mozzer models Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Back in the 90's when i worked for Standard Fireworks we had Mags at Fauld camp Tutbury which at the time was owned by Blackcat Fireworks ( who now own Standard Fireworks) the stores were above ground concrete bunkers with narrow gauge track running though each one the track in the mags were still there in the mag when i worked the track in the mags was bronze put out side steal the plan is to have a thouge track with a point going off in to a mag the scale will be 7mm/On30 i can use after the comp to take photos of finished narrow gauge models as a off topic at Tutbury in ww2 in the old Gypsum mine workings At thirteen minutes past eleven on Monday 27 November 1944 four thousand tons of bombs stored underground detonated en masse. The blast took two farms and much of the nearby village of Hanbury with it; seventy men and women lost their lives.The explosion, which earned the dubious and lasting distinction of being the largest and most devastating on the British mainland, left a crater three quarters of a mile long and half a mile wide. there is a Memorial for this at the National Memorial Arboreyum http://www.tutburyhi...o.uk/fauld.html http://www.monkton-f...co.uk/Fauld.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
