Very unique ....great design work..

[@timbo66]

Excellent work, just bought a Leopold for my layout.

[@ANz3ro]

Sehr schön .

[@punkrockpub]

AWESOME!!! I gotta try to attempt to build something like this!!!!

[@herroberst4981]

Thank you

[@suzuki750stu]

Great video buddy, love the military stuff, cheers Stu @ Lime Junction

[@jasonpierce-newmodelbarmy3394]

Thanks Stu, glad I've finished it at last!!!

[@nxgames2101]

Nice one!

[@slepa290]

Hammerschlagg is a fictional WW2 German fortification,maybe,but the turntable is real !!!

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

Excellent! I always wondered how these railway guns were used, since they can't really be aimed on rails for obvious reasons.

[@rewrew897]

Well it’s I think one of 3 ways Turntable Curved track Or parallel track with switches, like multi track drifting

[@bigbloke7691]

Nice work, cheers

[@titleistdl1878]

love it

[@KristianWontroba]

Awesome!

[@ModelMinutes]

Very cool 😎

[@greydearing]

I read some of the comments so I understand how exactly you made through series of modifications however will it be capable being able to turn on a curved track

[@jasonpierce-newmodelbarmy3394]

Not unless it was a huge radius!

[@greydearing]

That's what I feared

[@chrisg9602]

Awesome

[@sabahtaha1746]

wunderbarr

[@kingevan3742]

Is it a kit or a model that is already built

[@jasonpierce-newmodelbarmy3394]

The only kits are the railway gun and the tracked armour, everything else is scratch or kit-bashed

[@angeltransportpjects]

The train we see emerging at the start of this video sounds a bit like a British Rail Class 20 locomotive! Other than that this really is a modelling masterpiece ... Nice Work :o)

[@punkrockpub]

What is the make & model of the Switcher engine shown in this video?

[@jasonpierce-newmodelbarmy3394]

Do you mean the loco? I scratch built it on a Kato chassis. It's not a copy of anything specific just something I dreamt up as a sort of experimental armoured loco. I did use some components from a Dragon armoured train static model kit so I suppose it's a bit of a 'cut n shut'!

[@punkrockpub]

Hi Jason! Where did you get the armoured walled roundhouse turntable at? Also, did it include the rear steel wall on the end of it?

[@jasonpierce-newmodelbarmy3394]

Sorry for the late reply. The turntable is a Dapol OO gauge kit which i modified. I couldn't get an N gauge turntable long enough!! The turret platforms and end plate were scratch built.

[@punkrockpub]

Thank you good sir!!! :-)

[@ExtraLeben]

Very nice.. And very nice tanks :) are you a table top gamer? :)

[@jasonpierce-newmodelbarmy3394]

No but, but I was a model maker before I got into model railways.

[@punkrockpub]

Hi Jason!! Who is the company that made the model of your LEOPOLD Gun?

[@jasonpierce-newmodelbarmy3394]

It's a static Dragon kit that I converted using and old coach chassis so that it could run on the track

[@punkrockpub]

Thank you Jason for your speedy reply!!! :-) Did you replace the original kit's bogies with some of real "N" scale bogies? And if so, where do I go about getting some bogies as well?

[@jasonpierce-newmodelbarmy3394]

I literally took the bogies off of an old N gauge coach that I had and grafted them onto the Leopold kit. It has the wrong number of axles to be accurate but I wasn't too worried about it.

[@punkrockpub]

Leopold looks Great!!!! Also, what type of system did you use to make the 88mm guns turn atop the bunker? I wish to build a diorama similar to yours. But, I won't copy it. :-)

[@jasonpierce-newmodelbarmy3394]

The 88's are scratch built from styrene rod and other bits from my huge hoard of scraps. I never throw anything away that might come in useful on a layout! The remote turn on the one moving gun is linked to the blast doors and is controlled by gears which I manually wind.

ausgezeichnet

[@paulchamberlain3359]

Then came the bombs

[@jimmywalker1568]

was Saddam after something like this

[@silverfox2358]

You forgot to put propaganda nazi swatica flags LOL. If you are really bored you could make a little n gauge hitler in his bunker surrounded by russian army in Berlin and make the dcc sound from a cut of the movie "Downfall" :D

[@juliuscaesar2692]

Lol
