Hasegawa also made the Anzio Annie, which was a long barreled 8" or 12" gun which also could be run on HO Scale track If I remember correctly.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

Here's this one (Model_1) and here's the one that the OP has (Model_2).  Too bad the pics don't get larger, but I'm sure some can be found on the net.

The second one I posted is also cheaper than the one from the Squadron site.  I don't know how these would look as HO models since they're 1/72 and 1/35 scales.  They seem like nice models to have in any event.

In case you want to see where I found them, they are from this site:  http://www.historicrail.com/

Edit:  I overlooked this one (Model_3).  It's the same as the first link I put up but it's 1/72 scale and a lot cheaper than the 1/35 model.

Which wheels fits? I found one of these babes here in Sweden so if I can get hold of the wheels I might try one.

Unless otherwise mentioned it's HO and about the 50's. Magnus

Very cool.  I wonder if the OP got it to run on HO track?
