Sherman M4A3E2 Engine Sound Modification

Improved my 1/35 Scale Tamiya M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo with a 20 second
sound record from a original Sherman Radial Engine. At moment the Sound is
activated with a Light sensor and in future it should work with a reed contact
and a movable part (stowage part). The next parts coming soon.

Update Module Impressions

Module impressions

My Module is almost finished with the Nature part, for the wild grass is used HEKI products and some decovlies from different brands. Technical 100% functionel and finished, the next step is to bring some life into the scenery with figures and additonal parts. The legs will be also a step to make a stand for the module, I try to connect on the right side a fiddle yard at first what can be switched to another module. Through the grass  the white glue is visible after dry out everthing looks normal.

Turntable test phase with locomotive

Turntable in H0 1:87

Finished the rack around the turntable, I use Peco Code 75 tracks and the height is with a cork bed 3,1 mm exactly, only some small spacers of 1mm are missing to support the tracks. The gaps are filled with putty and sanded. In the middle of the tracks I create some metal plates from brass.
