That's a British Ordnance BL 12-inch MkV railway howitzer (better known as a "railway gun"). These were introduced in July 1917, these were an improvement over the previous MkI and MkIII which the MkV had the recoil buffer and recuperator placed into a single housing below the barrel (the previous two had the recuperator above the barrel) and the type first saw action on the Western Front of WWI, being used by the Royal Garrison Artillery. During WWII after being stored for about 25 years, some were used for the defence of the British Isles until the end of the war in Europe in May 1945, which they were disposed off due to railway artillery becoming impractical. Here are some stats on this gun; Barrel length: 17ft 3in (5.26m) Shell: High Explosive, 750lb (340kg) Elevation: 20°-65° Traverse: 120° Left & Right Muzzle velocity: 1,468ft/s (447m/s) Effective firing range: 14,350 yd (13.21km) Filling weight: 83lb 3oz (37.96kg) Amatol

Restaure-le ! Quand tu l’auras fait, à chaque fois qu’une locomotive est restaurée, tu pourrais tirer un coup pour souligner cet évènement.

Do you reckon it can be fired after being repaired and done up? Will it fire, again?

I think it would be worth it to show the history of it in a museum and have it in there for save keeping or you could use it for a military train gift it to them to use

Theory: it was there to defend the sheds from enemy planes in WW2 and when the war ended was left there with no use and would’ve been used in the Cold War if it went warm

Yes! Even though it isn’t an engine, it’s still okay to restore it. It could be useful again, for another war.

I think I have a clue on how it got here this cannon must have bin used in the blitz in the uk to stop german enemy fire but when they were shunting it into a siding to get in position the driver ended up slamming it into the buffer and it sunk the engine into the pit like the episode of Thomas when Gordon goes into the pond in season 1
