Hi guys my latest scratch built railgun that completes my collection of German railguns of w w 1 and 2 ,I did not think I would be able to build this gun for lack of info and photos but after trawling the internet i found a great side view that was taken by one of the crew that gave me all the info i needed
.This was the first railway gun Germany built in late 1916 it was designed to fire from its bogies on a curved track
The barrel was made with various tubes all tapered the wheels were 00 gauge altered to fit 1 72 scale track the only other item not scratched were handrails they came from a Leopold kit
