I'm building a freight hub for my next Necromunda board. First up is the scratchbuilt container loader.

That is sweetness itself. Are you going to have a train?

Yep, there's a preview pic of the train and extra cars on my Facebook page

Excellent.

All aboard! I forgot to share pictures of the completed freight train for the freight hub table. As many of you know, most of my Necromunda terrain was inspired by Ironhands' work and, ever since he posted his excellent converted train, I wanted my own.

This is made (almost) entirely of old O-gauge Lionel cars that I received via Facebook train sale groups or Ebay lots. In addition to gaming, I'm also a model railroad fan, so I've amassed a pretty good selection of O-gauge trains over the years.

A freight hub is an excellent theme for a Necromunda board, and the weathering on the train and the crane is just fantastic. Every time I see this sort of hobby goodness, I'm drawn even closer to caving on picking up the core game. Looking forward to seeing more of your Necromunda work!

Very promising, I love the train

I love it.

On thing to consider is dirt on the cabin hood.
My experience with train that are worn out and rarelly repainted is that roofing is part of a train that is dirtiest of it all in otherwise top looking train its total dirt seriously..

Although it would be shame to repaint such little piece of wonder

It bothers me a little visually as a person who used to commute by really worn out train for number of years

Following up on yesterday's post, here are the completed structures for the Freight Hub. Due to the volume of the train, container lifter, and the various cargo piles; I really didn't need to make very many of them. In keeping with the aesthetics of the board itself, I mixed and matched various pieces from the Sector Mechanicus kits, IMEX Platformer, and old O-gauge Lionel train buildings.

So what are the rules for moving the train?

Looking good. It's a shame O gauge is rare in the UK.

Cheap O gauge is rare, O gauge is thriving (in part due to pop music https://www.justliketherealthing.co.uk [edit: okay the site is down at the moment]).

Nice set up.

Have you thought about making some flat cars to take the GW Munitorium containers?
