Not mine, but I thought I'd share as its rather cool, 1:16 or 1:6 ? lucky guy having this set up in his back garden.

1/6th.

Some folk are just born lucky....lol

Jake that is an excellent picture. Some people have all the luck

I didn't know they made 1:6 scale train stuff, looks like that track runs to the end of his garden..Wonder if he has an engine or its all static.

Whatever the scale, it's one hell of an impressive 'moment in time' tableau. Certainly one of the best staged one's I've seen.

'Spectacular' is almost an understatement This looks as good as a film set. More impressive still, perhaps (and I'm a fan of good cameras and photo techniques), is the photography. The camera angles are excellent, and the staging first rate.
It's always refreshing to gape at something amazing. Thanks for the link

That's what I, as a photographer, was thinking as well! Really good job!

It's X gauge, but that's actually 1/5.5, next size down is VII gauge, but that's 8th scale.

16th is III gauge.

After my train track width question, I checked out gauges lol.

Mick.

That's something new to me, I've never seen on any tank forum a working 1/6 or 1/5.5 train..so your saying there's a gauge for us 1/16th guy's too? if there is I'd certainly consider buying some track and bits in the future for the garden

One of the group behind these great dioramas is Vince Abbot, he's well known in the movie industry for his animatronic figures and special effects ( Star Wars etc). He also had a big input in the Mark 5 tank used in warhorse.
