Named after the battle in which Vinland won its independence, this class of gunboats was designed and built to provide light fire support in the "new navy" of the 1880's. Part of the "Revolutionary Flotilla," she was built and equipped much like the larger cruisers of the time, with a full sailing rig and six 6in guns, as well as a number of much smaller guns and autocannons. As powerful as she is for a gunboat of her time, the Joerckburg and her sisters are also known for their tendency for things to go wrong. The ships spend a lot of downtime in ports repairing mechanical issues, particularly having to do with the engines, which always seem to be on the fritz. One of these days, something is gonna happen, and it's not gonna be good.
PERKS & QUIRKS:
Guns: 6in (+2)
Speed: 16kn (+2)
Range: Full Sailing Rig (-1)
Mechanically Simple: +1
Unreliable: -1
Low Freeboard: -1

British Rail Class 374 25kV AC 1.5/3kV DC dual voltage 16 car Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) 374008 (physically numbered as 4008) as operated by Eurostar by the buffers at St. Pancras International Station in London (UK).
The Class 374 Eurostar units are built by Siemens AG, are part of the Velaro high speed train family and are also known as the Eurostar e320.
These Class 374 units were introduced into service from November 2015 and run alongside (for now) the much older Class 373's along the HS1 (High Speed 1) line with 'Eurostar' services towards and through the Channel tunnel into Europe.

Note the ungainly air conditioning units on top of the train and the far more agreeable Victorian architecture that dates back to 1868. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Pancras_railway_station

Given that the M420 has became the most common unit on my roster a little variety was necessary. With this in mind 3538 was taken out of service and modified to replicate one of the earlier units from the MR20a class. The last few members of this class share the same style of handrails that were used on later models so that eliminated one job. I did have to fabricate a new longer fuel tank though as well as changing the access door on the engineers side of the cab. On the earlier units this was one large door instead of the two piece style of later units.
