GE Tortoise Armored Locomotive

Need to move some nukes, tanks, or refugees in or out of a warzone? Well don't ask the Russians for one of their Soviet, steam powered sardine cans. Take a look at GE's new diesel hungry, house shaking, battleship on tracks.The tortoise is a conversion kit that replaces the cabin and the walkways and applies a massive armored jacket, turbo powered armored ventilation system, optional armored pilot, armored crew optional cabin with satellite uplinks, Infrared spot lights, lunge mine attachment, high frequency radar, countermeasure tubes, and 2 remote thermal/nv 50cal ap/40mm airburst weapon stations with the front one being reloadable from inside the cabin. The kit is meant to be a very affordable alternative to the custom made armored locomotives Russia has deployed in Syria. I imagine that the Tortoise's most common usage would be to move oil out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria to safety in Saudi Arabia. Armored trains would only be used as defensive instruments in big power warfare as the railroads would be obliterated before the trains, in insurgencies these trains would be most successful as it would be very difficult to damage the train itself without a massive cannon or a massive landmine underneath the track. I modeled a winter, desert, and general purpose version. The tortoise project started when i found a a unfinished GE train model by Electric 96, I added a interior to the main cabin then put on the Tortoise conversion kit on top of their model.
