Coincidentally the locomotive has a some resemblance to old Finnish diesel locomotives, at least colorwise.

sanshiki for everyone!

The second shipgirl that is firing is most likely Hiei, since both their hulls seem to have the same Kai Ni C silhouette. post #3876594

If you use mikelan as reference, you'll see, that this is the standard liverey for japanese diesel-locomotives.

I had a feeling it was something like that but that is indeed why I just thought of it just a mere coincidence to look similar to Finnish ones.

I'm unable to identify the exact model of the locomotive. It's definitely a DE because it has five axles. But I cannot find a DE 50. 50s are mostly DDs with four axles. It looks closest to a DE 10.
Using battleships as fixed flak-emplacements is an interesting idea. Kongou looks like manning a M45 quadmount.

This is what they call "land battleship"

She still using her main cannon through.

My first thought was M45 Quad, my second was Flakvierling 38. (The German quad 20mm mount.)

The gunner's position of the Flakvierling was behind the guns, in the M45 he sat between the guns.
