Hi all, I was wondering if I could use Dragon's kit #6069, which is a flatcar for small, medium tanks and try to scratch up the pic below, or something similar.
Dragon also makes a smaller, one wheeled car with small sides.
Either way I was thinking of a large passenger or whatever car to be built on the kit # 6069 and the car in the pic. below for the smaller one wheeled car.
Both will be all shot up to he#l.
Think it would fly ?
I have been checking refs. and alot of train cars whatever they are used for have many different chassis and wheel set ups.
Thanks in advance.
Cheyenne

the dragon 6069 is a flatcar with loading capacity of 50 tos used for the panther tanks...
the railcar in the pic is a bp 42 and the base to to this railcar is the smallers...6086, 6085.

the longest wagons are the g waggen and then you can use the 6069 just the wheels because is much more large the G waggen as base for the ambulance cars and troops transport...
hope be helpfull

The DML machine gun flat car or the AA gondola would be better choices for small coaches...unless you made a long coach, then the 4 wheel trucks from the heavy flat car could be used.
I'm shy of any reference pics, but am reasonably sure they had troop transport cars on the rails...the only viable source for basic design would be any small LGB G gauge train car pics...these would be of the single wheel, two truck variety...do a google search.

Pzr 67, Old- Dragon, thanks, finally found some ref. pics., even if they are H.O. scale cars.
Looks like I'll do a dinning , kitchen, passenger thing, I'll come up with something. I even saw a generator car but it didn't really look any different than the others.
I was thinking about maybe using the entire # 6069 Dragon car laded with a small PZI or II, maybe a Stug 3b and building a small structure on the last third of the car [ a little artistic license ], just so I can show it all shot to he*l, along with the small car, as in the pic.
You guys are right for the small car in the pic. I think I'll be ok with the single Dragon truck cars.
Thanks again, - Cheyenne
