Mjwomack Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 mama told me not to come! but it IS the way to have fun, son.... Seeing as @Enzo the Magnificent has put up some ancient railway carriages, and mindful that @Paul821 likes a bit of railway in a GB, and especailly East Anglian railway, then it's likely that this will get moved from the stash/ cripple sidings https://www.osbornsmodels.com/ocww-aln049-lner-ex-ge-10-ton-ventilated-van-48603-p.asp So obscure it's not even in Scalemates! I've a stack of photos from a visit to Mangapps last year, so I really, really should, shouldn't I?! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'm really struggling to narrow down my options for this one - there's far too much that I want to build! Current front runners are an An-22, Welsh Models CL-44 Guppy, C-46, DH Dove/Devon, RAF Tristar and C-97 or KC-97. Before anyone asks what Enzo would say, there's no way all of them are getting built! The one that appeals the most right now is the An-22 but as I'm planning on a Super Guppy in the Japanese kits GB, the CL-44 Guppy would go with it quite nicely. So those two are probably the most likely. I'll have changed my mind by next week though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct I have introduced railway items inti a number of Group Builds and you are not the first with an N gauge wagon, I entered these two into a Blitz build some time ago: Meant for a diorama based on the old Ipswich fuelling point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Kato track in there (my track of choice because I can't afford marlin piccolo!). Yep one of those in the stash but no idea what to do with it! Well, beside build it!!!

vppelt68 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I know W.W.E.M.D. but I'm still listing here the stuff I have that would qualify for this GB, and from which I will pick up something to build: Airfix USAAF Bomber Supply Set minus a Cushman scooter I blitzbuilt a few years ago Airfix RAF Bomber Supply Set minus DB tractor and bomb trolleys, also blitzbuilt earlier Academy Jeep Academy GMC 2 1/2 ton truck and Academy Dodge ambulances (2). All of course in 1:72 scale and most fit to supply a heavy bomber base in Essex. V-P 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Afternoon gents, I hope to be able to participate in the TLC GB, so may I ask the higher powers please, if any of these contenders would not qualify as transporters, loaders or carriers: - ambulance based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter - Iveco Trakker 6x6 tipper truck - MAN TGE or VW T6.1 minibus (9 seaters, as crew transport) - Mercedes-Benz Antos swap body truck - Mercedes-Benz Atego firetruck - Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or VW Crafter in various disguises (long/short, high/low) for transporting personnel or cargo, or both For info all of the above are H0 scale 1/87 and would be done in either fire department or civil defence configuration. And just to be clear, I will NOT build them all Cheers Johnny b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Hello @desert falcon Fire department or civil defence would usually be OK. The only questionable use I can think of might be a water cannon; even with those, the use cases vary. Any scale would be OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, the minibus would be one like this one. It’s used to transport the additional emergency crew required for any kind of emergency/disaster the civil defence (known as Technisches Hilswerk, THW in Germany) would be called for and is registered as an emergency vehicle. Any fire department in Germany would have something like this too, only of course in fire department colours. No issues if it doesn’t qualify, I’ll likely give one of the German THW civil defence trucks a go anyway, or maybe the ambulance.

Hockeyboy76 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 @Robert Stuart, In the rules it says any scale. Hope this includes “Egg” scale. I have a lovely 747 Shuttle carrier just waiting for this type of GB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 You have got some interesting subjects in this GB. I have this in the stash, would it be eligible? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTninja Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Once the last of my parts arrive next week, I'll throw up my build thread. Been mainly doing research, but it will still require some improvisations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Was hoping to join but out spring redecoration has started and I'm stuck working on one small build at a time for foreseeable future and with the blackbird for the recce GB also to start, looking less likely my Airfix Dakota will appear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby No Mac Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I may be setting myself up for a fall trying to complete a Miniart kit in a GB but I couldn't resist picking this: What more precious cargo could there be than beer? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box art say 'Miniature series', I'd hope the beer came in litre bottles myself. I reckon you've got the measure of the BM massif though!! this will be followed eagerly in case anything falls off the back of a lorry! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
