Got a treat while at Bovvy yesterday...excuse the dodgy camerawork, sitting in front of 60tons of moving tiger looked far too dangerous..so got my lad to do it.. :haha:

I love the fact that they actually take it out every once in a while just to drive around, that's great!

How gratifying to see that after 73 years the smoker still works, :thumbup:
Ian, any chance of my getting a 73 year guarantee for my TARR 2 ? :/
As Jack say's it is nice that it is run regularly, although the problem with old machinery is it deteriorates if it is not used but wears out if it is used :crazy:

I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Wow, that's great low speed control. What kind of radio are you using with that tank? And the figures! Such realistic action!! Talk about smooth servos!! Great work, man, truly great. :haha: :haha: :haha:

Great to see her moving.
I drove my 1/6 Panther in through that very same door for Tankmod in October last year and came in right behind 131.

Very lucky! I was hoping to see the 131 at the end of April but my broken hip needs attention first. When I lived in Weymouth I used to cycle to Bovington, but now it's a three hour drive. Next year!
