Intended for 3d print.

British armoured road and off-road train, used (sparingly) during the Second Boer War 1899-1902.

What this kit includes

This kit includes a locomotive, four wagons and a Maxim machine gun. Note that there are several different versions of these parts included, detailed below.

• Locomotive, 28mm version. The locomotive and rear wheels are printed separately, and then assembled post-print. There is a locomotive version with fixed front wheels, and a locomotive versions with the front wheels printed separately. The version with fixed front wheels have steering chains attached, while the one with front wheels printed separately does not have steering chains but can turn the wheels left and right.

• Armoured wagon with armoured roof, 28mm version. The wagon has coupling which can attach to either the locomotive or other wagons, to form a train.

• Armoured wagon without armoured roof, 28mm version. Like above, but without roof.

• Armoured wagon without armoured roof and with open back doors, 28mm version. Like above, but also with its back doors opened. Troops and guns can be placed inside.

• Armoured wagon without roof or side plates, 28mm version. A more traditional "open" wagon which can carry troops, guns, or even goods.

• Locomotive, 6mm version. A reinforced version of the locomotive, for printing at smaller scales. The model prints as one piece, with no post-print assembly required.

• Armoured wagons, 6mm versions. Reinforced versions of all 4 wagons, for printing at smaller scales.

• Maxim Gun. The Maxim gun was originally released as an entirely separate kit, and includes many variants. There is a version on a wheeled mount, a version on a tripod, a version without mount et cetera. The Maxim guns can be used with their mounts/tripods, or attached to the locomotive and wagons as gun emplacements. See image gallery for a couple of examples. Note that I generally don't recommend that the Maxim guns be printed at sub-28mm scale.
