Adrian,

Did they have a guy in a trench coat follow you around? ;-)

Great pics. After last weeks 'bomb scare' I wonder if the 'T' would be 
interested in that train >:-D

>anyone know what type of LMG this is?

Can't find it in the books. My guess might be one of the many forms of the 
KPV, that bigassed late war monster that fired 14.5 x 114 mm rounds! (more 
like an auto-fire AT rifle)

>Also, anyone
>have any idea what size (mm) howitzer that absurdly
>large SP gun is?

Largest I ever read of being self propelled was 152mm. That looks bigger. .
