Today (12-7-2017) is Pearl Harbor Day. Show us your military equipment!

I have some other stuff in boxes, but I've been working on a tinplate Army train...  Just a work in progress at this point.

some Shermans for the front...

and some support from the rear...

Here's a few of mine.

HERE ARE MENARD'S NOSE ART CARS AND U.S.A.F. CARS

Love your consist, JOSEF.  I am putting together a military freight train, passenger train, and one that celebrates the victors of WWII.  It should be together for the 75th anniversary of D Day in about a year and a half.

Besides some of the Menard loads, which I also customized, tanker cut down to a more realistic size, as well as a Lionel trailer cut down, painted and decaled. The tanks, fuel truck, jeep , bulldozer, helicopter, staff car, rocket are 1/48 kits, some customized. All chained and blocked. The Lee and Stuart tanks are on drop end gondolas because of flat cars shortage did fit and were used for these, as well as motorcycles, and other small vehicles.

Be looking forward to your consist.

Nice Bill, I always like the 155mm Long Tom, is that a plastic kit, diecast or what?  Looks great.

Love the way your cars are displayed!

Bill, really like the Long Tom.  Remember having the model kit when I was a lot younger, came with a half track to pull it.  Have been looking for same, but, not yet........... some are still work in progress, and have more, including complete ARMY hospital train, mostly Weaver cars, some K Line.

Thanks Menards for building these great military items.

Being an Air Force vet,  I could not find what I wanted so I made my own.  Have several military trains.  This shows a scale Minuteman III  missile.  Missile was turned from maple from actual diminsions and decals were custom made.   This will probably end up in my display case due to size (15") The real Minuteman was transported in a 60+ foot container.  This was modeled in display colors as the actual combat colors were much different.

will try to post 3/4 version ( s guage) which fits better with traditional size equipment. 

Here are a few pics of the military flats I have on the layout currently.  Also have a Tiger I and a Sherman off layout right now.  Enjoy!

Here's an oddity I picked up on eBay a year or so back:  

Based on a #60 trolley chassis and, yes, it does run!

Dennis Holler

That is an 8" howitzer,  it is a quarter scale plastic model mounted on a flat bed

When I was in the Army 1956 to 1965 I was in an 8" howitzer battery so I had to have this car.

This is some awesome stuff guys! Love it!

Here's my military consist...assembled for Veterans' Day.

I wanted to post pictures of my Cruise missile on flat car like this one...

and my submarine on flat car like this one...

but I would have to take them out of their mint in box packaging and thus ruining their collector value!
