Hi guys

Latest 1 72 rail project ,bit unusual this .this is the schienenwolf " rail wolf " when hitler knew it was all over he ordered the destruction of all rail tracks leading to Berlin to slow advancing armies this was the thing they used towed behind a loco the hook was dropped on to track and ripped up all the wooden ties as it moved along , this was part of his scorched earth policy.


The dio was made using a hobby boss desiel and scratch built wolf all torn rails were made from wood.Hope you like all comments or questions welcom.
