I think it's one of the BL14" railway guns, "Boche Buster" or "Scene Shifter".

Thanks Guys

I assume that it was set up as a land based piece as well at one point, or does the shop pictures show it before it was connected to its rail carriage?.

 

All the best

I think the latter. The minimal carriage was probably the proof carriage for the gun.

Regards,

Charlie
