Great scene and photo Martyn. I bet they were really irritated when they found one wounded Boer had held them off. Tommy

Many thanks Tommy:salute::

This was one of the first British victories but it was not followed up and things started to go down hill from here :rolleyes2: Interestingly there was a detachment of German volunteers fighting with the Boers and they were almost wiped out to a man

Thanks Terry for posting them, and thanks Martyn for the kind comment.:smile2:

If you look on the Heco Tinplate Models thread, there are some photos of the Heco Tinplate Models version of the same Steam Traction Engine on the same diorama. Maybe I should do a side by side comparison photo.:wink2:
