Re: Italian railwayguns
Hi Jos
the guns are 120/45 mm.
The train is probably T.A. (Treno Armato) 120/1 or 2 or 3 or 4/S captured at La Spezia after the Italian surrender of September 8th.
The train was compose of (more or less):
1 steam locomotive GR 470 GS
4 gun wagons
1 flatbeds maybe with 20mm AA guns (Breda 35), earlier with 13,2mm AA guns
1 fire control wagon
1 ammo wagon
1 steam locomotive GR 470 GS
Teorically (in 1940) the train was matched with a logistic convoy when operating far from the base:
1 steam locomotive GR 470 GS
1 office wagon
1 kitchen wagon
2 rest wagons
1 baggage wagon
2 additional ammo wagons
1 railway storage wagon
Now I have at hand only info about the train at the beginning of the war, later things became more difficult to trace.
If you need other info about the 120/40 gun, italian railway guns, or the train please ask.

Re: Italian railwayguns

For the information on the Italian railway guns , so this should also be a 120/45 ??
Do you have any information on the railway guns that were used in the Venice area
end 1944 early 1945 the battéries V 678 or 4./632 ( Pointa Sabbioni ) and V 627 or
6./632 ( Casa Bianca ) both equipped with 6 x 10 cm railway guns could be the 102 mm ??

Re: Italian railwayguns
Hi Jos, the info I have only regards italian railway guns up to september '43, but I will ask for more info to a frined of mine and maybe seek in other forums. Do you undestand Italian, so I can addres you to some Italian forums.
The 120/45 wagon is the only italian gun wagon with 1 gun x wagon and structures at both ends.
The 152/40 wagon has 1 gun on a flatbed wagon.
Best Regards
Mario

Re: Italian railwayguns
Interestingly, the Italians did not use cupolas for their 194 mm railway guns unlike the French on the 194 mm TAZ Mle 1870/93 but they still used a rotating platform.

Re: Italian railwayguns
Hello,
I can add that after 1945 Polish Navy used such train consisting of 5x194m ex-fench guns as a mobile sea cost battery.

Re: Italian railwayguns
I have found two other links showing pictures of Italian railway guns:
See bottom page under "LA SECONDA GUERRA MONDIALE" here:
http://www.itisvinci.com/~sarti/storia%201914-1945.htm
There is a picture of a 194 mm gun. I'm not sure about the other one.
and "Treno armato a Siracusa":
http://www.modellismopiu.it/modules/new ... 1&forum=39
The two pictures on this last link illustrate the two railway guns presented by raspagliosi above.
