Reichsbahn Dio update ...
Posted: Sat Nov 14, 2009 11:01 am
I deceided before posting more on my diorama that I would start a new thread that said "progress" as I continue to work on my diorama. Not a ton has been done since my last posting, but then again I have been battling the latest flu bug that's been going around 
Between that and work, I've had very little time to work on my modeling. Yet beening that it's been over a week, there's been some progress completed such as ballasting, some re-track work and I have been able to get the main track up and running. That in it's self is a big accomplishment. I still have many detailing items to do and alot of "Staging" scenes to do, but I thought I would share some of my accomplishments as the work continues 
So here are the pictures....
My new 0-8-0 loco in service pulling the "aquired booty" train of plundered treasures from the taken over towns/cities back to the Fatherland for further use in the war effort.
This is a car load of "Secret" things discovered to be taken back also. Plenty of troops guard this car before it's being added to the next train.
I just aquired this old collector rare "B" version of an LGB car. It came all the way from Down under in AU from Evil bay.
My latest headache. Too much stuff in too little area. The Ju-87 needs to find a better home other than resting atop of my switch control tower :shocked: I think I need to make another storage shelf to put the abundance of locos and extra cars. The cars on the right have my building supplies - ie. extra parts, glue etc.
This shot shows the track in this area ballasted and ready to run.
You can see the booty train and a cut of cars with Pak40s in the foreground almost ready to head to the front lines. They still need camo tarps and branches tied down on the cars.
Another shot showing the ballasted track. Note the troop train preparing to head to the front.
Here is the start of the supplies I will be lining up ready for loading on trains bound for the front. Soon I will be aquiring some short red cross cars for bring back wounded troops, should make for some intresting modeling.
I hope to get more work completed and more pictures shot and posted. Perhaps thiese photos may inspire others in their modeling as well

Not finished yet, but soon will be. Germany's first atom bomb. I do have a second one too 
I thought they'd make a great flatcar load. Well it's back to it to work on the dio again
