I am sure I have missed something here, but the stove in that picture should be vented through an outside wall, not into another room... if you know what I mean...
But your work is still incredible. You are putting so much detail into the buildings that the trains will be an anti-climax I think.

Hi Warren,
Its vented to the chimney liner, not to another room of course
the chimney liner is aligned with fist second and third floor up to the chimney placed on roof. From that line I ventilate the 1st stove. The 2nd one on the signaling tower section has its own chimney liner

While still working with the signal tower I'm posting some images on soft kits I completed earlier. This is just to keep you guys warm with the topic.

1/35 scale BOX WAGON from Tank Workshop is one of the wagons I will use on the dio.




I had some trouble with understanding the assembly manual and pouring damages with this resin kit. Any way I upgrade ed the kit during the essembly process.














There something wrong with the roof



The resin door railings were a bit bulky. I used brass "L" profile as a replacement






the base of round buffers were not bad but cant say the same for other pieces so I replace them with RB Model upgrade parts.













Need a step under the sliding doors

Thanks Michel,

The details such as locks, handles & ext.

















one of two sliding door was skewed condition so I decided to make my own.






This is my production made by wood and brass.



resin and scratch build doors...




I was also not happy with the original road wheels.





I replace them with special order aluminum road wheels. The rest seen on picture bellow are from Trumpeter Kits which are OK and used as master sample





Roof is fixed



Assembled kit:























Finishing...

Hi again Michel,

Here is the link:
http://www.rbmodel.com/index.php?action=products&cat=c_bm&sub=35A

These are the part numbers
35A08 Railroad round buffer
&
35A09 Railroad flat buffer
(each set contains two identical buffers)

Please note that you have to order the both. Because wagons use round buffer and flat buffers together

88mm Flak Wagon is another piece of model I will use for the dio.

There were several varieties of these wagons








This is the one I take as reference.






I started with an old Tamiya Flak 36/37 kit (kept it since 99 ) bud did the Flak 18 conversion with the remaning parts from a Dragon Kit..












Dragon 1/35 Schwerer plattformwagen Typ SSy was used as as a platform





A precise cut wit a help of a friend who owns a Laser cutter.













Had some spares left from another kit. I make a use of them for structure joints...



Also better to lock breaks before firing








Gun fixings:

Beware the Tamiya Flak 38. I believe it is the same one as comes with the 7/1 half-track. The detail is very soft and the fit poor. This actually made me decide to buy the Dragon version.

I totaly agree with the old Tamiya Flak kit. Its poor with details but surprisingly it fit fine with Dragon parts I added.

Was that plastic o balsa wood you used to make the wall?
I want to someday build the rail car that you pictured first with the 88 form what appears to be a luftwaffee flak car?

one word: wow!
at first, when I saw how big diorama you are planning to do I was anxious about it. It is not easy thing to plan everything to look natural and to place everything so that diorama will not look like desert. But now I see how many vehicles you are using and your attachment to every detail I may stop worring about it. I am only curious how many figures you are planning to use - you have place for at least hundred of them:)
At the end I will write: GOOD WORK!

Hi Cem,

Terrific work on the wagons and buildings. Real quality and detail which should make this one a winner.

Thanks for sharing the build.
