The shell track that you swapped round will block any elevation of the gun if it runs right up to the breech, so I think the original position was correct. Newsreel footage and photos appear to bear this out.

Interesting history. This gun, was built buy EOC (Armstrong) as one of a pair for the Japanese Battleship Yamashiro, but they were rejected in favour of similar guns from Vickers. Due to being designed to fit inside a battleship turret, whilst the breech on Boche Buster opened to the right, the gun on Scene Shifter opened to the left which was a rarity for British Artillery. And yes, the carriage that the gun was placed on, was reused in WWII for an 18 inch artillery piece left over from the cancelled N3 battleships, also carried the name Boche Buster.

Some really impressive models! I saw the Dean Goods not too long ago, and it amazed me how good the model's cab is, it felt like being at Swindon again! The livery and the howitzer's camouflage is very well applied and I could see these fitting in well on a WWI railhead layout. Edit: I believe the ammunition sled was actually mounted the right way around; The sled stops short of the gun breach so the cranes can be used to feed in the shells at different heights - Otherwise the gun would need to be perfectly aligned every time it fired and it might damage the tray with the weapon's hydraulic recoiling. Still, though, excellent review, and I applaud doing loading gauge tests like that on rolling stock!

@@SamsTrains Oh yes - The preserved one has a little platform between loco and tender, so you can get a look at the footplate without having to clamber up the steps yourself, strangely, the driver's side of the roof had steam heating pipes. Weird considering how open the rest of the cab was, especially if you went tender first. And like a lot of 19th century GWR locos, the folding seat for the driver is out from underneath the little bit of roof and you can't reach the controls from there. Victorian engine designers made some interesting ergonomic choices, didn't they? And I wonder if the ammunition sled being detachable is a possible plug for a 'Munitions Wagon Train Pack' sometime in the future :P

17.45 I believe the metal frames, as well as the 'handrails' along the top, were to support camouflage netting. 17.55 The big handwheel was, as you say, part of the fine aiming mechanism -- the gun could be adjusted two degrees left/right by using that handwheel to slew the top carriage across the muzzle-end span bolster. It would of course have to be re-centred for proper balance before the gun was attached to a train for movement, given that the barrel alone weighed 86 tonnes. And yes, it was a gun, not a howitzer. In a naval mount -- with full power-assisted loading and pointing -- it could fire 2 rounds a minute, but with manual loading and aiming that would be more like 1 round every two or more minutes. But it could upset people calmly eating lunch more than 20 miles away, which is a pretty mean thing to do. Excellent review of a fascinating model, as usual.

Thinking about it, I think the reason they manage to make their models so cheap is their priorities. They don't remove the seams, they put the metal where it's the most useful but need the least detail, so the castings can be cheap, they add all the extra details that they can do cheaply, and they commit to decent quality mechanisms. I bet sanding off those seams before painting would be several man hours by a minimum wage intern, which would hike up the prices, so they decide to just leave it and make up for it by adding other features. What do you think? Does this seem like a decent explanation as to why they can afford to sell them cheap?

I bought one of these a few years ago in anticipation of finally setting up a new layout and in the last few weeks have finally gotten around to it - and oh dear! The initial layout is just a 6x4 on a hardwood table with cork track bed. I set the loco to run in and it was fine - quiet and pretty quick. A good smooth runner- until I hooked up the rail gun. It performed another couple of circuits and then stopped dead. Investigation time - the engine is humming and vibrating but to all intents and purposes as dead as a dodo. As it’s out of warranty I decided to be a bit less than gentle and got it running again, back to the same standard as before. However, it has derailed a couple of time and, each time it does, the loco jams up again. The only conclusion I can have is that there’s something a bit off on the tolerances of the gears that causes a jam if the loco gets into a situation it doesn’t like. So I’m really not that impressed, even with this ‘new and improved’ Dean Goods.

Railway guns are very interesting part of railway history and war history as well. Germany was very fond of railway artillery. During WWII they had the Krupp K5 railway gun which was one of the most effective of railway guns not too dissimilar to this one. The guns were huge and the Germans would often build special tunnel bunkers that were hidden to push the gun, an engine and some ammo trucks in. The allies had difficulty finding them because the gun and crew would pop out of the bunkers, shoot about 8 shells, and then quickly scoot back in out of the view of allied air and recon. They also would put out dummy guns in the nearby rail yards for display and simulate muzzle flash in order to trick and decoy allied fighters and recon. There's actually allied footage of an attack on a decoy gun. Just an incredible set you have there, and yeah. Do get a dedicated siding for it. You can use it as a museum piece as there is one of the K5 guns here in the U.S. on display.

From the tiny bit of research I decided to do and the very slight bit of Naval knowledge I have, The BL 14 inch (356mm) naval gun was a decently popular (I think) naval gun for some Dreadnoughts. (New York class and New Mexico class are the only dreadnoughts I know with them.) They were also used post WW1 on the King George the V class in a 2x4 and 2x2 configuration. The 14inch guns were the BL 14 inch Mk VII. The 13.5 (Other gun from the same website) were also pretty common. They were mounted on the Orion class and Iron Duke class of Dreadnoughts. That's about all I know. There are some surviving examples of the BL 14 inch guns (Not the railway guns) today. For me, most notably is the 14 inch guns mounted on the USS Texas.

Just a quick note Sam, the ammunition rail on top of the railway gun was the right way round originally. The crane would be used to hoist the shells from the ammo wagons onto the small truck and the other crane would hoist the shell into the gun breech. If the small truck fed the shells into the gun directly, the gun would be unable to elevate. Other than that it's all good.

Hi Sam I went on the 621 Duke of Edinburgh yesterday. I was at my grandparents house because they live near the station and we heard a horn. They said they heard a whistle before I came. Then we left and as we arrived at the station we heard the diesel horn again. We went onto a good viewing and saw the SAR 500 class diesel roll into the station (it shunts for the steam engine) We waited at the station and soon saw and heard the 621 storm round the corner. It coupled and I got on the first coach closest to the steam engine. It departed and after a lovely coastal track ride we arrived at Victor Harbour. The engine uncoupled and it reversed back to the turntable. I got to the turntable as quickly as possible to see it go down the track, go on the switch and turn around. I got some photos of it on the turntable. I then went back to the station and got on the train, and we had chips as the train departed. We got back to the station (Goolwa) and I greeted the driver. It was a lovely (very cold) day and I can't wait for the next ride I have on it! Great video by you, the rail gun looks amazing!

Hi Sam, Just watched your video and according to Oxford rail the footplates although a tight fit are actually removable. When I went to purchase this gun I noticed part of the description on the UK retailers website read 'removable footplates', so I emailed Oxford and they comfirmed it and explained the footplates are designed for removal when running the gun and fitted when displayed static.

On the rail where you thought they stored the ammo, it isn’t used to put the shells in. It is in fact used to take them out. As a bullet leaves a gun, there is a cartridge thing that gets left behind and that will have to be taken out.

hiya Sam, great reveiw as always and I am ordering one of these as we speak as a result of this review, from Oxford Rail. The sled was, in fact, reversible on the original gun and this was to allow for ammo to be loaded on AND off the gun as there were concerns about the ammo exploding while the train was in motion. secondly the seam you mention on the barrell, is, in fact, an accurate feature. This occurred because the two sides of the barrel were cast separately and then welded together after the casting and skimming. I hope this helps. Please excuse my absence of recent times ....I have got married!!!!

I do like that. Many years ago I built a 1/72 scale kit of the K5 Leopold railway gun and I converted it to run on 00 track. Then 20 years ago I built a Marklin gauge 1 set in my garden. Remembering the gun from years ago, I built one from scratch using plywood for the body and a snooker cue for the barrel, mounted on adapted Marklin flatbeds, all finished and sprayed up in German western front camouflage. Bought some Britain's Germans as crew and we were away. My young son and I had had many a happy hour playing with that beast. It presently sits in a display case waiting for someone to play with it. Any offers, 040 Luzie tank Locomotive included? Breech not door old chap, and they are ammunition hoists (or crane or union purchase)! Nice review and a lovely model. By the way, what I did with my railway gun (rail gun is something quite different ) is make a tunnel and kept it in there, guarded by some WW1 soldiers, ready to pop out and fire. It appeared from nowhere and disappeared as quickly, very impressive.

I believe I'm right in saying that "Boch buster" "lived" on the Elham Valley railway line, down towards the south of England (can't remember the exact location of this line 'though), but I do know that it was intended for coastal defence (in case we were invaded). It wouldn't reach France, it's range was 19 miles, but apparently it was only fired (for practice) 5 times, as the blast broke windows in the nearby villages up to a mile away. The line was double track, but the military took over one track to house the gun, which was kept inside a tunnel when not in use, to hide/protect it from the enemy. And you're right about the curved track: these "super heavy" guns, as they were known, were so powerful that the traverse on the barrel had to be restricted to 2 degrees either side of centre, to prevent the recoil from knocking the gun carriage sideways off the track. In order to aim this type of gun, they were placed on a specially laid, steadily curved spur of track, and always had a loco in attendance. To aim, the whole gun carriage was shunted along the curve until the barrel was pointing in the right direction (using compas bearings & map). Then the 2° traverse either way was used for fine tuning the aim.
@martinsims1273
@martinsims1273 2 жыл бұрын
P.s: if you wanted to accurately house this gun on your layout, either build a tunnel to hide it in (bit of a shame to do that though, hiding it where nobody will see it), or build a steadily curved firing spur for it. I believe the real world ones were about 1/4 mile long, but like most other things on a model layout, that would highly likely have to be a compromise because of available space. :-)

Are there any additional wagons available for ammunition or other equipment not to talk of the operating crew? I'm pretty shure that this had been needed in reality. Germany developed rail-based artillery even in the second world war. They designed special diesel-electric locomotives which provided electricity to operate the canon. The locos had been in service after the war, too.

Another great video Sam, jus a random story about the rail guns. Theres an abandoned tunnel near where I live In Kent where one of these cannons was stored during and after the war. It was briefly shunted out to fire towards the coast and France (the range was great). But they never used any breaking power at all, due to the blow back of the gun it would burn out and break that tried to stop it. So instead the crews and rail workers had to run after it and stop it bare handed, theres som footage of it somewhere. All the best- oskar

The American rail guns were organized into a single cannon per unit. And were organized and controlled by the US Navy! I kid you not. Each barrel was one unit, I believe. And when transporting it was accompanied by1 box car for powder. 1 boxcar for ammunition.. Crew cars. And a end of train car, a caboose, in the US. And to top it off each unit was organized and run as if it was an actual ship.

The tight radius points were negotiated because of the asymetric bogie set up. In use, the gun only has traverse by being moved on the track. German guns had special turntables they were mounted on - sometimes rail guns had sidings constructed to fire from or were hidden in tunnels. Whatever, they were built to be able to take fairly sharp bends easily. An expensive and vital weapon that derails easily is a liability. These guns saw more life in the last war - new guns - ex Royal Navy warship, I believe - there was no ammunition for the old guns - were fitted to the old carriages, and used on the south coast.
