Howitzers on Menards flat car

jini5OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

Snapped a few pics outside in the beautiful sunlight. I am getting ready to chain these howitzers down to this Menards flat car. What I really like about the Menards car is the scale proportions, the price, the wood deck, and the low riding stance. What I don't like is that they just don't roll that good. Not good at all. I am hoping some of you military experts will chime in here. Is it more prototypical to chain down 1 or 2 of the howitzers to this 50' flat? Notice from the pics that with 1 on the flat I am able to have the trailering assembly in place. With 2 on the flat, I had to lay the trailering assembly on top of the heavy framing of the howitzer. Both howitzers will not fit on the flat with the trailering assembly in the extended position. Howitzers are 1/48. I want to take a look at MTH's howitzers. Maybe someone here can snap a few close ups of the MTH version of the howitzer.
