Maybe Kel prefers little Eva (the original version and the best) or, perhaps, Grand Funk Railroad.
Unfortunately I could not find a decent quality clip of either.

perhaps, Grand Funk Railroad.

Excellent version :good: (I have it on vinyl around here somewhere :scratch_one-s_head:)

Haven't watched them yet, but one might be that version.

Not sure if the album will show correctly on my share, but the link in the comment will work for sure. This is amazing work! https://www.facebook.com/fulviohatesfb/posts/10154838031699449

The rock structure and timber representation is simply outstanding. IMHO it's very difficult to accurately replicate foliage because of the fine scales involved, but the representation in this model is excellent. Love the water effect as well.

[Fulvio]

He's incredibly skilled, for sure. As you can see from his page, he's done clinics on this, and I've reached out to see if they might b accessible.

In other news...

Jeez its hot!

[ausjack]

:shock: Bloody hell, looks like something had way too much weight on and the wheels were spinning pretty quick going off all the metal laying around. Probably one of the many ore trains that you see loaded to the hilt :dodgy:

Those are wood sleepers, All the big trains here in the West use concrete sleepers.
Anyway the train driver that did that is now probably looking for a job in a different area of employment :angel:

[JeffH]

Summernats be buggered. that's a burnout!

Anyway the train driver that did that is now probably looking for a job in a different area of employment :angel:

According to the engineers who would know, this is actually relatively common, especially with heavy trains and inexperienced crews. This particular one was a mid-train helper that applied too much power and basically burned through the sand, leaving 12 molten spots in the rails.

Oh, and just to get back on the MODEL topic, check this:

How's this for skills?



No, that's not a real garden. This is a model, in I believe HO scale. 1:87, though the guy also works in Z, which is 1:220. That would be fantastic if it was that small, but I seriously doubt it (I don't read German, and Google totally failed to translate the website :dodgy:).

This is the front of the house:


Oh, this one's on Z scale (1:220):



I believe its the section in the upper left...

WOW
That is simply amazing .

[Fulvio]

Look through the rest of the site. Even with his tiny dioramas, its impossible to tell where the model ends and the real world begins in his pics. WOW is right...
