At the moment it is a 1/16 T34-85, next will be a 1/16 King Tiger.  Cheers   [Edit 1 times, last edit by NixChix at Mar 21, 2010 3:25:05 AM] |

Those were Z scale at 1:220 ... tiny things.
----------------------------------------The scale worked suitably for toilet paper rolls (bog rolls) as oil refinery tanks. Now Scribe has moved on to world domination modeling.

A few days ago, a truck with a military vehicle on it near here got hit by a train. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D9EFQGJO2.html UP train catches fire in Saginaw wreck 03/16/2010 Associated Press A collision between a Union Pacific freight train and a military truck in Saginaw sparked a fire that damaged a locomotive and left an engineer slightly hurt. UP spokeswoman Raquel Espinoza-Williams said Tuesday that crossing lights and gates were operating at the time of the accident Monday night. The cause of the wreck is sought. Espinoza-Williams told The Associated Press that the engineer was treated for minor injuries and released from a hospital. She says the locomotive, one of three as part of the 100-car train hauling wheat, has significant damage. She says the military truck was hauling a trailer with another military vehicle on it. The driver was not hurt. Espinoza-Williams had no further details on the military transport. Saginaw is about 10 miles northwest of Fort Worth.

The boiler usually blew up.
