Three other model examples from; because of the size, Koenigsberg guns!?!

You are absolutely right, the third pictured scene shows the best painted figures of all. Excellent work from
professional model builders. The secret of a greater 3D-depth effect is the darker-colour-stagger in depressions,
and vice versa and to paint the raised areas brighter. In the below scale 1:72 without a magnifier hardly possible.
Here a few very professional examples. When I am back in Germany I try to picture my `Detachment Haßlacher´

Regarding the light plantation railway at Tanga for the transport of the mobile Koenigsberg gun, the German Factory Arthur Koppel
was specialised for these types of rails and light locomotives in German East Africa. But of course I am not sure if for this gun a drive
system exists or if this platform was moved by muscle power. The complete weight of this construction must be at about 3 - 4 tonnes.
Shown are different types of drive system from Arthur Koppel.

Below is a map which show the location of the plantation-rail at Lindi in 1917 and the positions of the Koenigsberg-Gun.

“Two further narrow-gauge lines, both of 600mm gauge, existed in German East Africa. One was the `Lindi Baumwoll-Bahn´
(Cotton line) and the other local line of the of the Ost-Afrikanische Gesellschaft at Tabora, between the goods station and the
market. The Lindi-Line ran from Mingoyo on the upper end of Lindi-Creek to Mtua, a distance of 18km, and was a plantation
line for the benefit of cotton growers in the area. Both lines possessed an 0-4-0T locomotive by the Maschinenbau Gesellschaft
Heilbronn, whilst the Lindi-line also had an 0-8-0T that was supplied by Orenstein & Koppel in 1914 a maker´s number 7788. “

It seems to be that the SIGI-Line used the same locomotives as the Lindi-Plantation-Line.
