For those people looking for modern US Army vechicles there is a guy on ebay that makes M109A6 Paladin, M992 tracked ammo carrier, M577 command vechicle, M88 Armored receovery vechicle, m578 tracked supply vechicle.  He says they are 1/48 but most are close to 1/50.  They look great.    Ne has an m113 but it has to be redone as I found some errors in it.  He does other stufff by 3d printing.   He goes byterrain3d on ebay.     I will post photos of the ones I bought that I have primed so far. 

Stay tuned for the photos.

Ok here are some photos of some of my military loads.  First up are MTH M60A1 on Weaver 50 ft and 58 ft flat cars.   I added 1.5 inches of deck to strech the flat car.  I used undecorated Weaver flat cars that I cut up to get 4 or 5 sections so i can convert a bunch of the 50 ft cars.  I had custom made decal sets made years ago.    I just finished these two cars this week.

hokey71,

I added the 1.5 inch section as no one at the time did a 60 or 62 ft militay flat car.   I have 8 or 10 Atlas-O DODX 62 ft flats that I will be adding loads to once i finished building my Tamiya M1A1 Abram tanks and finish painting the 3d printed stuff i recently bought.   I have been building my military train for over 12 years.   VBG.   There was an old thread that had some videos of my military trains on the forum.   In addition some years ago my MTH US Amy Genset was on the cover of OGR Magazine as our train club had an article in that issue.    I am a member of the TMB train club on LI.    Unfortunately we lost our lease last year after 10 years and had to break up our 4000 sf layout in Farmingdale.    Hopefully we find a new place by the end of this summer and start building a new layout.

Wow Randy, that's one very large collection of flats with tanks.

Frank go to ebay and look for terrain3d.   He has all sorts of nice items.    I have 4 more pieces coming this week.   His M113 is undersized and has too many road wheels.    I am hoping he changes his design to match the real M113.    The M577 you can make him an offer of 10% to 15% less than what he asked for especially if you are buying 2 or more.   He makes a M548 cargo vechicle, M977 ammo vechicle, an M109A6 self propelled howitzer but he needs to make the commanders hatch for it, an M88 tank recovery tank with the boom up or in transport mode and he has some new items too.       have fun.

Folk I want to show you some photos of my project using 3D printed modern loads.   I have about 60 vehicles to put on MTH and Weaver flat cars.    So far i have painted 39 vehicles.   I still have at least 30 more to base paint then I have to do the wheels, tracks, tools aand other details before I attach them to the MTH 62 ft flats and weaver 50 ft flat cars.

this is photo of full fleet to be attached.   On left some in desert scheme and others in NATO green scheme.     On the right are the 29 to 30 unpainted ones.

John B I have MTH US Army gen set, US Army GP9, US army GP20.    I have not pulled any of the cars as I do not have a layout but our club is building a 5000 sq ft layout that I intend to run on by the holidays when all the wiring is done on all 4 main lines.     I also use any of my ATSF, BN, BNSF, CR and UP diesels by MTH , Lionel, Weaver or Third Rail.    I have a huge diesel fleet.    VBG.   On earlier pages in this topic I think I posted some photos of my or videos of the the military loads on our prior club layout.
