Rush I work on the railway so don't know that thar "RUSH" word

, I don't think mine would be a patch on Toms but still not sure as I don't know which order to start, I think king tiger first then the Tipanther to tiger next, and then the Bulldog, I'm going to practice air brushing on the old panther tops and see how it goes so I don't spoil the one I'm working on. but I'm sure I will have loads of questions to throw at you lot. but I'm thinking metal tracks for my KT and Bulldog so I think that's my next purchase .so any hints and tips I'm listening

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... Railway... TOOT TOOT !
Sounds like you're on the right track Horses....Practicing on the Taipanther ... then freight training to the rest is a good layout.... as far as tips go.. it's hard.. the KT has so many mods ... it would be up to you how far you want to go...metal tracks are a green light.. perhaps the sprockets and idlers as well... maybe a tensioner ...think forgebear has them and welshdragon as well though droop adjustments can be had playing with the spare links...they'll definitely make the KT more beastly... the WALKER..VIETNAM or KOREA tough choice.. as it never really saw much service...with that said... if you went KOREA... the stored weaponry and gear would be similar to WW2 JAPAN...VIETNAM... everything changes
Research research... a lot of fun lay ahead..
