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.

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.

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.

A very good job indeed!

catavar27 May 2020 10:10 a.m. PST

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.
