This could/would be a nice start for construction of a rail gun for those building a troop / war train.  Have seen then in smaller scales, but never in O gauge.  Yes, I know Kusan and some others have made "toy" style rail guns.  But to build one more scale/highrail and detailed..............    Sounds like another project... along with all the rest !
