the De Dietrich Dmu triple unit, which runs just perfect.

Beautiful work as always Kosta! I just wish that I had the funds and space to be a 2 gauge modeller! (that is H0 and H0m)
