I am not very sure... I think it's an optical effect. Infact if you have already been into an "Antriebsstation" and you have looked out of the station you see that the glass is transparent and not dark

Why do you think to make glass darker?

Yes, my platic plate is 1mm thick and it is very strong. I would like to build a new roof for the station, but I will do it next year otherwise I will lose time to be ready for winter season 2013/2014
Thanks for compliments

Skilift Genzianella is now officially closed. It will never work again

Hi guys! Well, I am finally here to show some interesting (I hope for you too) news. I don't want to write all the new parts and things, or it will become a very long post :tongue: I just want to say that there are automatic gates at the valley station! Support towers will be changed soon (I hope) w...

Really nice lamp! Where did you buy it, or how did you build it? Thanks for replying

Just returned from Argentera: what a wonderful snow!

The short 1SL in the middle of the wood is called "Larici" and this is its last one year of life. Today was closed too.

I'm glad to know that you like it. :ja: I'm not the first who has built double effect sheaves batteries with springs: I'm the third after two french model builder. Springs come from pens and I'm not sure if they are the best ones (rust)... :rolleyes: They are 4mm of diameter with a M3 bar inside them.

Hi guys! I have some news for you. I haven't got photos from the model, but I'd like to show you the new piece which I built yesterday. It is a double effect sheave batteries, it works great, like reals. It works with JC models too ;D http://www.funivieminiatura.it/gallery/albums/userpics/10002/4CLF...

Big compliments! How do you think to build the clamp (or maybe you already have one)? Please, if you can, to add a photo

This is my last chairs, it reproduces an old Marchisio chair:

Hi to all, mountain station is quite finished, I added all leds and they work fine (I posted some pictures about on FaceBook). But I have to change pulleys with bigger new ones. So I will have to modify some parts at supportowers. I also re-solded some parts at the maintenance basket and I added the...

Upper station grows slowly...

Wonderful work, Jochen!
Do you think to remplace the "old" T-Bar with the new one that you just show now?

Yes, it's "fondamenta per stazione"

I don't know, but it's the cement's plinth. It's very well built with four M4 bars in the it.

Thanks DieselTOm, lucky I always find some free time for my model.
Just a photo-news:

Many thanks Jochen
Here is the project, unlucky I will have only few free time now, because school will start tomorrow

Just added a small "widget" to valley station



Now I will start work at the mountain station. I've got a good project in my mind.

Thanks Tom, Jan and Markus!

Yes, I will build the peak station in the same way, but this work will be faster than valleystation because many pieces are already made.
