Since they're static, you could even run them on steam generated from the stove in the unit's HQ bunker a dozen metres away... In winter you're killing two birds with one stone - keeping the troops warm and powering the turret.

I like the idea of constructing a new turret traverse mechanism. Good thinking!
If they are going to heat the tracks, the Krakow troops are going to have to insulate the turret somehow. Otherwise, in the winter steam and bared metal will ruin the winter camouflage. Still, that can't be an insurmountable problem.
