Thumb Dog - Thank you! That's splendid. Very clean as well. But still, something for me to touch up as well before making.

I see from the script that it is marked as a South African Armoured Train.

-------------------------

I think these are fairly rare - one of my great interests are armored trains and rail vehicles, and while there are paper models for armored vehicles (I have stacks), the cut-outs are quick and easy - and of course have a certain charm, which more then makes up for their lack of accuracy.

This particular model though is very accurate in terms of the "coaches", but I am less convinced regarding the loco, where the cab areas look a little odd! Here are some photos and lithographs from newspapers of the time that show actually how good it is.....
