Historical scratchbuilding
These 10 TT scale models of steam locomotives I made by scratchbuilding in the 1980s. At the time, only a very few models were available in TT scale. In East Germany, even those were difficult to get. So, many modellers were scratchbuilding their own rolling stock. Of course, the model quality is far away from today's standards. However, these models are a nice memory of railway model scratchbuilding almost four decades ago. The prototypes of the 10 models are Deutsche Reichsbahn and Halberstadt-Blankenburger Eisenbahn, a private railway in the Harz mountains, which is also known as the Rübelandbahn.
