I have just returned from the Echtdampf-Hallentreffen in Karlsruhe Germany, quite an expedition from Leeds, Yorkshire, by car loaded with stuff in the middle of winter...
These are the pictures I took there. Please forgive me... they are not sorted.
If there is a special interest, just ask, maybe I do remember details.
Please go here, and browse

(there is a security feature in 'MadModder' preventing entries with many links...)
If you are already there, try to view my other albums too.

Lots of great work on display. I like the works-in-progress as much or more than the completed projects.
My favorite was the track grinder. :clap:

Wow :bugeye: That was a lot of very detailed pic's!!
The slide show lasted the entire Freebird live (lynyrd skynyrd) I had playing in the back ground.... That's over 12 minutes long :jaw:
Anywho, very nice pic's of some unbelievable workmanship..... Never will I have the talent or time to produce such machines.
Thanks for the posting.
Ralph.

I knew there was something I liked about you Ralph! I saw them live back in the middle seventies. Ahh, those were the days. :beer:
Johannes, those are great pictures of outstanding workmanship. Good job!

:headbang: I was born about a quater of a century too late according to my musical tastes!! ::)
Would have loved hearing all that "new" music in the 60's and 70's..... I got electro pop, Petshop boys, Duran Duran and Wham!!! :bugeye: No wonder I delved deep into my dad's music collection!

Thanks for posting all those pictures.That was a lot of great pictures with loads of detail. I would love to attend such an event someday but it is on the wrong side of the pond. :ddb: :ddb:
While there I looked at a few other pictures on your site and found the following which may be of interest to some of the members. I hope you don't mind me posting the link here. It is a newspaper clipping that tells of a record set by a model steam locomotive of over 100 miles. I will have to return another day when I have more time as I feel it will take many hours to view all the photo's you have up there. :doh:

The Yanks can it too...

of 2008 though, does anybody have more recent pictures ?
The Newspaper clips above are from an event many years ago on the track of my club, long before I joined.
It was a 7,25" Loco, indeed running for > 100 miles, without a single stop.
There is a little film, maybe I'll put it into YouYube.
Scaled up to 1:1 this is at least London - Edinborough, even the spankling brand new Tornado cannot do this...
The Loco still does exist, sadly at another club now, all but one of the drivers have passed away.
So what does this tell us?
