Hi !

The work is continuing ...

The Armored Train :









The Improvised Armored Train (Note that the locomotive will not be armored on the finished model) :








There is still a lot of work needed : adding of some rivets , painting , painting of some officers and gun / mg crews , flags , weathering and ... the rail tracks !

Flags and markings will be movables , i could choose between White , Red , or why not german trains , etc ...

[Byblos]

The train will be green , i think i will make a second armored train from a Soviet model , captured on Finland front and reused by Germans and Finns ...







This armored train will be painted in Grey , i could use it for , by exemples , Germans Freikorps against Soviet or Balts in Baltic States ...

A White Improvised Armored Train :






















The heavy gun come from a British cruiser , i think , and it's a 4.7" (120mm) (It's a Virtual ArmChair General model)

The steam engine come from the toy train , it's slightly modified , and it's a 130 (260 in American system) one , a "Mogul"

The nex step will be the gun's crews and officers ...
