photos of german tank rail cars

[tiger205]

hi all
      i was wondering, has anyone got any photos of the rail cars the germans used to transport their tanks, in particular Tigers?, i ask this because i would like to have a go at building one to put my Tiger on when its not being "played" with, i think that would make a pretty good display piece for my living room, though i'm not sure the mrs would agree, any help with this would be much appreciated

If you did that you would have to get a set of narrow transport tracks and change them every time you took the tank off and put it back on display LOL

That depends I have seen a few pictures of Tanks in Russia with battle tracks still on though this was mostly used in times of emergency or there where no tunnels or other rail road objects on rout

i will be getting some late Tiger impact tracks soon, if i spent anymore wedge on another set of tracks, the mrs would put my family jewels on a railway car without me being attached to them

OZ the first has battle tracks fitted and the second two don't you can tell by looking at the drive sprocket
