Piney Mt. Inn, Fayetteville, Pa

Transiently wondering a wee tad South........but an interesting card nonetheless....

That would make an interesting model.
Look at just the wheels on it.

Indeed, and I thought some here might be inspired.

Those caught my eye as well - those spoked wheels are very neat!

Hmmm.
Big Bertha was a German railway gun; not this. This pure-dee-old Uhmurican!
The US built 5 (by Baldwin) in the latter months of WW1:

No kits that I know of. Perhaps somewhere drawings might be found. The wheels look like a 3D-printing project.
Not my particular cup of tea, plus I doubt that one would run on 36" radius curves

... I doubt that one would run on 36" radius curves

Don't 3-railers just blind lots of drivers and remove flanges to get around those tight curves?

Difficult to aim and the recoil................... Set up the gun on the Channel, pull the trigger, shell in London, gun in Paris.

True, but the overhang on curves is a killer.

When did that stop anyone?

Another building that would be great on a layout.
Interesting floor levels and probably a basement.
Is that a smokestack on the rear building?
Maybe it's a powerhouse.

Yup, Yup, Yup, and maybe....

Like the nice hand lettering work!

RY (Rich Yoder) models imported a similar item a few years back. It was mounted on F22 flat cars.

Thought that was just a barrel being transported? This is an actual firing 14" rail mounted cannon.

Correct! That's why I described it as similar.
