bazer Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hi guys finished 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. Decided to have the dio a bit different and as i found a photo of the gun as taken by a crewman i altered a figure to do be the photographer and scratched a camera. 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Excellent build as always. Can I make a suggestion? A couple of things that would improve the appearance would be some items from the model railway suppliers. Scale wheels with smaller flanges and screw couplings. They're not expensive.
