Thank you kind sir.

Ah, there she is again. God, that looks cold but so very cool! I'm down at the cabin and woke up to about an inch on the ground. Windy as hell too!

I'll never get tired of looking at "Miss Leningrad"! Now we need a video!

Cheers,
Eric.

Jimster, I agree with Silversurfer: "Photo number 2 is fantastic. Could be real." Can you change that photo to black and white? That would clinch it!

How about this?

Beautifully posed pics, Jim!. Pensive too.
Looks like 'Ol' Ugly' has hoisted her skirts up for some serious action.
Seeing it again, and your broad expanse of snow ( or is it the Steppes?), reminded me of an observation made in 'Tigers in the Snow'. It's that tank riders weren't simply exposed to bullet splash and hostile cannon fire, no, they often died of carbon monoxide poisoning, from the invisible gasses coming up through the engine grills.
The Normandy Cowls on the Comet, and Cromwell, gave hitch-hiking Tommies a little more protection.
How bad it was on top of the turret, can only be guessed at.

She definitely is all business! The business of kicking communist ass.
I imagine that German Shepherd has some wicked exhaust as well. Maybe Eric can attest to that.

Here’s a short video. Both of my battery packs were almost dead so this is all I got. This is a good example of utilizing the momentum effect that the Elmod board provides. I was simply feathering the throttle a bit and mostly coasting along. It eliminates the sudden stop and go jerky movements.

Fabulous Jim,

Great video, and the pic in B&W looks awesome. Boje is a bit gaseous, and he's very loud about it! Freya, his Sister, will drive you out of the room with her "silent but violent" emissions! They smell of impending death, she's the stinkiest Shepherd we've ever had. Think of singed eyebrows and bubbling porcelain kind of bad!

That is proper awesome
The sounds, the tank and the way it moves is superb.
I see garden rail track in the background, what trains you running on it?

“There’s that’s crackpot neighbour again, taking his noisy toy in the yard, can’t the man see it’s snowed out there, Larry, we need to move” !!!

Scintillating work Mr Jimster and long May it continue
