Stellar work...I love the complete scratch build projects. I have wanted to do a WW II German Locomotive for years.

Question-Did you scratch build the wheels or were those wagon wheels that were used.

I would love to get my hands on those templates. Again very nice work!

Wow, that's outstanding!! How did you construct the base?

Hi, thanks for appreciate it. The wheels, as the other main parts where built with a material called here in Brazil "papel paraná", it's a kind of compact cardboard. First I make the wheel rings, and put each spokes around the center paper hub. To provide strenght, was used tons of super glue.

Beautiful locomotive model, all the more given it’s scratch-built! It looks nearly as good as the premium LGB G-scale and larger models
