"Peter Shaw kindly posted these pictures to me of a diorama he is currently working on, its a 1/30 scale German Railroad somewhere in Europe during WW2.
Peters professionalism and dedication to the hobby is simply amazing and I thought it would be appropriate to show these pictures on TF so that everybody can appreciate what how he brings his collection to life."

For 1/30 scale, what is the train scale being used. Is it "O" gauge?

Hello Everyone!
I spoke with Peter about his diorama and he asked me to mention the following points:

" Thank you for your comments I'll try to answer some of your questions.
1. The water tower was influenced by my 1/6 construction. It is scratch built by me, also the Coal Crane.

2. The Loco underneath is a Class 52 built by me using the running gear of a kit suitably enlarged.

3. The Armorored Train is made up of several 1/35 kits expanded to 1/30 with all new guns.

4. With the exception of 2 items all my rolling stock is scratch built.

5. The story is ongoing as I am continually adding to the infrastructure. There will be some more photos in 2/3 weeks time."

I hope that helps, personally I am looking forward very much to seeing what else Peter comes up with!

Best Wishes Tom

Ok Tom this does not help me at all bearing in mind I have no talent, therefore could you make these please and I will send you the money, this is the only way I will ever get an armoured train. Imagine if Peter joined this forum, he would inject a wealth of inspiration to members & manufacturers alike. Cheers, Robin.

If Thomas Gunn or like-in-kind toy soldier manufacturer teamed up with a Toy Train Manufacturer and made 1/30 or 54mm scale military theme trains and rail cars with trackage and working period locos (limited edition series); a new market and interest would be born (even if sold as kits for display).
