I agree with Bezzo, I would also like to see photos of your 009 railway if poss.
I’ve been involved with modelling narrow gauge railways for quite a few years and even did a 3 year stint as Membership Secretary for the “Slim Gauge Circle” – modelling the American railroading scene allowed me to develop a layout based on the Wild West using HLBS cowboys – a couple of photos of which I have posted on this forum. I have a HOn30 loco and freight car set sat on my shelf ATM waiting for a future project (possibly in 28mm).
The photo really intrigues me. If it is in use in Russia it begs the question where did the loco (body?) come from. I know they were used in France, Belgium, parts of Palestine and Salonika but this one looks in good condition (apart from the deliberate aperture for the gun). I was wondering if it had been bought from the war surplus stocks held at Purfleet, Kent after WWI ? Is there any more information about it in the publication ?
And I agree with Bungle – definitely a rail showing under the body shell. The wheelbase of these units was only about 4’/1200mm so it is possible that it was adapted in some way.
Thanks
