With my collections, I think it will be mainly 1930s scenarios, for example, the 2nd Sino-Japanese War. I guess there is no reason for it not taking part in the Dominion Campaign either 1880-1910 period. <br />MichaelMGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063536309395034188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148968058837140530.post-26441016397404367982022-05-06T16:22:53.317+01:002022-05-06T16:22:53.317+01:00I think your train would work well for the first h...I think your train would work well for the first half of the 20th CenturyMaudlin Jack Tarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812453753286494021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148968058837140530.post-581629614176110042022-05-05T21:03:00.756+01:002022-05-05T21:03:00.756+01:00Hi Paul, thats exciting news to hear about your Bo...Hi Paul, thats exciting news to hear about your Boer War-Railway junction game. I do hope you forward some photos for my wargaming files. And keep us posted, in good time, on where and when, if possible. Concerning the armoured train, I'm thinking it will probably be used by my Japanese and Soviet armies, the civilian train will have a much greater range of scenarios., although I quite like the idea of some kind of ACW gun wagon in front. I have already compiled an interesting scenario involving my Dutch WW2, and the civilian train plays a very important part in that game. Yes, the Rocky Mountain Rangers (Canadian cowboys) is an interesting unit, and part of their duties was to stop 'rough' types crossing the border and causing depredation. <br />MichaelMGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063536309395034188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148968058837140530.post-90224144132257163042022-05-05T20:14:39.252+01:002022-05-05T20:14:39.252+01:00(Sorry previous comment was just plain garbled - d...(Sorry previous comment was just plain garbled - deleted while I strive for some accuracy !)<br /><br />Just amazing work Michael - loved the info about the RMR's today as well. Can't wait to see how that amazing armoured train might appear in your games (you've been teasing us with the tracks for days, after all). I've almost finished the scenery (mainly sandbags and barbed wire entanglements) To go with a blockhouse and searchlight emplacement for a Boer War attack/defend the railway junction skirmish game that I plan to put on as a participation game at a couple of local game shows - Have t admit that I was flagging with it and your industry has just totally inspired me :) Bravo and splice the mianbrace !Paul Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08001932428313403315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148968058837140530.post-14299322492557523632022-05-05T13:50:12.416+01:002022-05-05T13:50:12.416+01:00Cheers MJT, I was so lucky when Paul sent them my ...Cheers MJT, I was so lucky when Paul sent them my way, and to then discover that the plastic was totally compatible with the polystyrene glue, used with plasticard! Some plastics are really tricky to work with, particularly the flexible stuff, often used with food packaging. I'm thinking of something WW2, so as to use the train in a table game.<br />MichaelMGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063536309395034188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148968058837140530.post-66865978642591829152022-05-05T13:33:46.249+01:002022-05-05T13:33:46.249+01:00Wonderful Armoured Train MGB!Wonderful Armoured Train MGB!Maudlin Jack Tarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812453753286494021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148968058837140530.post-57776070941009185272022-05-05T13:09:59.707+01:002022-05-05T13:09:59.707+01:00Thank you Brad.

The ship's colours are taken from a c.1900 toy, it had to be reproduced!<br />MichaelMGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063536309395034188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148968058837140530.post-85360876337731485612022-05-05T11:37:32.712+01:002022-05-05T11:37:32.712+01:00Your merchant ship is beautiful Michael, the paint...Your merchant ship is beautiful Michael, the paint scheme is just right! Interesting information about the "Rangers," quite a handsome reward for their services! And last, but not least by any means, your armoured train is magnificent! And the fact that it runs reliably will really add a wonderful element to your future games! Very well done indeed!Brad DeSantishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045944738306114598noreply@blogger.com
