TJTX Posted Monday at 05:51 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:51 PM Are the few Trumpeter offerings of 1/35 locomotives the only real choice for WW2 German locomotives? Got another diorama idea I'd like to knock out ( trying to add some "life" to my building now. I don't know poo diddly about anything other than aircraft. Really need to keep it 1/35 or 1/32 for subjects other than aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJTX Posted Monday at 10:41 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 10:41 PM Those prices are pretty crazy! Seems like I'll cut my teeth on the Trumpeter BR52 Kreigslocomotive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted Tuesday at 08:17 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:17 AM There are a lot of fantastic paper models of locomotives, but they are mostly in 1/25, or sometimes 1/38. I do not know what your diorama idea is, but if there is any « Rhubarb » idea, how about a forced perspective with a smaller scale train / loco ?

Hubert I have two Tamiya P-51s that I want to have going past the train right after a strafing attack. The would be very low level so making the train seem much smaller wouldn't work. I like that the diorama would be longer in design than wider. Fits in my available display space easier that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a cool diorama. Can't wait to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
