I decided to start a new thread that would expand on the "1/30 scale railroad bridge".. This will include conversations about in regards to miniatures for the German military "Deutsche Reichsbahn".. I would like to see a K&C DR flatcar, or a flat/car mounted with guns or cannons! Or some DR support officers..
 
That would be real cool. Look at the train in this picture.



 
Here is a 1 Guage Marklin Boxcar (58241) with possibilities.

Just an idea

Usually around Christmas time, stores like Wal-Mart bring out trains sets for Christmas villages. They are usualy plastic and come with the track (often battery powered) Depending on what is offered by the manufacturer these could also open up some possibilities for kit bashing as some seem to be about 1/32 scale.

I actually used to have that model,, it was issued by Marklin in 2004,, but of course like an idiot, i sold it!! Now it is very hard to find! That is a perfect, 1930's proto of a german boxcar!
 
Here is a picture of a DR loko engineer! Issued by "BLAST MODELS". great uniform,, Wish andy would make things like this!

Thanks for the input, but Aristo-craft and Marklin make some more 1/29 and 1/32 scale items,, Even a couple of LGB items can be used with K&C

Nice, i saw that a few months ago on the K&C website,, Hope it is a sign of things to come! One of the better dioramas.. Very accurate, German RR lines often got bombed via air or via partisans..
 
Hi all,

it has been for serveral months now that I'm asking for flatbed etc train wagons and tracks. Check out the other threads...

The guys who know KC the best, told me "no way".
I tried JGminiatures and even he is not in the marked yet.
Although it would be very easy for him to make some tiles with track on it,
like the ones he did for Battle of the Bulge

I also would love to see a Limited edition Compiegne wagon, would be nice with some guards and high racked ones near it. Option for WWI & WWII

I asked Andy two years ago and he said no but I think there is a market for it because on the other forum there has been a lot of talk also about trains for toy soldiers.

Marklin already makes tracks compatible for KING & COUNTRY.. They just need to be weathered and repainted..

Yes, and also, they are popular with the 1/87 and 1/35th crowd.. I wish every manufacturer of 1/35 that made kits also made a "assembled version".. Then life would be perfect!!
 
It would be cool to see german troops "on leave or boarding the station" that would make an awesome seen..

I surtenly agree to this.

Also loved the Diorama some did about WWI troups going to the front.

Just send me a note, I'll provide you with a score card so you can keep

track of which cast of characters belong to each member.

Twinky, Skippy, Dinky, Muffin, Fleegal, Snorky, and Beetle:D:D

You will find several normal members, a lot of folks you see here, and

some nice Diorama Photos.

The $250,000 duck decoy, and $90,000 for a painting sight unseen......

well, youll see:D:D

Congrats on your recent Warbird takeoff.:)

Looking forward to the next landing!

I'm still hanging on the fence:eek:
 
I thank god that a European bidder didn't get it. Fellow in Florida who I've done business with before. Let's hope for a safe delivery.
