Projects

Some models have been designed as part of a larger project, and require explanation of how to get the most out of the models. You will find information on completed and on-going projects on these pages – use the links for information and help files for various models.

Dam Project – This is a hydroelectric dam using spline models for the walls and spillways. Power stations, transformers, spillways and pipelines have included to make a complete and functional dam facility. Completed

Cross River Transport of Rolling Stock on Barges and Ships – A number of barges and ferries allow the transportation of rolling stick across water, the ship operate on invisible track placed at ground level (above the water level). The project information is in the form of a tutorial to place track and models and operate the ships. Completed

Operating Ore Dock Loaders and Ships -Functional ore dock loaders that load drivable barges (moved by tugboats) and ships, operating on invisible track. The ore docks are based on the Canadian structures, a gantry loader is based on the Gary Indiana industries and the Huellet unloaders as used at Gary Indiana, Lake Superior and Lake Erie, are available. Completed

Ship Locks and Dry Docks – Operating Locks and Dry Docks, modeled as transfer tables. The page shows how to use and place the models, for ships operating on invisible track. Completed

Prison Camp Project – A special request project, for models reflecting World War II German prison camps. Completed

Oil Tankers and Rigs – A system of transporting crude oil, using an oil rig, an oil loading platform and oil tankers (ships). It handles passenger transport using a tugboat and helicopters. A refinery completes the project, it unloads crude oil and LNG from ships for processing and despatches refined Av gas, LNG and oil by rail tank cars.  Completed

City Cat Ferries – Ferry models based on the City Cat ferry system used in Brisbane. Static and drivable ferries, and landing terminals are available. The ferries are renamable and they load and unload passengers. Completed

Aircraft – Flyable aircraft models. Ongoing

These web pages are being redesigned, some are available, others will be available again soon.
