Hello everyone,

Today there was another show at the Berlin Technology Museum. I have to drive almost 2 hours to get there, but there isn't much going on on the highway on Sunday.
It was nice to meet old friends again and there was a lot to talk about. Unfortunately, the number of exhibitors is decreasing here too.

Greetings Michael

Thanks for posting the interesting video of the show.  Many finely finished and unusual engines, and of designs not seen here at UK shows.  The oscillating Paddle steamer engine was a nice exhibit. Dave

Today it was that time again. The model building trade fair in Leipzig. Three large halls, and everything related to model building and creative crafts was on display.
We once again had our small booth for steam engines, internal combustion engines, Stirling engines, and vacuum engines. We had about 12 exhibitors. There was a lot to see. These 5-inch steam locomotives were also beautiful to look at.

Best, Michael

Hello Sanjay,
I had the same problem again when starting my vacuum engine: it took a long time to run. But after about 10 minutes, it started running, and it ran all day. Starting with cold cylinders and cold coolant causes major problems with condensation in the cylinder. The small water droplets slow down the piston. Other model builders then recommended starting with warm water. When the coolant is boiling, it runs at its highest speed! I just have to keep an eye on the coolant level.

I've not forgotten the Scott vacuum, we're just taking a break from each other for a while  That's interesting what you say when the coolant is boiling its running the fastest....I would not have expected that!

That grey loco is magnificent!

[Michael S.]

Yes, Paul,
this little shunting steam locomotive looks great. It's sold commercially, though. From the company mam modellbau.
The gray paint is a so-called photo-paint. This allowed the details to be better represented in the old black-and-white photographs.
The Class 80 was the smallest locomotive of its type, and they were always black on the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Like all locomotives in Germany from 1924 onwards.

If Leipzig weren't so far away, I would go there sometime.
