Sinai Miltary Railway Armoured train

[Beast of Bukhara]

Does anyone have any information about the use of armoured trains during the Second battle Gaza 1917  please
According to the inter web No 1 armoured train operated along the railway   Pictures of this would be very welcome   All I keep getting is Battlefield 1 armoured train

Thanks

Not actually got anything by name .However the armoured train in the first picture is in the right place at the right time,just don't know which side.(although it is very similar in design to the late boer war armoured trains((which it's not because it's sequential in a collection of ww1 photographs not a random Google image. ))
Which would suggest it's British as it would be in both living and service memory.
The Indian army gun crew is from Basra no idea if it's a 'train'part or local expediencey.
There's also a Turkish armoured train ( armoured section is one of the suspects in my musings from previous conversations )
There's. A Turkish police station ,and a Sinai block house etc just for some flavour.

Plus a few more.
I think the map explains why it's so difficult to pin down ,Before the British start to re gauge the network .No doubt Michi or another train guru can clarify ,as its too many wheels for me to have anything more knowledgeable to add

I found this:
Three armoured trains were in use - all hauled by petrol powered Manning Wardle engines. Steam engines used to be built by Stephenson (England), Baldwin (USA) and Franco-Belge.
Palestine Railways after 1920 (in German, but many links): http://enhancedwiki.altervista.org/de.php?title=Palestine_Railways
Four different gauges - your photos obviously show at least standard gauge and 600mm:  (600 mm, 762 mm, 1050 mm, 1435 mm)

Apparently a number of Manning Wardle engines were  used on the railways One with a platform mount for a Vickers MG
