Does anyone know if the cyber hobby (orange box) rail cars fit the Trump tracks or if they need to be modified in or out? And as I haven't bought any before, how good are the kits?

This question was discussed on another thread here in Armorama and answer was no, they donīt fit. Modification is needed but I canīt remember which way..

Hi Guys,
A question if you don't mind. Who makes lengths of European 1/35 scale railway track? I'm just finishing off the Bronco 17pdr and I want to display it deployed and dug in behind a railway track.
Thanks
Al

Dragon has released just railroad tracks in 1/35 but that was years ago and I think, they are out of market right now, unless you got lucky and find them on ebay or somewhere else.....

The question is does DML stuff fit Trumpeter Track? The answer is YES it will fit. DML track and Trumpeter track match, they will go together. I like the Trumpeter track better, because it can be used to make curves and switches.

Hey !
not long to go now.
I've got two conversions planned, both in my usual Braille Scale
one fairly simple; mounting an AA gun on a flat wagon.
and the other a bit harder; converting a BP-42 Kanonenwagen into a version which had a flak gun mounted at the other end to the cannon. (Different to the Kanonenwagen with 20 mm quad flak) I found a few wartime pictures of one to use for reference. I'll post more details after 01 November when we get underway.
below is my recent completed build, took me from February to September to complete this, including the diorama
cheers

Newish forum member here but not new to modeling. I did take a 10 year break (to do a model railroad) but am back into armor. Hobby Boss tiny scale Br52 will be my campaign choice. Looking forward to a good build!

13 days till we start guys! Iv'e been sitting on this partial dio since I joined and am amped to get it done now. I think I have everything but a few figures ( had to change from original idea, troop uniforms did not match, airbourne and glider troops were same ). Another trip to lhs for some wood and styrene, and I'm good to go. Now to figure where the camera is stashed. That could be a challange.

Hi Scott
welcome to the build, that BR-52 is a nice looking kit, hope to see some pics of it when the campaign gets underway.
the picture I pasted 3 posts agp doesn't show much. as the case prevents getting a good focus, and using a flash creates reflection problems, so I've pasted a couple of pics of the diorama, (minus the case) below. These have been previously posted on the Braille Scale forum, so some may have seen them already
I'm looking forward to starting one of my railway kits, come the start date
cheers

Nylal I really like the way you have the different poses postioned on the 1/35th equipment. It looks credible. Although a different time period it could just as easily be a bunch of guys in Aghan taking 5. Well done.
