Thanks for the discussion and inforamtion. I hope to continue this as it is rarely modeled to any great degree. Per your reguests... here is the address for the movie I mentioned earlier. Please note it is all together as one line. http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?collection=prelinger&collectionid=18999 PSNGRTRN, mentioned that I said the film shows an armor division moving to an unknown destination in 1943. He noted that the movement of an entire division would be extremely large and unlikely given the logostics. I reviewed it again earlier today, because what you said makes a lot of sense. Well guess what... Indeed they say a "division", but... if you watch it closely, what PSNGRTRN says is right on the money. It dawned on me that the train shown was not just one but a number of them. Remember that the film was produced for the War Department during WWII and was carefully censored. For those of you interested... there are several different ways of viewing the film either complete or in part. I downloaded the editable MPEG4 version which is 220 Mb in size. I have DSL and it took me approximately 20 minutes to download. Well worth the wait. I have a complete WWII Hospital Train, and enough equipment to put together a strictly passenger troop train. I'm working on replicating one of the trains shown in the film, and adding some of the elements evident in photos too. Its certainly a work in progress. Trying to use both N-Scale MiniFigs and 10mm Perrin Miniatures for military vehicles. Note: Perrin Miniatures are produced and sold here in Wisconsin, nice stuff, even though not quite N scale. Marc
