Greetings!In my collection I've been accumulating items for three military trains.  These are in 1:87 scale because of availability of items.
1.) Troop Train ca. 1943 - Walthers troop train cars and a few heavyweights.  Goal is to model something that might have been used on the Rock Island using 4-8-2 as lead locomotive.   Status: still need information on Rock Island troop trains in the 1940's.
2.) WWII Tank Train  ca. 1942 - loads and loads of M4 Sherman tanks and related equipment on flat cars.  Status:  need accurate 50' 1940's era flat cars.  Lead locomotive: TBD.
3.) Desert Storm ca. 1990 (Gulf War) - loads and loads of M1A1 Abrams tanks and M2 Bradleys.  Status: awaiting the new DODX tank flat cars are coming 2016/2017.   Lead locomotives Union Pacific SD60M's; or Burlington Northern SD60M's.
Unfortunately,  nothing to run at this time.  Curious if anyone else is modeling these types and era's and the information gathered.
