Rumour Control confirms that it is "on track"........

It's on the backburner for now, we'll probably look at it more early next year.  There may be an armoured train supplement for BKC in the works, so we'd want it ready for that...

I'm also looking forward to the release of the armoured train

Take care

This would be ideal for a couple of the 'September War' scenarios from the I Ain't Been Shot Mum supplement.

Any chance of giving this a friendly bump, likewise just bought the IABSM September war scenario booklet and fancy giving the Battle of Mokra scenario a shot, the armoured train is a key factor, plus put on a battle and the first thing joe punter asks is "where is the train"? Seems to be an enduring image up there with the charging lancer cavalry......

Seems to be popular, I didn't see the armoured train thread adjacent. Appreciate the comments on high cost/ low sell factor made by Leon, any chance of something generic that would cover WW1/ RCW and WW2. The British were using armoured trains outside Antwerp in WW1.

I also would like to see the Polish Armored trains.

We may have some movement on this, I've licensed an armoured train in 3D so we just need to get it printed up and investigate the best options for moulding it.

Could you not just keep them as a printed option, given the probable low sales against moulding masters cost?

Potentially, if resin moulding is going to be problematic.  The trouble with the 3D printing is that it's incredibly slow so this train is going to be 5-6 hours in the machine I think.  And then we'd need to work out how to price that to make it viable.
