Oz you're a legend mate. Thanks for all the emailed pics. I was looking through Modelzones stock of 1/72 & 1/76 kits today working out what I could use and how to fit it into the train layout :D Looks like it'll need a marshalling area inland and a small dockside prehaps with a few Higgins boats and LCT's loading up on the water. Once it starts to take shape i'll post up some of my photos.

your welcome mate,

i have a few more pics i can and send once i dig em up!!, i have one of a ramp made out of railway sleepers leading to a platform which is the hight of the flatcar and also made out of sleepers' the whole thing is bolted together and theres a couple of Churchill flail's sitting on the platform waiting to be loaded or just unloaded, the interesting thing is the platform must be at least a quarter of a mile long.

when i find it I'll Email it to you.......................cheers oz.

Now that was impressive but you'd think for $782,000 he'd spring for a couple more photos on the auction page?
