Thanks again.

I was only going on the Hasegawa 1/72 version which shows the crane lifting a shell out of that unit, I don't know from personal research. My apologies if I've led you astray John. There's definitely an engine of some description in there, and as the thing was towed by locomotives, I suspect you're correct about it being the power source for the elevating rams.

No problem Gern, it's no biggy hope to get started soon.

Hi John.
Great to have you back and posting again.

I couldn't resist posting the picture below. I took it when I visited Normandy some 4 years ago. Just look what they used as the gun barrel support then!

Great kit John, at 1/35 scale it should be quite the monster once built.

Okies then made a start with this one, first I thought I would start with the auxiliary engine, quick & simple to build, photo-etch sorted on the exhaust pip's.
Lot of detail's yet to put in & wont start the weathering till it's all built.
