It has been some time since Hobby Boss released a subject on rails, and this time we see a braille kit on the BR 57.
Hobby Boss’ German Panzerlok BR57 Armoured Locomotive (82922) is a newly tooled 1/72 plastic kit of more than 90 parts spread over 5 sprues. A railway section to display the BR57 is also included. When completed, the model is 495mm long and 50.7mm wide.

495mm long... I see the Hobby Boss site states four sections of rail bed are included, so presumably that means two of the sprues shown in the photo, which looks like it will be much longer than needed for the train itself. I guess there will be other bits coming to tempt you to fill up the empty track.

Very interested. 1/72 - I like. The valve gear and drivers are simplified but so long as the molding is crisp and fine, I am happy with that.

Glad there are more 1/72 offerings. They don't fit with HO but they look good next to OO ( 1/76 ) scale, like the old Kitmaster BR 23.

I'm exceptionally happy to see them coming out with this (and I assume the rest of the BR-57 consist is to come) in 1/72nd, as building this whole train is a dream of mine, but especially as a newly graduated student, neither the price nor space requirement were really feasible.
