OSSYNTHS soundsystems

    sounds for models of trains and machinery and more 

I am building dioramas of industrial scenes. In those dioramas there are not only models of trains, but there are also working models of machinery and other types of animation. Before I began modelling I filmed narrow gauge-and industrial railways. I did that on an amateur format, but with sync sound with a very good quality. 

Looking at the dioramas as three dimensional movie pictures, I missed sound!

So I began developing systems that could add sync sound to the moving and even not moving objects in the dioramas.

Other modellers became interested and I started to custom build these systems (on a limited scale) and so OSSYNTHS was born.  

Later in co-operation with Narrow Gauge and Industrial an electrostatic grass maker was developed.

This website is mainly dedicated to the OSSYNTHS soundsystems, but under Grass Maker and More there is informatinon about the grass maker, there will be some photos of my models and dioramas and also information about the films. The old website is still online also.
