Dewes Bros. (construction paused)
In 2014, when I began to focus on model railways again, my wish for a scratch-build was big. Very little did I know about what I was getting into. My specimen of choice was this rather peculiar one with oscillating cylinders.
Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time with 3D planning software in order to build diagrams of the loco. I also spent some time and money to start the construction.
Further development of the planning and the actual construction is suspended and will remain for a long while. Nevertheless, I’m not giving up on this project and hopefully I will be able to complete her one day.
