Working with wimve's model, and having access to feldbahn rolling stock, it seems that the siding holds two cars:

indeed Wimve, those 3D drawnings are very time consuming. Mostly everyone may use mine (not as detailled as yourse because my low grade laptop cant handle larger details). But sometimes you get overwhelmed by what some people dare to ask... for a fortress-group of antwerp i was contacted with the proposal that i can use there archives (which i also have) and in return i draw the fortresses in 3D exclusively for them...

euh i passed that offer... i'm not someones muppet.

With texturing and interior details for the main room left for now, I moved on to the turret. I have no hope of interior details for the turret, so I took the easy route and found a 3d model of an Admiral Hipper class heavy cruiser that the turrets were from, and separated a turret to put on the bunker. The rivets look pretty prominent on the photo posted, so I might add them to the mesh. Which brings up the next question - how was the turret painted? I can certainly modify what came with the cruiser's turret into whatever is needed, but I don't know what that is. These are the textures that came with the 3d model:

Gray with a black-gray top I'm pretty certain is wrong, but I don't know what it should be instead.
