Sal,

Count me in. Signed up already. Good time frame, will have enough time to complete this campaign.

-Eddy

I'm in at #10. Now all I have to do is figure out what this "railroad" thing is...

Happy Modelling, -zon

Eddie welcome aboard glad to have ya
@ Tom, it looks like you have plenty of more work to do and your experience will most likely help us all so I say welcome aboard as well

great idea for a campaign

i just signed up, i will probably be doing the panzerjagerwagen 1 or 2 (based on the panzer iv) in 1:35 scale

now to try to find one at a good price

Sal,
Based on your comments, I have enlisted to be a part of the campaign.
Thanks for your encouragement.

Tom Moon

this is 1 of the least expensive kit I have found in 1/35 scale

http://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Military_Vehicles/CHC00009114/product.php?micr=640&pg=1&ppp=24&sb=price&so=a&e=0

but I dont know if they ship to your part of the world

Thanks Sal for the link I think that dragon is the best choice for me, they have good stuff for reasonable prices. I also have my eyes on the trumpeter German WR 360 C12 Locomotive, it looks like a good kit.

@ Tom: that is an insane project you got there, and the camouflage is really nice!

About Baluard products, does anyone know the price list for those products?
Thanks,

Vladimer, Hit the contact space on tnier site and drop them a line. The small locomotive runs about $70.00 U.S. and included shipping. Takes awhile to send through thier system.

Cuont me on the Crazy Train, Im aboard .

I thinking about joining in with a Dragon 1/35 Schwerer Panzerspahwagen anybody got any reference/images of this thing please!

Regards Duncan.

I'm in with a start date of November I should be able to start and finish.
Tom

hi Sal, i've been eyeing this campaign thread and would like to enlist... i just don't know what i'd like to build. my grandfather worked in the train industry in europe and i always loved the old rail machines.

i'd like to build a streetcar or tram. there was one kit quite awhile ago (i think it was 1/32 scale) which i see now and again in people's dioramas. anyone know where i could get this kit? i've also seen a tanker car (the round capsule shaped container for liquids) done in 1/35th... any ideas what this kit might be?

i'm going to keep my eyes peeled for something that tickles my fancy or i may start planning a scratchbuilt railway machine. cheers, bd.

Welcome to the campaign !ruce and (om
!rucer watching your skills with dios this 1 has you written all over it

Bruce, I'm thinking that your skill set will lend itself well to either an industrial style diorama or an abandoned or scrapped car being perused by kids, trophy hunters, or people looking for parts/scraps.

thanks for the warm welcome guys, this is a great idea for a campaign and the timing should work out for me. i look forward to seeing the starting line. cheers, bd.

Hi Guys,

Have just signed up for the campaign.

Recently bought a Cromwell Models Drasine in resin from the Huddersfield Show..

The subject matter is not one that I would normally go for, but it was tooooo good a bargain to miss.

I now have a purpose to build it , thank you!


Cheers

Keith

Keith, welcome to the campaign, that will certainly be an interesting build does it come with figures too

Have just signed up for a ride on the crazy train. This, I think well be one of the better campaigns.

Hi Sal,
Yes it does come with a figure...see image.


Cheers

Keith

Hey Bruce, check out Baluard models for what appears to be a german street car/trolly. Custom Dioramics had one some time ago, Kit #CD6052 (European Trolly/ powered unit) and you might find it on e-bay if it's no longer available, could not tell you as I got mine about four years ago. bob d.

Aloha All,

As I started thinking about this campaign, the first image that came to mind is that famous photo of the locomotive crashed through the second story wall of the station, nosed into the street. Then reality set in and I determined I'd never have the skill or patience to pull that one off. So I went with the second image that came to mind...

The inspiration:

(photo by Ernst Dohany, published in German Tanks of World War Two 'in action' by George Forty, Arms and Armour Press, 1991. Photo posted for discussion purposes only).

The kit:

http://www.greatmodels.com/~smartcart/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=CHC9118

Not an exact match, but good enough for me. I also envision the possibility of a rather surprised driver and few others wondering what just happened standing about on the loading platform.

Looking forward to the attempt...

Happy Modelling, -zon

Zon, Nice choice there. I have the tank that comes with that kit but not the rail car Nothing in the rules says that you can't swap out the tank for one the one from the picture. looking forward to seeing you build come together

Sal: I thought about getting a more correct tank, but I also blew my budget getting Friul tracks to get the sag correct, which cost as much as a kit, so I'll be sticking with the tank that comes with the rail car. Besides, I can't imagine that photo shows the only tank that happened to...

Thanks for the encouragement!!

Yep, I am in! Not sure which will be built. More than likely another Drasine (not Flak this time)......or one of the many flat cars or armored cars. We'll see.

Mike

Sal: you were right! I do need to get a different tank. I received the kit yesterday and it has the suspension arms molded with the hull, so I would not be able to show the sag correctly, so I'll be getting new Pz III F from Dragon. Budget be damned!

I also ordered the wrong Fruil tracks (solid horns instead of open horns)

Oh well, wheels forward!!!

Mike: I saw some armoured cars around the web for a pretty good price, as well as some flat beds with MG's. Welcome aboard.

Happy Modelling, -zon
