Sal,
Quick question. What constitutes a steel wheeled tank? I know the Panthers and various Tigers qualify. What about the Panzer IV variants like a Brummbar that has the front half of its wheels as steel wheels? I'm assuming steel return rollers, like those on a later StuG and Panzer 4, don't qualify. And a T34, does it have to be all steel wheels or can it be mixed?

Opinions are like certain other body parts, everybody's got one. I'm no different so here goes.

As it has been explained to me I now must say that I feel the Steel Wheels campaign to be a totally different animal than the proposed Raildoad campaign. I would suggest they be separated. I can't see a Panther with steel wheels being judged against a Br-52 locomotive???

Also I think the badge as designed would be better for the Railroad campaign. For Steel Wheels perhaps some sort of stylized close combat metal superimposed over the silhouette of a Panther or Tiger 1.

Again just one more man's opinion.

Hey Jeff no problem, if you want to runn a Railraod campaign I still have 3 or 4 more kits in the stash that will fit the bill as strictly railroad vehicles

Nice link of good ref

Are MOW vehicles allowed because they also have rubber tires:

I will allow those because they have steel wheels that are in contact with the rails

I find it ironic that the term paper that I am writing and will be preventing me from starting this campaign on the kick off date is about security of commercial freight rail systems
Kick off is set for this Friday so hopefully we will have someone starting by then
I will try and get to post some photos of what my planed build will be by then

Hope your term paper goes well !

Here it gents, start your engines !!
