which info do you recommend for the Japanese uniforms?

To be honest they’re made up but based on the uniforms of the Boxer Rebellion. The figures are Back of Beyond Chinese but are good enough for VSF  :)
cheers

Thank you  :)

Took some fairly decent photos of the train and rolling stock that’s been done so far. Most are from the Minicraft Vulcan kit but there are some scratch builds; most notebly the long bogie. The generic covered wagon and crane wagon use the same bogie but the ‘tops’ are different.

The loco and the two passenger carriages are straight kit builds, the rest are either scratch or conversions.

Well they're a bit impressive! I think the crane is my favourite.

Thanks chaps  :)

Why the die in the coal tender?

It was originally a count down mechanism to see how long the train had to stop before getting to the station (particular scenario) but it can also be used as a normal turn marker.

Great to see it again. I think it should make an appearance in the next game. :D

Simply brilliant.  I particularly like the armored wagon with Gatling turret, and the gun wagon.

I may have missed it,

This is an "O" scale train, right?  If you had a Tripod to go with the figures/terrain/buildings, how tall would it have to be, to be in scale?

Or close enough?

I've seen the 4' one on here from surfing, that tall?

Great stuff!!!
