This week I have been working on the tracks, repainted the ballast, I found it was too light, and added a brown wash, after it is built I will wash it in brown and a darker grey

I wanted to use the track from the railgun and from the wr 360 so it would be long enough, but there was enough track with the railgun alone. Weird though, the track from the two models is a different width, I had to shim the wheels on the Loc to make it fit

From what I read, they used refrigerated cars for the munitions, but does anyone have any ideas what kind they were?

The base is about 2.2m long, and 50 cm wide

I have added more to it, we got all moved now, and I am getting set up, it will also include a BR 52, a G10 covered wagon , and a another covered wagon, plus all that is already on the project. The base is about 180 cm long, and 30 cm wide

Album info

This is where I am now with the project, have started working on a base as well, pictures to follow later. I will be changing the yellow though to something closer to RAL 7027, this yellow looks to dark, also not sure about the track ballast, I made mine light grey, thats the way I always see it in Europe, was it like that in WWII. No idea. Painted in a base of Model Master Afrika Yellow, and Revell 37 Ziegelrot
