<html> <head> <style></style></head> <body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Greetings!<div>In my collection I've been accumulating items for three military trains. These are in 1:87 scale because of availability of items.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, nothing to run at this time. Curious if anyone else is modeling these types and era's and the information gathered.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Tony</span></div> </div></body> </html>
