Still bitterly disappointed at his grievous wounds at the hands of the local choir Cain has decided he needs to be able to extricate himself from the field even quicker.
Behold the mighty and imaginatively named Cain's Express, the rolling stock was "Gifted" to the lads by the local railway men that have been helping the flow of troops and supplies from Grimsby to South Yorkshire and back as part of the coal route linking the mines to the docks.
Not sure how many games it will get as it is not like you can use it to drive around the battle field, can see it broken down or acting as a strong point or at a push make the board rotate under it and just have a number of ambush points. The plot is starting to thicken in my mind.
Reminder of what it was
Now the beast from the East Coast, those expecting the flowing curves of a RichH project may wish to put down their cuppas now. This iron lady is built like me, curves in all the wrong places and once it has a good head of steam it will take some stopping.
It is a tad on the, will it fit on the table side
First flat bed
Choo Choo bit
Troop wagon with an MMG on each side
Tankers full of the Voddy promised by Stalin, cos the others have been bullked out they are a tad small but I am sure I have seen teeny tiny tankers on the railway as well
Next flat bed with a couple of MMG bays, could be the horse box if I add a couple of ramps when used in the East East in our RCW games
Last troop car again with an MMG on each side, gave up on curvy bits for the carriages they will just have to square off the tunnels a bit more.
Used the vent bits from the top of the old carriage to try to make it look a little less flat on top.
Also a little sting in the tail for when the Mexican Banditos are trying to catch up
No doubt there are prettier trains out there but it certainly does what I need it to, now to slap on some paint.
Think I am going to go grey rather than my normal Soviet green
