Ever heard of the Dora? It was a railway gun built by the Germans in WWII...I'm pretty sure it was the largest cannon ever built.

Just to give you a rough idea of how truly large this thing was, here's the size of the shells it fired:

Anyway. When Cox designed this model, who did they expect to turn that big wheel? The Incredible Hulk?
