Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
That sounds feasible and the slots are for rifle to be used in defence.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
That's the one Kev. The 'Seige Train' built by Fowler & Co. of Hunslet, Leeds in 1900 for the Boer War.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
That was a good one Wendy. I've only just seen it but wouldn't have known what it was from the original image. I think the `siege train' in your photo might have prompted the author E.V. Thompson to write his `Brother in War' novel in the Retallick Saga. Retallick It was based on WW1 rather than the Boer War but had Cornish steam engines crossing South Africa to deliver gunboats to fight the Germans.

There were also cafes looking a bit like that for bargemen and canal workers.
