looking for railway car
Posted by zokissima on Tuesday, May 11, 2004 2:17 PM
Hi All
I know that Dragon manufactures a railway armoured car, one with an artillery and commnd turret, but I'd seen somewhere that they (or some other manufacturer) also make a simple flat-bed railway car. I've been unable to find this on squadron.com, probably because I don't exactly know what I'm looking for.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Big Smile [:D]

Yeah but forget the site's hype about a Tiger being regularly transported on this type of flatcar. The Panther and Tigers were too heavy for the dual bogie flatcar's; They needed the three bogie type, as nearly all pics of these tanks on flatcars attest.

Although the railway did use the twins to move them on the odd occasion, it was usually with bad results.
