When it wasn't shooting down planes, it made an awesome antitank (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.trains)

(...) Thanks Lindsay. I do intend to make a shield for the 88mm gun at some point, I just haven't gotten around to it thus far. However, I have already made one of the 4-pylon mounts[1] for it though, so it can be removed from the flatbed and set up (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.trains)

(...) said this before)--do you have any plans to put a shield on that gun? I also wonder if the engine doesn't need a meatier cowcatcher. But man! is that nice.

Hi all, I finally completed my rendition of a German train from WWII. All told, it's over 12.5 feet long (over 3.8 meters - I believe this makes the double entendre in the subject heading perfectly valid :D), and comprises 11 cars: BR52 Steam (...)

Well, with all of the Stories going around, I figured I might give it a go, so here's mine, it's only one chapter long so far, but I will be updating it all the time, each chapter will build on the previous one.
