Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Light Railway Armoured Train

My daughters used to like a ride on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Light Railway when they were younger.

While working on my latest wargame project I came across this: Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Light Railway Armoured Train.

And before anyone laughs, they are credited with an He111, Me109 and Do17 during the Battle of Britain....and there's not many light railways with that record.

Home Guard Beaverette in 20 mil

The vehicle models are 1/76 Frontline resin kits of Beaverettes and I have decorated them with various 1/72 polyethylene toy soldiers. They are based on 1940 Standard armoured cars built on a car chassis: yes, they handled worse than an American limo. It was of course an emergency desperate measure as their combat value was questionable - to put it mildly. Named after Lord Beaverbrooke, who ordered them, they were armed with a bren gun.

Suitable for a 'Sealion' 1940 or 1938 game.

Note the Home Guard Tank Rider. :)

The real thing.
