First attempt at posting pictures on this site so hopes it works. Thought some may not have seen this gun, great RR Museum if you ever get to Krakow Poland.
nice pics, is this WW1 firepower, as in Germany's Big Bertha?

I am not sure, however do believe it looked more recent than WW1. My son is going to install some program on my computer today that will let me post my pictures in a smaller format so after that I will try to put a few more on of the steam engines that were at the Museum. It like most Museums in the Krakow are was very inexpensive to see.Quote:

That Lads, isn't a railway gun but an armoured train! Great photos.
I stand corrected.Quote:

The Germans had armoured trains all over in WW2.
cheers, Jim
That is a really really cool pic. Thank you for showing me that.
Great Panzerzug!:thup:
