I got a New Years mail from Peter Zander.
As a New Years Hello he came with this link: https://www.filmportal.de/video/mit-der-feldbahn-an-die-front-im-westen

Interesting and maybe you know already, also his new drawings for Feldbahn Loks and other related materials, but these are new. Check it out Scratch Builders! https://shop.strato.de/epages/17786094.sf/secda2410b775/?
All in German, but a Google translator will help you for sure.

Have a nice weekend,

In the 1st video about the 5:20 mark look at the size of the artillery rounds stacked on the ground. I wonder what size they are and what fired them?

There's almost an entire sub-genre of Great War dioramas that could be constructed around the narrow-gauge trains used to supply the trenches. Blitz in France has intermittently had a set for its heavy artillery, and I have often thought of purchasing one and building a gun emplacement around it, but the amount of additional [auto-censored] that would be required (shell casings, food refuse, other garbage, tents) to make it look right would take years of work.
