>From what I read the real thing moved by train or by itself. It had two sets of tracks. Combat and transport. I think it may of been moved by truck too. I don't see why it was such a pain in the butt back then considering it is lighter than an Abrams. Then again modern trucks are capable of more I guess.
As for tracks I don't think I will be doing anything special really. I was thinking of just roller chain to simplify things. Its a proven concept and it works. I will be towing this thing on a trailer behind my car. Need to still buy the trailer but I will wait till I'm done this tank first. Thank you for the kind comments guys. These really are a lot of work and this definitely motivates me a bit more. On Feb 25, 5:50 pm, SteveH <[email protected]> wrote: > Wow. Very, very, wow. Beautiful engineering and craftsmanship.
