WW1 Replica tank

[littletankman]

We had a local history weekend . There was all sorts of periods covered from medieval upto WW2 . This tank is only a replica . Although it looked good and a lot of work and effort had been put into it , it looks to short to me ? Ive heard that a group in Lincoln are looking into making a full size steel one . Lincoln is the home of Fosters who made these WW1 tanks .







Oh and the engine

cool does it run or is it static

Powered by a v-8, but which one? I wonder if it's gasoline or diesel? The tracks look commercial bulldozer perhaps? Either way it is very cool wish I had one.

Hi Saxondog , Yer probbaly right regarding the tracks but there pretty simular to the Bovington MkV . Has Caterpilla copied them hmmm

Hi Brel, as far as I know it runs . However there is a group in Lincoln that are raising money to build a full size exact replica WW1 tank in steel not ply . Should be good .
