Thank you for the kind comments Will :D I'm slowly gathering bits and pieces along with information ready to begin this project. Before starting on my Rc journey I enjoyed military modelling and diorama building but haven't done much of this with the 1/16 stuff so looking forward to doing this again on the layout, I'll update with pics as the build ( slowly :/ ) progresses :thumbup:

Cheers,Lee.

Thanks for the info Tiger6, I've been doing some research on wartime locos and the railways in general, I'm planning on having a couple of locos running at different times with a variety of rolling stock showing the movement of troops and vehicles gathering somewhere on the south coast of Britain along with civilians leaving the area by rail also :thumbup:

Cheers,Lee.

You'll need a train full of Covenantors as well - aparently that was their principle contribution to the war effort, sitting on flat cars being hauled around the country for properganda purposes :haha:

I've got the Oxford rail Rail gun, It's from WW1 but was used in Dover in WWII. Its an awesome model if just to watch the 15 axels go over a set of points weighs about 500G as well. alot of model for the money.

That is very impressive looking stu, even in oo gauge :D
I've also been looking at the oxford rail and Bachmann warwell and warflat wagons, they come with either a Sherman or Cromwell load, bit pricey though at over £50 a pop especially if you want a few of them :crazy: hopefully I can come up with something suitable anyways :thumbup:

Cheers,Lee.

yes, I came up at the same thing, thing it when you look at the detail in the rail gun its stunning... and for £10 less you can have something that is a fraction of the complexity. however my rail set is a harry potter one for the kids. so I feel I can get away with a lot more as it a fictional environment to start with!

I happen to have a oo tank transporter and Sherman you can have for your set if you wish, I was going to try upscale it but it’s too small to do it
