McCloud Models by Sebastian Winter |
|
|
Sebastian Winter recently shared photos of models he has built of McCloud River equipment. Sebastian writes that he moved from Germany to the United States in 2006, and shortly thereafter decided to start building models of North American railroad equipment. He pretty quickly found the McCloud River and its fascinating equipment roster, which led him to start mostly scratch building models. Sebastian's work is very impressive. Thank you for sharing your work through this site! |
