Gelsenkirchen, Germany, 2021.
Here's another shot from an impromptu mini-series of high contrast experiments. I am not quite sure why I photographed this at all. After all, tanks and containers are not particularly attractive subjects. For whatever reason, these ones spoke to me. Well, not literally... You know what I mean. 😉

Enjoy!
With the willow-herb going to seed and some leaves just starting to turn for autumn, DB Cargo Shed 66139 pulls away from Northwich following a reversal stop with what I think is the 10.58am Folly Lane ICI - Arpley Sidings (6F82).
The shot was taken back in 2017 when train intel from the usual sources no longer seems to be available. I opted to snap this early on exiting the loop to catch the sun on the side of the tanks.
Going off to the right is the single track to Sandbach, via Middlewich, and behind me is the other side of the triangle.

They had already filled the tank on the steam locomotive at Roaring Camp Railroad by the time I got there. Oh well, gotta settle for just the water tank.

Stopped at the Mouse's Tank area within the Valley of Fire State Park. Beautiful vistas in every direction.
I tried to find micro LEGO tanks like these but I had no luck. Surely, they have been made like this before. If you know where they have been made before let me know and I'll update this.
Interestingly, some of the epaulettes fit nicely and some are too small. Not sure if the mold was changed at some point but the old ones fit better.
Grapevine Mills indoor shopping mall offers visitors more than typical shopping and dining experiences. This aquatic experience is just one example.
Demersus MKVIII
Quasi-rhomboidal Heavy Tank of Holy Preceannesia
Based on an early tank model from a previous war, Demersus was a large yet respectably maneuverable heavy tank, outfitted with seven machine guns and two sponson-mounted cannons. Despite being notoriously unreliable, the MKVIII was a symbol of power sure to turn the tide in trench warfare.
Crew: 12-13
Armament: 7x 7.915mm machine guns, 2x 57mm cannons
Mass: 34 tons
Length: 36’
Height: 9’8”
Engine: V-12 Motrax 300hp engine
Years produced: 1918-21
Max speed: 6.2 mph
This was a surprisingly quick build; the outer sides are identical and the central section with the superstructure is pretty simple.
This is a photo of rust blisters and streaming rust stains on the side of a metal tank. I love their rather alien and marine quality.
This tank is so similar to the Renault FT which is probably one of my favorite looking tanks due to its size. I think it turned out well. My only issues are that the front sloping is slightly too large, the track section bothers me a little. This is all mine and Greg's design.
Let me know what you think!
