Hi Guys,

I recently sinded up here and I finaly have a question to which I hope one of you has an answer......

I'm a 1/72 builder and I want to build the hasegawa Leopold railway gun. But it would be nice to add some cars to it, maybe a flat car with flak or a cargo car with ammo, or something like that. Can anyone give me a link to reference photos or drawings of these "normal" cars so I can try to scratch build these things? It would be a great help.

Regards, Hut

I have a Dragon flat-car in 1:35 scale. I could scan the directions for you if you think it would be useful. PM me if you want them,

For classic german rail hardware the best reference I've seen is Marklin's catalog, there's probably a dealer near you, they probably won't have strictly military cars but it's a good reference for the generic hardware that was pressed into service.

Thanks guys, I hadn't thought of looking into a modelrailway catalog (overlooking the obvious again).
