Received word from Gill today that my Mid Tiger is on its way, so I figured its time to introduce myself to the group. Garden Railroading is what I do for a hobby. But, by accident last year, bouncing around on You Tube I came across the video of the KT being run outside the Armortek shop. My first and the lasting impression of the KT video was “that’s really coolâ€

Welcome to the forum, you will get four boxes and they are all well worth waiting fore. The best part is unpacking and fore the first time get the feeling of "heavy metal ". Please let us know your chassie number.

Hi Ken
Welcome to the fun! Great choice for a historical vehicle to represent. Looking forward to seeing your build.
Kindest regards from the "other" coast.

Welcome Ken.
If you're used to locomotives, you'll be amazed by the weight and solidity of a Tiger
Good to see you've already chosen a vehicle to model - it certainly makes it easier when deciding on detailing etc.
Adrian.

Hi Ken!
I used to be deep into model railroading too, but 1/87. Those models "weigh rather light" (in more than one sense!) in this company. Quite appealing!
Have you seen von Abt's dioramas?
http://www.vonabt.co.uk/dios/class52/index.html That's quite some garden railroad! Gosh!
Cheers,
/Chris

Chris:
I did see von Abt’s dioramas, fantastic craftsmanship, but not something you can take to the local train meet. I model in 1:20.3 scale, small enough to take to a meet, large enough to see all the detail. As for the tank, that’s why I have a pick-up truck.
Have been tracking my packages, there in Philadelphia. Maybe I see them tomorrow, will post the chassis number.

Packages arrived today; big box was split open but nothing missing. I did the inventory of all four boxes; I was amazed by the amount of parts. Looks like it going to be a fun build.
Have chassis Nr. 045
