I think the details may be Verlinden, not sure, I got them years ago. The helmets DO have the white sheild with SS lightning bolts on the right side, but have the standard eagle on the left, yet it looks different than the 21st helmet. The hemets BTW are FOV ones ;) You know, the more I think about ...

It does look nice, but I know that Aristocraft makes a nice stone arch bridge in G scale that could be easily widened to 1/18th scale. It too is made on polysomething foam that is hard. It must be about 4 feet long too. I personally like the truss style bridge LGB makes in 1/22 scale. THe only thing...

Hey ram04 and everyone, I hope to get to the point where everything is wired and set up so I can take some tripod shots on the "bulb" setting with the digicam. It would look real cool I should think, exp. the bridge with it's overhanging light fixtures. It will happen someday, be patient !!! There i...

I think I paid somewhere between $50 -$80 for the cars each back when. Each light has about 3 feet of wire attached to it, so I guess that each stationary light will be powered by a transformer under the table. I am working on re-working an LGB floodlight car and I will post on it when I get done wi...

I'm not sure if you can get the light by itself, but I bought the cars on Evil bay years ago, then removed the lights and gave the flatcars to my grandson :) To find parts for these cars would be hard, so I guess you have to get the whole car :( Not sure of the floodlight tower, I think it was made ...

Hey Capt'n, The searchlight is the one that came on the Lionel Large scale(G scale) floodlight car. It DOES work !!!! I just don't have it wired up right now. I am fortunate to have 2 of them. I also use the Lionel floodlights from their floodlight tower(O scale) as searchlights in my guard towers a...

The Bridges at Rockhiem
These are the GOOD pictures 8) After working on my Dio table I deceided to add a second bridge to support Vehicle traffic. I had one other LGB train bridge laying around(and in the way) So I redid the far side of the Dio where the trains go into the tunnel and made it the other side of the river par...

It's a shame that they don't make alot in 1/18th :( But we got to do the most with what we have. 1/35 has alot of stuff out there, but the figures are NOT posable and MUCH harder to custom do their faces, ranking, etc.. Not all of us are micro detail painters :evil: I think when I get done with my r...
