Armstrong RBL 40-pr

RBL 40-pr on garrison four-truck carriages from a photo taken at the Tower of London. They have since been scrapped. The two which bombarded Gate Pa in 1864 would have been mounted on similar carriages except the wheels would have been made of wood. The Navy never used iron wheels because they would have damaged the decks.
