Inspired by others who have bult their own I had a bit of fun over the weekend and a slightly dodgy Russian Civil War Armoured train is complete. In my defence I have never been much of a modeller. Write up and photos on the blog. link

I love that toy train I used it to build armoured trains for my RCW and VBCW projects back in the day. Yours looks great. |

Good job! You've gotten much. much further than I have with my 15mm armored train based on old "Thomas" train pieces. Jim |

Our group was playing the RCW when Disney released Anatasia and burger king had a tie in with a toy train that we all converted. Cheap and fun. |

That's something else. I would have never thought of doing that conversion. Well done. |

Thanks very much all, I may even attempt a Bolshevik one to compliment this at soem point. Possibly give the Sopwith a go next. |

That is really cool. I have an old train set from when i was a kid i gave to my daughters. They enjoy it, so i cant cut it up, but i was thinking about making some armored sections, probably mostly out of cardstock or cardboard, that i could slip over the cars. |

It's no good, I've got to go with the meme… "In Europe, you catch the train. In Russia, the train catches you! Mwahahahahahahahaha!" |

Machno1918, interesting idea would like to see that. I have ordered some 2mm rhinestones to use as rivets from an idea I saw on Lead Adventure so might do an update when these are glues on. |

Hi All, after some advice from Trev on the LAF forum I have added rivets to the train using nail art rhinestones, worked really well. Update the blog post with a couple of pics. but one here to illustrate.
