Black Knight Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 This was built a very long time ago when we [my family] had a bit of a basic model railway set up It was built on Hornby rolling stock and was built as a runner Not really meant to be very accurate, just a representation Inspired by this war-time photo 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Well, I never knew we had these in the war! Your model is charming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginot Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 That looks like a lot of fun. This doesn't. It is an armoured train that ran on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch miniature railway in Kent from the dark days of October 1940. I don't think these soldiers (of the Somerset Light Infantry apparently) were out just for a bit of fun. Desperate times. The railway is still running if you fancy a visit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrzeM Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 So cool! Some armoured trains in Britain were manned by Polish crews.
