Re: Thats not a toy, THIS IS A TOY! Super cool! Just out of curiosity, is it flathead powered?
|
Re: Thats not a toy, THIS IS A TOY! How many miles to the belt do you get with that?
|
Re: Thats not a toy, THIS IS A TOY! What caliber is that gun mounted on top? .50? I think the Bren was .303 correct?
|
Re: Thats not a toy, THIS IS A TOY! powered by a 1942 85 Hp flathead , they all were, just like the Canadian CMP trucks , Ma Duce .50 cal correct, later in the war Bren Crews upgrade thier fire power hence either a .50 .30 or a .303 vickers MG, Cheers BM

Re: Thats not a toy, THIS IS A TOY! Those T-16 carriers had a longer box and the extra bogey wheel. Most of them were made in the US for lend lease. I think they had the 95 HP 239 V8 in them.
I think the universals and all the older & newer types were the most produced track vehicle ever. Around 115,000 of all the types & manufactuers were made for the war effort. The Germans captured some universals and mounted a 37 MM gun on some. Boy that would have rocked it! |
Re: Thats not a toy, THIS IS A TOY! Mike, Good to see your still at it. Still rocking the kilt?
|
Re: Thats not a toy, THIS IS A TOY! still rocking the kilt mate lol

Re: Thats not a toy, THIS IS A TOY! What a farce that term "Lend Lease" was. Lend yes, but Lease ment either "paid for or returned". Never happened.

Re: Thats not a toy, THIS IS A TOY! The Half track is also impressive! In the early days of the MV Collectors club here in Conn., we used to have our annual meet at the Bradley Air Museum. They built a building on the west side of the airport and a lot of WW II buildings and bunkers were still there in the 80's. I got to drive a Half Track around the perimeter road around the whole airport. I enjoyed it, but you felt every bump or pebble on the road! The MV days are long gone.

Re: Thats not a toy, THIS IS A TOY! When I was a kid, a local gas company (southwestern Kansas) used surplus White half tracks to go out in the sand hills along the southern flood plain of the Arkansas river there to check their gas wells in those regions. Most of the roads were still dirt back then and they wouldn't beat you to death. They also used them and their Bell 47 helicopters to aid folks in the blizzard of 1957 along with the local National Guard artillery tracks.
Those track vehicles can be the only thing moving in certain situations. |
