Miniature Armoured Train Fought Hitler's Luftwaffe!

During the height of the 1940 German invasion scare, Britain mobilised everything for its defence, including a one-third scale steam locomotive and carriages that were cleverly converted into a miniature armoured train armed with machine guns and anti-tank rifles. It has to be seen to be believed. Even more incredibly, this tiny train fought against Luftwaffe aircraft...and won!
