IrishGunner Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 You into trains now? You need the Immobile Landwehr Eisenbahn Baukompagnie bayonet I recently found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishGunner Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I always thought Eisenbahn would be a great collecting theme considering the importance of trains to the war, including train schedules related to mobilization being cited as contributing to the causes of the war. My grandfather, father, and some uncles worked on the railroad; if I weren't into artillery, that might be my focus. I often have to remind myself to "not buy" Eisenbahn related stuff, but I'm always interested when I see it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 IG, There were railway guns,so you could merge your two interests. You could collect straps from the foot artillery gunners that manned these. Unfortunately, they rarely turn up. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 The Eisenbahn troops are vastly underated... and lets not forget who took over after Hindenburg!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Chip, I would definitely include those in the artillery collection! Unfortunately, in my corner of the universe any strap rarely turns up... I will have to wait for you to get bored with your vast collection.

ccj Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 A very nice photo. I have interest in the Eisenbahn branch but rarely see good photos. Ice always thought it interesting topic for WW1 and WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
