Don't worry Barry, I don't understand the fisics either!

It's a great model, and no mistake, and I know no one was questioning the accuracy. We were genuinely intrigued as to just what that 'lump' was, and it's function.

Thanks Ron and all guys I know know no one was knocking the model and I enjoyed the discussion.

I certainly wasn't criticising your build Barry, or its accuracy. I was merely curious about that thingumajig. While I'm still not totally clear about how it works, I know it's some sort of counterbalance and I'm not curious enough to dig any further! :smiling:

Keep up the good work!

Hi Barry,

While all the scientists are at the Counter Weight Convention, I just want to say that this is truly a phenomenal piece of scratchery Sir!!! I don't know how you do it or find the RR parts, but in 1/72 scale, it is amazing.

I would imagine that this in 1/35 scale could take up half of the living room. About how long is this piece of arty and where do you get the cool figs??? TIA.

Thanks Allen, the model is 20 inches long and I source wheels from 00 gauge railway wheels , some of the barrels are made by a mate with a lathe. All the rest of the model is scratchbuilt this is my twelfth railgun build and I intend building three more, God willing.
Figs are from milcast models.

About how long is this piece of arty

The real thing was 31.61 m long, so in 1:72 that would be about 44 cm.
