"Back To Old Mother Russia"
Except This Time With a Twist


Scenario : If Patton had his way..

Hitler died in late 44 of a Heart Attack.. Germany sued for a Condishinial Surrender.. The SS was disbanded, a new unit The Wolfs Guard was formed.. The Maltese Cross replaced the Swastika on all uniform emblems and flags.. The German War Machine was aloud to continue to build and develop equipment and arms..
This is a combined force of German and Allied Troops disembarking from a freight train on their way to OLD MOTHER RUSSIA Spring 1946.. The Freight Train is being a competed by an Armored Train

The Build
Hear are a few picks of a railroad station I am working on.. It consist of late war and what if German Armour with late war US Armour together disembarking from a freight train.. This thing started out from the Train Station set from Custom Dioramic’s.. It with a foom base with one set of rails molded in and the station building.. That kit was 16in. X 24in. and it has grown to 30in. X 56in and it is about to grow some more.. I am adding another 6in to the width and turning it a little on a angle.. I have a lot more work to do.. More figures and ground work to go, and more US Armour

Enjoy the Pictures...

Hi Wolf

Do you have a good source for Ironside kits at all, please?

Alfie

[Wolf]

Thanks Iansadler. This has been one that just keep growing. Like I said it started out as a small piece and it it still growing. I don’t know how I will even get it out of the house. I got to stop FEEDING it. ;D ;D I am waiting on my roadway and side walk sections to come in. Then I well be doing the ground work. I put six railroad figures together the other night, now I got to paint them. And that is one thing I hate the most to do is paint figures..........

Hey Alfie I get my Ironside stuff from Great Models Webstore. They have a source for them.

Hello Wolf, sorry about the late reply, I missed this one. The info you provided was interesting, I had never seen this stuff before. The Baluard kits look impressive although I've not actually made one. I'm not in all honesty a rail modeller, but the armoured train theme is something which has interested me for some time, it also allows me to expand my own modelling experiences and abilities.

Hi Wolfie , send an e mail to me at [e-mail] I have a photo that will be of use to you , how the vehicles were fastened down to the flat beds , this is for discusion purpose only title it securing of loads , cheers ian

[Wolf]

Hey iansadler E-Mail on its way......

[Wolf]

Hey Southsix1 that’s all right with the late reply. Hey Southsix1 if your not a rail modeler then what are you doing hear then. Just kidding. The thing that railroad models gives us is another avenue to explore in our modeling. Put a piece of equipment on a flat car and it takes on a whole different menu. I am going to get another Br52 Lokomotive from Trumpeter. This time I am going to do it as an armored Lokomotive and try to make the road wheels work [ role ]. I am in the process of making new bumpers [ spring loaded ] for all of my railcars, so they can be used on curved track. The rail cars from DML are broke down like Ironside’s stuff. That is the only thing they have in common. DML is much better, but Ironside has some other cars. By the way Ironside is the only one that has a correct shaped Scharfenberg automatic coupler in their Panzertragerwagen kit. One question for yal in England do yal still use the Hook and Loop system on your rail cars??

[Wolf]

For yal’s enjoyment hear are some more pictures of my Train Station. Like I said earlier a lot more work to do.



















That all for now ;D

[Wolf]
