AnonymousER99 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi all Well I just took the plunge and bought one of these babies for half price on ebay just because I think its cool looking. Does anyone know if its reasonably accurate? It does not mention coming with tracks to display it on. I assume it does? Are there any aftermarket sets for it or even crew figures?? Its nearly 3 feet long so its a big beast isnt it?? Any help or advice from you land lovers would be greatly appreciated. PS how bout build articles? Anywhere?? Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz greenwood Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hi Mike. To clear one thing up it's a Reichs Bahn loco. And not used by the Kreigsmarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I have one in the stash and it is a lovely looking kit (in the box) It does come with the section of track and sleepers to display it on. I was going to buy the Eduard Big ED set for it but that is serious money! Let us know how it turns out. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODeller Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 This is a fabulous kit, gets my vote for best kit ever, only problem was with the multi piece base which curled up after gluing together but was pulled back flat with two pieces of wood and plenty of 5min epoxy! Also the joins on the base were tricky to disguise but the loco itself was an absolute joy to build. Added two modified figures from an ICM Tank Crew set which is considerably cheaper than the CMK figure set. Will do a better set of pics but include these two for now.
