Improvised Armed Train

I've been working on this armed train today.  

It's not really armoured apart from some wood and sandbags but can represent the sort of improvised military trains as were used by both sides in the Russian civil war.  

It has an MG car at the front to provide protection.  I might add a field gun in a flatbed truck later.

Then there is a passenger carriage and freight truck for troop and supply transport at the back.  Maybe the Freight truck could be used instead to carry a few cavalry.

The MG truck is not based on any particular example but inspired by these examples.  The first is one used by the Czech Legion...

and second by the Estonians fighting for independence.

Here are just a a couple of Work In Progress shots.  The base train is is a Goldlok Western Express I got from eBay a while back.  Most was just repainted

To make the MG Car I used an open topped truck, adding plasticard and greenstuff for the wood and sandbag defences.

 The maxim guns are made  from bits of sprue and plasticard.
