I can highly recommend the Del Prado locomotives. I've bought a couple and they are very nice and can be bought quite cheaply off ebay.

As for making the gun move from flat to firing, how about a couple fo small rare earth magnets to hold it in its firing position. Quite easy to drill and glue in place I would have thought?

Great as an objective for German raiding parties in a small scenario... :-\
You're not planning on doing any French railway guns do you? Cause then I would have to buy one!

Cheers,

This does look very cool - I'm sure I will have to get one. Even though it might be a bit big for GWSH games. But its a rail gun, and I already have a small German WWII one.

The Del Prado locomotives are great for gaming, I already have a couple - but might need a bigger one, and some flat wagons to go with this...

Suitable lDel Prado loco secured off eBay for just over a fiver, most of which was postage. Will decide when it arrives whether to leave it untouched or to modify it.

Oh dear... oh... dear...

Resolve broken, order to follow...

Well, I've been looking for cheap N gauge rail & trains anyway...

mart678

Already have given in and have some N gauge an Armoured train is possible you can make it with moulded wheels or a separate bogie which you can put n gauge wheels in so it would run

NeilCFord

Secured some GWR wagons last night too, and some N gauge corregated sheet to armour up the train. Next up, some replacement GWR decals.

- Neil.

ANyone have a good source of N gauge rail lines? Especially junctions/switches. Looks like those will cost more than the trains! I wanted to create a small rail yard, but the switches are way more expensive than I like for scenery...

Now to find cheap rolling stock to park on the lines...

You are 'on track' - can I recommend the Pendraken Boer war rolling stock - some useful wagons and bits and bobs.

You might find friendly model railwayers who have dead track that can't be cleaned up enough to roll - they're often willing to part with it for next to nowt ;)
I provide a cheap, quick painting service to get you table top quality figures ready to roll - www.facebook.com/jtppainting

I ordered some wagon chassis last night from Hattons. They will form  the basis for my armoured train. The plan is to have the train and tender, assault wagon, artillery wagon and two flat beds that can have some tanks on for mobile deployment. Ahead of this will run my little draisine. Happy days :)

Search 'n guage track'.  Plenty of choice on eBay.
