Train Show Airfield

Parked near the front end of the battleship are a number of WWII US Army trucks, armor and artillery.

There is also a small aircraft carrier, which in HO is still very large.

The dockside cranes are busy and there is another load of planes ready to be put on the deck.

An LST and Liberty Ship with destroyer make up more of the diorama.

Military loads on flatcars are everywhere to be seen along with civilian traffic.  

The hangers are very well done along with some kit bashing to make other airfield buildings.

Railroad service train cars are also present.

Train Show

This European train set up was probably close to 100 feet in circumference. 

This more whimsical train set up had giant dinosaurs attacking the city and various military weapons responding.

Here a dinosaur has a military helicopter in his mouth.

These guys used a mix of European and American buildings that I thought was very effective.

This HO scale battleship has got to be about the best naval wargame accessory ever!

It includes a whole pier, dock, tugs, cargo ships, aircraft and support facilities.

Mr. Diaz is responsible for all this naval activity.

Train Show

I went to a train show at the Anaheim Convention Center.

This simple amusement park set up shows what can be done easily and portable.

Carpet on the table top, store bought buildings and snap together track.

This set up was more elaborate, with boats and a background.

This European train, shooting past at high speed, was a sectional diorama.

LIghts, Inside & Outside

As the strange lights brighten up the sky, the Kreisleiter lights up his headquarters.

They have to report all such light immediately up through channels.

Are the Russians coming?

Do they have new way of lighting the night sky?

Why doesn't the Luftwaffe see anything on their radar?
