I've been looking at some photos of Tiger I's being transported by train (on ssyms wagons), and I think I have to make a dio with 2 or 3 Tigers on wagons with transport tracks and all. My problem is that I can't seem to find transport tracks for 1/72 scale Tigers, lots of ssyms wagons from various manufactors, but not a single manufactor doing the special tracks.
Somebody know of somewhere I can get these tracks or where I can find info about them, so I can make my own, also how did they unload the Tigers from the wagons?
regards,
Steen

Check Tracks-n-Troops. If anyone made them, they'd carry them.

I would imagine they just drove them off onto a station platform or down a ramp. By powering only one track, the tank can make a 90* turn in very little space.
