Pre dates the ‘air-soft’ training.

Can anyone else hear the gunner calling out the shots?

I think the mount shown in the latest photos from Jordan might also be the ones used on the No. 1 Armoured Train, built in the CNR Transcona Shops in late 1942.

Attached photo of the two mounts is from Roger Lucy's book on the train.
