Hi Larry/James,

You hit the nail on the head, Larry ... although the short term goal was to have
this ready for the trainshow, I did select it specifically on the basis of
continuing work on it later.  I intend to build two or three more cars for it,
including a K5 Leopold Railway gun, an ammo car, and maybe a troop carrier.  Eric
Kingsley was kind enough to point out a great railway gun website at
http://www.railwaygun.co.uk/ . Eric Brok has a version of the K5 on his website,
too - in any case, it will indeed be making a showing in a Brikwars game sometime
this spring.

By the way, thanks for the information, James.  I was able to collect a number of
photos online, but most of the text details were in German.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Very nice indeed, actually. Is this pre or postwar?
If prewar I can see it figuring in some Brikwars action nicely.

52 is the Kriegslok, the war built engines.  50 was the pre war 2-10-0's, made
with more sophsticated metals.  Incidentally, a class 52 is the 2nd most
advanced loco running around right now, as modified by Sulzer/SLM/DLM.  The
first is DoG of course :)

They are a really good engine for a design that like the Austerity, WD
2-10-0's, and S160's were designed to last something like 5 years.
