Plan A is for me to make a day long photo run to the US Army Transportation Museum at Ft Eustis on either 25 or 26 Feb.

If you have any specific requests, post 'em here, and I'll do my best.

I'll check on Animal's displays while there.

Looking forward to seeing the photos. They are supposed to have the new layout for the Nam exhibits and the guard tower finished. I would love to see photos of these.

John thanks for the offer. Any pics of WW2 trucks you see would be nice.

It's the 26th -- batteries are charged, mem-chips are cleared, away I go.
'Roo & Animal -- got your requests.
Report soon.

John

I am waiting for the great pics.

thank you John

Well, a bit disappointing. I thought they had lots more there, certainly expected lots more given the theme - I guess no one thinks to save these vehicles until it is too late.

I got lots of a WW1 supply truck -- could do a scratchbuild with some dimensions. Also the 1870's J-118 Supply Wagon -- another softskin.

WW2 stuff was painfully shy -- a few jeeps & two 2-1/2 cargos but they are *very* poorly positioned for any detail work -- likewise the Diamond-T wrecker. No Federal's, no Autocars, no trailers, etc. Good pix of a railroad jeep with ties to Oz.

VN display is up -- got some shots of Aminal's models (if the glass display case doesn't screw things up). The rest of the display is ship models, a gun truck, and some pieces of helicopters.

Outdoor displays have little. The M52 tractor is in sorry shape as is the M127 trailer -- we need a group project to go spruce them up. I got lots of M127A1 (&M129A1 supply van) pics -- remember my M809 series interest.

I also hit the rail flat cars hard -- I have a scratchbuild project in mind there also.

I'll sort thru & do some posts over the next week.

even if a little disappointing John it sounds as though you had a good time. I would be interested in the railway jeep.

cheers
Cliff

First two posts are in appropriately named Albums in my Gallery:

Some (bad) photos of the models, including those done by our own Animal, Dave Willett. Models are great.; lighting was tough & display cases weren't friendly.

And for 'Roo, the Road Railer Jeeps -- please note the Oz tie-in in 1st picture. Now, if one of these will haul 20,000 rail car, could I use a half-dozen or so to pull a captured German Rail Gun ???

very nice thank you John
