Hi guys
the armored trains in question are called Wickums they were initially used in Vietnam by the French then the ARVN some were also shipped a few other countries in the region

Probably out of service when I got there. Did see a few steam trains with armored cars as part of their making up the the train, but nothing that could have functioned independently. These look like they have their own locomotion capability, so are probably before my time.

Found this on one of the discussion threads.

Appears to be 1950(?) perhaps...

One of the two negatives appears to be flipped (can't say which is right), but I think you nailed it!

I am pretty sure I have seen one of those, if not that exact one, in Thailand or the Philippines. Can't remember which one.

Perhaps Russian from the 1960's ??

A pure guess.

Now I know why 106mm RR's are hard to find,.....(borrowing from the same site.....TOO COOL!! Cool

Warning: NO 'STRIPES' references, especially the 'EM 50'.

Looks like the economical version of the EM-50.

(Although it does sorta look like an early prototype....)

Might it have been used on rail or trolley tracks for patrolling?

Fairly certain it is an armored train car.
