No Jason, 57 tons of steel would be out of my budget right now. I am working on the plans for a scratchbuilt 1/8 = 1" scale Tiger I. In the process of gathering information, plans and the like. It will be made from steel. I have a live steam guy at work that is helping me figure out the castings required for the tracks, mantlets, and things like that. It's my long term goal to make the beast RC. Best I can figure right now it'll weigh between 5 and 600 lbs. My friend is working on the drawings for the rail car to haul it behind his locomotive. I figure this is my 10 year project. And even then, it may take longer. we shall see.
