Fleischmann did a similar thing in a set maybe two years ago, infact that U boot looks just like the Fleishmann one. Here it is;

Basically by the time WW II was in full swing, the DRG had stopped putting Deutsche Reichsbahn on freight rolling stock and were just putting the letters DR on it.

Now the six axel SSyms flat car was in fact built to carry tiger tanks (might actually have been king tigers but not sure) east. The first ones were not produced until 1942.

Would the little sub have been transported on SSyms? Someone with a bit more knowledge on German subs that late into the war may know.

Cheers

John

The sub in question is here;

First completed in Sep 1944, operational Jan 1945, 285 made, sank nine merchant ships and one French destroyer.

I will hang on to the King tigers for the moment. Re my last post it is KING Tigers that I am talking about of course. Liliput still do the flat car, it is around for about E 14 so add the Artitec KT at E30 still not a bad deal for what it is is.

I will post a pic of my captured Russian tank on a DRGM flat car tomorrow by Roco know that I know how to post pics. How do you make the pictures stay on the page all the time instead of having to go to the link?

Regards

Anthony
