| It's from the view of my tank crew Seriously tho every time I try to post images here I have to check that it isn't the 90's and I'm on AOL dial up. Posted those images elsewhere in seconds and no issues |

Mine are in the shop. Mike, are you coming tomorrow? Sorry. My weekend was full. T-34 is fixed. Just need to finish the speaker for the KT for you. |

| Thanks Dean. The images always download showing in the right axis but as soon as I press upload they rotate. It has to be my phone or my desktop. I think a couple of AA positions and some of the halftracks and the train cars will look great around the V2 pad but I ran out of time as it took me a lot longer than I expected to lay the tracks properly and also required 4 more wheelbarrow loads of soil. I still think I it needs 2 more to cover that area properly |

| PZ4 looks good on the rail bridge and all your work on the railway is great!
SRY I couldn’t stick around and do more to help out. |

| Thanks Martin for looking after the tools for me...I was so OCD looking after the bolts, nuts and washers that I cut off the wheelbarrow that I forgot the tools where I left them. |

| So our battlefield must be in German theatre of war... That RR bridge is just wide enough to let a PZ through... |

Maybe Western European theatre? Especially with the V1 and V2 launchers set up? I can also squeeze the VK through the railway bridge with a little lube! |

| The Panther went through literally scraping the paint so I imagine a KV can go through. Shermans and T-34 should have no problem. Pretty well anything that isn't skirted like a Tiger or a JP and obviously a KT could make it through. I doubt any modern tanks are squeezing through. Considering that the lovely winter and spring weather has transformed the other half of the field into Afghanistan or the Golan Heights with the one kibbutz the modern tanks can battle down there |

| A word of caution about the bridge. The track is both glued and screwed into the bridge deck and the tracks extend out onto the dirt on both ends so it shouldn't be moved from it's position unless absolutely necessary |
