[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by eridani</i> <br /><br />My late father was a POW on the infamous River Kwai. And I have just finished a book on the subject (Details at http://robinrowland.com/kwai.html ). <br /> <br />Reading intelligence reports on the railway, which listed locomotives and rolling stock and where they came from rekindled my interest in model railroading and I am modelling the area I write about in the book in the post war era when the railway was run by the British army. I have added freelance elements (since there were plans going back to the1880s for a railway on the route and a current UN proposal which I blogged last spring <br />http://robinrowland.com/garret/2005/04/un-proposes-to-rebuild-burma-thailand.html to create reasons for continued operations on the line ( one part was abandoned in late 1946 and more in 1948)) <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Robin, that sounds like such an interesting project! Daring, also. I've never heard of anyone modelling those darkest of dark pages of railroad history. Bon courage! <br /> <br />Rik (who just builds a generic double track mainline + loops to let the trains - any trains in the North Eastern US- run about a bit)
