Hi all,
I'm a war gamer by background and hobby interest and am starting a project to build an 8' x 4' battle board (or terrain piece) loosely based on WWII Stalingrad and the film 'Enemy at the Gates'. I intend using the board for Flames of War gaming so it will be made to 15mm or 1:100 scale - so far as I can tell TT gauge is the closest to this.
What I really want is for one quarter of the board to be the end of a shunting yard - so lots of track, switchovers, points etc. Ideally 1, maximum 2, locomotives and about 20 pieces of assorted rolling stock - NONE of this needs to actually work - it is just static that can be placed on tracks and left there for the duration of a fight.
So the question is how best to start this - any advice will be very gratefully accepted!
