The Last Train 2057

Brother Macal:
Hi Folks!

I'm new around here, even don't know that I've wrote an introduction...

Btw, I'll try to introduce one of my projects, started in 2011. The model's lying on my shelf, wainting to get back in business :) It's based on a drawing I've made a few years ago, a post-apocalytptic themed train made up from bashed parts. It has a story also, started a little short novel about it (also never finished... )



A short prologue for the background:

In a Post-Apocalytic world, in the year 2057, 14 years after the III. World War. The War wasn't avoided the mother continent Europe, destroyed almost everything there, just like in Asia, in the Far-East, and Africa. The population of the Earth decimated, no just by the War, but the following diseases brought suffering to mankind. The situation was aggravated by the radiation, the curse of the nuclear and chemical weapons. And above all, there was the heritage of the biological weapons...
The war made a new world order, the most powerful nations weakened, even if they can preserve their independency.
The most of the population lives in the Safe Zones in huge cities. But there were other people, who are left these zones for adventurousness, for money, for the forgotten technological knowledge.
But the desolated landscape wasn't so abandoned, there were smaller-larger tribes, smaller city-states, merchants, bandits...
And there was this little mercenary group in the Carpathian Basin...

 So, I had the theme, had the parts I needed, and started the stuff :)
The flatcar is a RMMS style flatcar, the banker will be the Hungarian M32 called "Gokart"...

Flatcar:



Banker:






The flatcar has a superstructure, most from welded plates, with some extras, the sandbags has been made of miliput, and also used some other spare parts for the details from other kits. I have a semi finished scratch boogies, but have to do a lots of work with them, also have to copy the turned wheel... I'll use Trumpeters 1:35 rail set for the railway...
Still have to make a dozer blade like thing on the front of the flatcar :)

And the pix:

Wow that's one great railroad whiff you've got in the works, there Brother Macal! Your detailing is really superb!

We don't see much railroad stuff around here, so this is a great treat!

You're well on the way towards building a total show-stopper!

First of all, thanks All! :) Secondly, it's much smaller than the Leopold was, it's just a flatcar with a T-72 turret mounted on it :) It's rather in relation with the Panzerjagerwagen :)
