Bassettblowke Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Sadly none of my stuff survived my younger brother although I can’t blame him for my nice new used only once hand grenade that once lobbed in realistic fashion disappeared without trace despite an extensive search. Dug up some more pictures and quite a variety are still available, some more missile like in appearance, the metal one is available off Amazon.

Bassettblowke Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) The last one bears a resemblance to Fat Man but i am not sure I would like to model that particular subject. Here’s a picture of that particular device. And getting back to rolling stock a wagon from the Royal Navy Cordite Factory.

Bassettblowke Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Another childhood toy was the Lone Star midget submarine / manned torpedo as operated by the Royal Navy and the Italian Navy, the Italians had more success than the British effectively blowing the bottoms out of two British Battleships and leaving them sat on the bottom albeit in shallow water in Alexandria Harbour. the Frogmen could be dispensed with as they tend to look more like characters from an episode of Dr Who. The Torpedo itself would make a nice load for a flat. Edited December 11, 2019 by Bassettblowke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassettblowke Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wandering around a local charity shop I came across this little Tonka bulldozer which fits nicely in the well of the Hornby wagon. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
