Hi All,

And Hi, Kevin WS. I got your PM just as I hit the Submit button for my last post. I looked for the original source of the Pellerin model, but have been unable to find it.

As you've been collecting armored train and vehicle material, you probably know of these, but I'm posting them for readers unfamiliar with the more than hundred-year-old weapons systems.

The photograph shows Hairy Mary, the rope covered locomotive seen in the Second Boer War. Reminiscent of chain mail, the flexible protection may have worked...to a point. The photo comes from:

History! by Zhukov - The Military History Emporium | A British armored train during the Second Boer...

This site contains an interesting collection of photographs from the Boer Wars.



Also, over on Landships II is an armored railcar by Alexander Bondar known as the Hejaz Railway Armored Railcar.

Landships II

Look through the Models section for a wealth of WW I era AFVs.

Score and fold,

Thumb Dog
