Semboyan35 Indonesian Railfans

Hello there!
I hope you don't mind I write in english here... if it is a problem, please tell me so... I only speak english, dutch and german...
After building models of steam locomotives from Holland for some years, but that was getting boring and I wanted something else, so I started making indonesian engines. Indonesian steam engines are far more interesting and because they were in use so much longer I could use a lot of weathering on the models, which I like a lot.
I built them in scale 1:66 so I could use normal H0-gauge parts and track... the bodys are made of polystyrene sheet mostly, frame and wheels are parts used from old H0 locomotives.
Currently I am also working on a very small layout (120x60 cm) loosely based on the Cibatu depot.
stuff I've built so far:
C1127 as it was used in Cibatu in 1980


F1007, the first indonesian engine I built:


CC5012, also cibatu 1980



and various rolling stock:


At the moment I have started making some designs for the Cibatu-engine shed that will be on the layout
when any of you has some Cibatu pictures or know whewre to get such pictures I would be vary glad if you would share it... and I hope you guys will find this interesting!
cheers,
Floris

"Hello there!
Saya harap Anda tidak keberatan saya menulis dalam bahasa inggris di sini ... jika masalah, tolong katakan padaku, jadi ... Saya hanya berbicara dalam bahasa inggris, Belanda dan Jerman ...
Setelah membangun model lokomotif uap dari Belanda selama beberapa tahun, tapi itu semakin membosankan dan aku ingin sesuatu yang lain, jadi aku mulai membuat mesin indonesia. mesin uap Indonesia jauh lebih menarik dan karena mereka digunakan begitu lama lagi aku bisa menggunakan banyak pelapukan pada model, yang saya suka banyak.
Saya membangun mereka dalam skala 1:66, sehingga aku bisa menggunakan bagian yang normal H0-mengukur dan melacak ... para Tubuh terbuat dari lembaran polystyrene sebagian besar, bingkai dan roda adalah bagian dari lokomotif H0 digunakan tua.
Saat ini saya juga bekerja di sebuah layout yang sangat kecil (120x60 cm) longgar berdasarkan stasiun Cibatu.
hal yang saya telah dibuat selama ini:

Saat ini saya sudah mulai membuat beberapa desain untuk mesin-Cibatu gudang yang akan di tata letak
ketika salah satu dari Anda memiliki beberapa gambar Cibatu atau tahu whewre untuk mendapatkan gambar seperti aku akan bervariasi senang jika Anda mau berbagi ... dan saya harap kalian akan menemukan ini menarik!
cheers,"


ok, and, sorry floris, I do not have a single model trains, so I can only help with image and this too was not a model train, this is CC 5012:



hopefully the picture can help you .....

Wooow....it's amazing n beautiful!!

That's great, Floris.

Wow...I didn't expect if someone could eventually built this. We in Indonesia are working hard to make the HO-scale of these stuff, but yet to be completed though...

wow it's amazing, i really like it, i still try to make DD52 or SS1200 series, in HO Scale.

Well done Floris ...
Thanks for sharing and trying to "preserve" Indonesian steam loco model ...

I love the C11, you done well the weathering. Nice work, waiting for creating DD52

cheers
