19thC limbers

Can anyone suggest a suitable limber for Zulu War or Sudan artillery. I cannot see one in the colonial ranges and my RA chaps are tired of pushing their guns. What do other people use?

Have you google imaged a British limber of the period and then compared to the limbers available in the catalogue.


A little goes a long way

Yes but I could not find one in the obvious place. Thank you for nudging me back to Google. After some reseach I found that the British system was adopted by the French and the U.S. copied the French.The German system looks very much the same. So, the equipment for the period seems to be universal and I can use almost any of the late 19C limbers. Thanks again.

I have to thank my son for that - he always says, "Just google it dad. That's where everyone goes these days."

Use ACW limbers and teams.  They don't have riders and work as a generic piece for the mid to late 19thC


I have plans.   I am dangerous when I have plans...
