I really like the "double-decker" patient arrangement on the ambulance M - did it come like that - or is it by modification? jb

Many thanks jb :salute:: I modified the ambulance by adding three small pieces of balsa wood to act as supports, they can be removed if only one stretcher is carried

The pleasure was all ours in looking at it. Who made the train? Hicks Atwell? It's really super, regardless.

February 1900 - Sailors from the Naval Brigade man the firing slits in the armoured carriage as the train moves out








Rifles would not have bayonets attached when firing through the slits therefore Mike at Little Legion remodeled his existing NB firing figures giving them new arms with rifles without bayonets.
