Well, this week in honor of the just completed Memorial day weekend a repeat of some Shermans being offloaded in time for some training maneuvers...

THANKS Vets!

Thomas the Tank Engine pushes the Troublesome Trucks into position for Team track loading.

As the memorial day decorations are prepared for their annual return to Akron Flag Rental, the township's new naval cannon has arrived via the Team Track!

A small group of residents have worked tirelessly over the last 16 years to get this cannon to Everett. Rumor has it that back in May of 1812, Benedict Clarence Wilson, one of the valley's first residents, used a cannon just like this to single-handedly prevent an invasion by British spies (unofficially starting the War of 1812). As the story goes, Wilson just happened to have a surplus naval cannon in his barn on the day he encountered the spies paddling their way down the Cuyahoga River. Wilson rolled out his cannon, packed it full of powder and lit the fuse. The noise was enough to frighten the Britts and send them fleeing into the wilderness. According to the legend, Commodore Perry was so impressed with the story that he personally requested to have Wilson's cannon on board the USS Lawrence!

Some "historians" from the university doubt the claims. They feel it's more likely that Wilson never had a cannon, never met a spy, and never had contact with Perry. Either way, Everett's new cannon is going to look great at the top of Mud Hill!

Mark did those Shermans start out as red and yellow?  I bought two toy Sherman kits that were painted a wild red and yellow and two m48 Pattons that were silver and black.  So far I've assembled one of each and hit them with OD green.

Very nice photo guys 

Mark your tribute to Vets is great  Love those Sherman tanks and great scenes too

Randy - Thomas is always welcome to spot a car on the TEAM TRACK  

Coach Joe - thanks for stopping by.

Thomas - nice Memorial Day tribute.  Love the old cannon too

RPMCOBRA - great logging scene.

Justhavinfun - very nice layout.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to take a gander of happenings on the TEAM TRACK.   See ya next week on TTT.  Have a wonderfully fun and creative week

Thomas, Love those flags, very nice scene. Everybody needs a surplus navy cannon in their barn. 

Coach Joe, Yep those are the ones. I think they came with  title "quake" or some other goofy thing...

They build up into nice models, for the price. Perfect for O gauge flat cars, painted in Olive drab of course.
