Klaiber Posted January 14, 2019 Report Posted January 14, 2019 Wow, that's amazing! Can you imagine driving down the road, and running into that convoy heading in the opposite direction. Razwald and Stuka 2 Quote

-Hawkeye- Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I read recently that they didn't allow steam powered vehicles near the front, because it was too easy for enemy artillery to spot and destroy them. Instead, they used narrow gauge railways that had gasoline powered engines. It looked like the steer gear reduction on the steam tractors was at least 20 turns lock-to-lock; now there's a job of work driving that for a long time! The maximum speed appeared to be somewhere around 10 mph. It looked like boiling away of the (unpressurized?) radiator water was a recurrent problem. The one guy removing the cap of the radiator that had boiled out did not seem like too good of an idea.... Ironic that much of the modern vehicle traffic along the way was BMW, Volkswagen and Audi made. Even the fire safety vehicle at the end was Mercedes. It would make one wonder who won the war Very interesting and entertaining, thanks for sharing! S! Quote
