Hey all. Been slogging away at lots of stuff. (and not finishing anything). And I'm getting spoilt with other forums and the direct upload of photos without having to use a hosting site. A while back I got some FoW Russian Katyusha Rocket Launchers (about the same time that "Enakan" did). I decided to keep them the length as built and use a shortened rail system with only 3 rockets per truck     As the kit came with 4 trucks I turned the fourth into a re-supply truck |

Need some advice as to whether this Matchbox Steam Engine and this model tractor are suitable scale wise.   |

For my money, they are close enough in scale. Go with it!

The John Deer looks perfect! Not sure about the train, maybe it is not a full size train.

 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_5700_Class from 1930 It was in my sons toy box. Pannier Tanks are Locomotives with "panniers" water tanks on either side of the boiler. Wikipedia (Yeah, had to research it) says they started being made in the 1860's. So a bit small being Matchbox, allegedly 1:86 scale and it looks a bit small but I'll use it maybe |

Very cool! Looks like it moves cars in a rail yard.

The locomotive is switch engine and looks pretty small. But it is OK as a background item.

Nibbling away at the command tower for my Ironclad this week. Firstly, I really wanted things to be dismantle-able. I have a well earned reputation for breaking things (IE My Overseer for one) so having tried magnetizing the base of the Tower itself and the ? flag staff / tree ? The Flag tree has a cylindrical magnet and the tower has two small magnets.  I've strengthened the towers framework   And it has magnets on its base that line up with some on the Ironclads superstructure and on the separate hex shaped base so as it can be used elsewhere.  |

The flag pole now has "rope"
I drilled and placed ring down near the bottom for the rope to be "tied" to
