This was discused over at Missing Lynx a while ago. The concensus was that a Flakverling was far to heavy to be mounted there.

First nice build, On the note of arming a locomtive witha flak gun I'd agree that the Flakverling would be too heavy, but a trip to the library or Google search may help you quest if any type of FLAK guns were mounted on the locomotive itself. Mostly what I have seen is the FLAK units were either a special car like the Artillry wagens with the PZ IV turrt or a standard flatbed rail car with them a gun mounted to that, HTH STUG
