  1. There’s a BR52 Kreigslok in the Nene Valley Railway, and another in Bressingham steam museum. These are some of the biggest locomotives I’ve ever seen.

     

    How did they even get here??

      I’m more talking about who owns them and how did they get them out of Europe and onto British iron.

      Good idea.
      I gave my E4 sparkles because it’s quite a special loco to me, plus the loco has been in a box for the past month so I thought it was best to bring it out for a bit.

      It’s just a bit of fun. It looks like the loco in Swindon now.

      plus it’s a temporary fix made of pipe cleaners, so I can agree it doesn’t look the best.

      I don’t know who built this engine but they certainly did a good job

  9. Ellis Clark Trains are going to make a B l a c k 5 !

      No, it’s  a heritage railway theme. The heritage railway has wartime themed events though.

  11. All the stock with me now. More stuff soon...

     

    the E4 runs as if brand new (even though it’s been stuck in a box for years), the 16ton mineral wagon is on loan and the Lima 4F is a mess (it’s frames do not fit it so I will make some more to make the  loco look as if it has no wheels and is being scrapped/restored.

      Notice the little shunter’s pole on the E4’s water tank. I made that out of a toothpick and some wire.

  12. A Hornby Dublo 8F with added steam.

      It’s not likely I will ever acquire one but I also have my eyes on 5inch gauge 08 shunters too 

  14. After playing Battlefield 1 (a WW1 first person shooting game) I’ve been trying to source a Char 2C super heavy tank in 1/48 for my layout. 

    The tank itself would be painted in British operating colours since it would have been a creation of the fictional Riverside Works for the anniversary of WW1 and also because the tank looks awesome. However the last Char 2C was stolen when the Germans attacked a train in WW2 that was carrying the tank. This tank disappeared in Russia so for all we know, it could still be there along with the Zaamurets armoured train.

     

    Does anyone know where I could find a 1/48 model of this tank?

      Yeah that’s close enough to the scale I need. Thanks!

      Thanks for the info and link to the website!

      I’ll probably just try and scratch build the tank instead.

  16. I used an old Hornby GWR yard crane as a crane for an Imperial Navy carrier tank in the Warhammer 40k universe. It suits it.

      This variant of tank was my idea and not (yet) part of the official vehicle list.
