Building some rail terrain for 1/72 WWII games. Having made a start on this some months ago by prepping up an engine shed, I recently got the motivation to round out the terrain with track, a signals box and rolling stock.
There is a post over on my blog that describes the build. LINK

Lovely :)

The tarped load on the flat bed turned out really well!

Nice work. A visit to the post on your blog was well worth it.

Looks nice. My only comment is how very British the buildings and rolling stock appear. If you are playing a home guard or alt history Sea Lion it’s great. For continental you could look at model kits from Europe. Germany has a great deal of railway modelling. The track can stay the same. Other bits you could add are telegraph poles and signals, a ubiquitous tin shed is also an easy build.

Thanks all.
Jon, I will keep a look out for rolling stock that has a more ‘European’ flavour. I have a N gauge version from my 10mm stuff and was lucky enough to get a European loco.
I have some telegraph poles waiting to be made up and painted, they are from the Dapol kits and include a couple of drums of wire etc, which will help ‘decorate’ the engine shed.
I envisage this being deployed on my city mat and so with other buildings around, it should tie in nicely.
