I suspect that you might really be interested in the "Anzio" or the "Karl" rail gun. I dont know of any offered in HO, however I am preparing a parts list to build a military railgun based on the "Anzio Annie" now on display at the Aberdeen Ordinance Museum in Aberdeen, Maryland The Germans used Armoured Trains to transport thier generals and commands. They simply used Boxcars to haul troops with "Low Side" gondolas equipped with a Flack gun on each end with rifle men in between. The Steam engines used had extensive armour. Almost as much as one could put on. However it was a favorite target of US and Briti***atical Airforces using Hurricanes, Typhoons etc. There is almost a primitive instinct to peel off and dive down onto a running steam troop train to blow the engine up. It was very overriding. One may look back into history and learn that Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was the first to use such trains in wartime. I hope this helps. Lee
