Any chance of a turreted car for the armored train? That would pretty much provide a complete selection.

Oh, and the production casts are being poured right now.

The train will make it's retail debut here at the NW game convention Enfilade in May.  i'll have them up in the web shop the day they come in.

On that day the Train/tender will be available, and the flat car, with sides for the infantry gondola, and artillery flat car.

The track scale is S gauge, but I did make the train wheel wells hollow, and the wheel connectors are not glued in.  So you can sub in any gauge you want and your own wheels if you want to.

High, do you know what model railway gauge track would work with the Company B armoured Train and how does the Company B train match up to the HLBSC version

Thanks

We actually used both trains in a game on Sat for our local con, Enfilade.  I'll have a full Gallery up later this week...but here are a few teaser pics:


The white Russians have captured a precious statue depicting the strength of the Bolshevik Children!  It must be recaptured at all costs.  Out of coal for their train, The White general in his fancy car sends a rider out to his field commanders for help.


The playing field.  The red train is set on an intercept track!


Previously uncommited troops pick a side.  They turn on their former Red allies and the Red train!


Setting up...

the building look like the Hovels one to me. Did you all want to be engine drivers when you were kids?

I thought the Hovel's ones are much smaller
