Was sketching out something a lot like that with a V-3 Hochdruckpumpe earlier today. A P.1500 Monster base with folding supports on a pair Maus's (Mice??) as a sort of bipod. The whole think would have to have a strongback scafold to support it and a kind of tiller like steering system. Silly but it would be glorious
And yeah I suppose that could work. Only stumbling block (besides moving the thing ) may be recoil. Railway guns use a certain amount of roll out to absorb energy. You'd need a sliding resistor of some sort, but yeah also workable.

MrVic: Dealing with the recoil ended up being simple. Its all in the
hydraulics. By fully extending the cylinder supports and switching
the entire system over to a set of pressure release valves set with
the right psi release threshold and controlled bleed off lines.
That combined with the option to tie each clyinder into a air/gas
reservoir you literally turn them into shock absorbers. It just
takes some plumbing and make sure all the cylinders are switched
over prior to firing. Heck you can even reset the thing on a
section of track and use it if you like also. Tho that option
seemed less epic
