@RonH posted:Hi Craig, I like your M60 on the flat. This is the type of tank that I used when I was in the Army. Suggestion is when a tank is on a flat cat the turret is turned around with the main gun facing backwards in a thing called a travel lock. This way when the tank is on the flat car the main gun does not get jarred around. Anyway it looks real good. The second photo with the camouflage reminds me of my tank in the service as we were doing camouflage test 1973. Brought back a lot of memories
Ron,
Glad you like the tank. Thanks for the first hand tips. And thanks for your service.
I was running this train at the AFRH and noticed a veteran staring at the Sherman tank for twenty minutes or so, I went over to him and said “you really like that tank”. He opened up and told how he lied about his age, joined the Army underage at 15, and spent WW2 in a Sherman tank, stayed in after the war was over, he served in Korea, and Vietnam. He is now in his 90’s and looked like early 70’s. Remarkable.
