Superb modelling, very impressive and inspiring! And thanks for letting us know your sources, that brickwork sheets look very realistic.

Hi
 Needed to create some rolling stock for the boards, the scale is a bit mixed up but here goes:
Russia is narrow gauge in WW2 so HO/OO track is fine but I needed `O `gauge or `ON 30 `Gauge for the carriages. So I cracked of the bogies of HO/OO to match the track and hand built some quick carriages to reach the scale I needed.
Still have to do a couple of flat cars but under advise for my m8 Ade waiting for the early T34`s before sorting theses out.

The open top carriages are metal and will be a grey colour but the rest are wooden and will be a weathered darkish red.

Cheers AL

Hi Richard
Yeh except for the sand and brick  in the rubble areas as they are just to big everything else is super glued,makes the job a lot quicker.I use a tub of REACT 20g medium or thick depending.

Is that the Dapol crane? Looks the part if so. I might have to get one.
