Very nice set Martyn:salute:::salute::
I know that the rock grouping and back drop are JG Miniatures, but could not figure out the ground base? It is very nice indeed. I have a desert mat from Diorama but this one of yours is just more detailed........

That train is a beauty. My model maker has been working on one for me, I shutter how much he is going to charge me. Mine is a WW11 German, but I really like a train like yours for an earlier period. You are obviously having a lot of fun with this. Your figures compliment it or the train compliments them, either way a nice diorama. ^&cool, Robin.

Many thanks Robin :salute:: I'm looking forward to seeing what your WW2 train turns out like, bet it will be spectacular :salute::

The train you had in some of your early Sudan dioramas was great, loved all the Gatling guns {bravo}}{bravo}}{bravo}}

I have a feeling my train may be shipped to the NWF in a month or two :wink2:
