British Narrow Gauge Armoured Train.

During the war the The Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway saw service in a number of ways. A special branch was laid to the site of a number of concrete structures designed to focus the sound of attacking aircraft and allow their early detection. Troops were billeted at the holiday camps and special trains run for them. There was even an armoured train, one of the locomotives (Hercules) was fitted with and coupled to two solidly built and armoured steel bogie wagons built for mineral haulage on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.

A British Narrow Gauge Armoured Train may be added as a Divisional Support Choice to any British or Commonwealth Company representing a force involved in Operation Sealion.
