Help identify the maker/origin of this military cannon train car. | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

HillTopOGR Forum Member

The title really says it all, but I would appreciate some help in identifying the maker/origin of this military cannon train car. It is O scale size, and all metal. I am also positive of its age being over 40 years old (could very well be older).

Any information would be wonderful!

But please see photos for reference, and thank you in advance.

It is a german Gunthermann railway gun fom the thirties, very nice collector piece when in original condition. It has a mechanism which raised the gun barrel and fire it before returning to his original position.

You will find some informations abouy it here,
