I would love to model one but where can I find roller bearing 3 axle Buckeye trucks for the DODX M1 flats and or 1:48 or 1:50 scale Stryker vehicles?
Here is mine......

In the first half of the second video I thought that you were trying get us to believe that the Ringling Brothers had a circus army. I might have believed it if they shot a clown out of a canon.

I have so many military trains it's hard to pick. Love this type of posts.

Larry, that's a loooong train for a Pulmore! One engine or two? I could hear the strain of the motor in the corner, but it did well!
Geopeg funny
Yes you are correct. It is the new model Alco that came out a few years back from Lionel. Only A powered. It's tough.
What's funny is I tried to pull that train with my WW-2 steam engine from the WW- 2 set just for fun. Not going to happen

Here's Menards Military train

I wish Menards would offer us some new US Army tanks on flatcars.
PALALLIN, Good the see the Long John cannon on the flat. I have been looking for one, or more, and have had no luck. I recall one as a teen that came with a half track to pull it. Not certain the model maker, but I bought mostly Revell kits. But, I do need at least one for my military consist. Good looking armor you have. Not pics of all I have to use, but this would make a great military consist. Includes some captured armor from European theater.

Here's some of my military train. Has grown now to over 45 cars since this was taken.

Haven't the opportunity to put things together (still laying track) as yet so a few shots of military cars I have in storage:

I bought this un-decorated and had it painted by Northern Illinois Model Works. This will be a unique car since it was a military car re-purposed for civilian use that I re-re-purosed for military again.
Stan Cedarleaf - Cedarleaf decals supplied the decals.
I also have the Atlas O Troop Kitchen and Troop sleeper on order from Steve Nelson (Mr. Muffins Trains) - since last Sept. Hopefully one of these years Atlas O will get off their butts..................

The military training exercises are all wrapped up at Camp Roberts, and military loads are heading south. https://youtu.be/3TvzH-OnW8k

Any chance there is a photo book of prototype pre -1941/WWII military trains? With Marx offering so many "army trains", there must have been some rolling before Pearl Harbor? I suspect a lot of photos of these are post PH, and outside my era.
