Hehe whatever you do, don't buy the HobbyBoss' 1:72 Dora kit. Might as well scratch build it all. I spent a year making a drawing, not completed though, sort of burned out when the wagon wheels had to be remade as well. The rail itself ofc wasn't close to be accurate either. At least I figured out all the major detailing, which is bewildering when all one has is this one book in German, which contain only a single measurement, this 30000 millimeter distance between the two main horizontal pivot point on the carriages (and only for a prototype drawing). 🙂 Eyeballing details and correcting distortions to perspective caused by camera lens in photos, is tiring, but possible. Some photos are imo obviously doctored and possibly had been subject to censorship. Obviously HobbyBoss had no copy of any real construction/design drawing of the thing.

Ambition and courage are evident here. And what I see so far is very impressive. 👍
