Military trains are a fascinating conundrum. For years I've wanted to start building one, but my passenger train efforts stopped me. I recently started building some models for a WWII military train, and I'm enjoying every second. I'll continue to feed this topic for many months, I'm sure. Anyway, here's some of the finished and in-progress models....
SP F-50 with custom decals and 3d printed details
M1A1 155mm Long Tom
Allis Chalmers M4 Speed Tractor
PSC Pullman Troop and Kitchen cars

Nothing like a bunch of Shermans. There is an active thread called Military Mondays you may want to consider adding your updates to that thread. I believe it is in the Photograph Forum.

Tanks for the pictures
Nice work as always Santiago '... Luv it'..
Outstanding! Keep the progress pics coming!
Looking good, here’s to the peanut gallery, let’s not throw mud in his progress. No “wrong colored tarp canopy’s on the jeeps” comments, please, just don’t go there. Just enjoy the work!... Nice work Santiago; I’m glad I inspired you!
Very nice! Will you adding Armored Division assignments on the tanks?
Thanks everyone… I’ll try to keep it serious, but this is more fun for me than my passenger train project efforts, of which I’m proud of. Military trains are too much of a rabbit hole… and everyone gets all worked up. I think military trains are just super cool, and offer a great opportunity for developing new skills, like weathering for instance.
I know next to nothing about military trains but I can't wait to see how this project turns out!
