1st campaign build. KESSELWAGEN by Sabre

I like it Sir

The Trumpeter (with ballast base) and Sabre are not interchangeble, I am affraid. As a matter of fact: bin the Trumpy rails. They are horrible.

Concur. Dark is good. The majority of the DRB motive power were coal burning Dampflokos (steam locos) and the soot got on everything. And when it got on the ground, the trains stirred up sooty dust.

This public domain* image is of a tank car. Note how dingy the dimensional data on the end it.

These boxcars are all a “boxcar red” or “freightcar brown” color. Note how sooty they are.

*I read Alamy’s release information and as far as I can decipher, I can use this image. If I am wrong, please notify me and I’ll remove it.
