Little gems ✂️

[Jan Kytop]

Thank you Aloniuk!
This is the German Sk1 (schienenkampfwagen 1) from 1943, a prototype road-rail tank based on a Panzer III (in Z scale of course); it could also pull up to 4 wagons. Tank: fiddlersgreen paper model on Rokuhan shorty bogies, paper wagon from Bestpapermodels. By the way, what is special about my wagon?

The Achilles heel of an armored train in hostile territory is its need for coal and water, as supply points can be destroyed or taken into the hands of the enemy. The solution was to take 2 tenders. My BR 57s therefore received a second tender.






Another solution is to have a large capacity tender with an additional extension like on this other BR 57 intended for my BP42 armored train. Especially since the second tender has been transformed into an infirmary, note the stove pipe warming the space thus created.

I suppose, it's powerd and pushes the tank - what other reason could ther be for you to put a two-axle wagon on bogies?!

Good evening Michik, nice to see you! Well done, that's the correct answer. The motorized wagon allows the tank (too small to house an engine) to move.

Wow!, that is very prolific!...
