This is an M8 Greyhound hull.

The photos of the E9 fittings are particularly interesting, because they are rarely seen without the bogies or idler wheel supports fixed to them.

Small update concerning the militrack event of 2011

From the information found so far, the event will be similar to the event of 2010
German military vehcle's only, that are invitation only

There has been an request from some of the participants of this year, to make some changes
An longer track with some additional challenge's, like an small hill climb and an water obstacle

They are also planning that the vehicle's will be easier to acces at certain times to give visitors an chance to do an walkaround the vehicle's

Original info, Dutch only

Hi folks

an update about the Sherman M4A3E8 with the special fittings to the hull

This Sherman is for sale, because the owning reenactor group ACES do not have the storage facility or time to maintain the tank

Does some-one have 130.000 Euro at hand to buy an nice Sherman tank

Michel

This Sherman was indeed sold and has already crossed the Atlantic.

From the G104 mailing list:
>An M4A3E8 was brought in to the port of Newark last Thursday from the
>Netherlands. It was brought in by the Kadish Museum of American Armor. I went
>over and saw it today. It is Chrysler built, but I could only make out a 7
>in SN on the tow lug. Has the original GAA and runs under its own power.

>I suppose it is a variant as it has extra tow lugs welded on the
>differential housing and an odd layout for the bottles of the fire suppression
>system being located behind the co-driver. There is also a power-take-off unit
>between the drive shaft and transmission. There are areas on the hull where
>the welded seems are ground flat in the same areas where the M32 has the
>front supports for the arms.

As stated before, please note this is a converted M74 TRV.

HTH,

Well, let us know if you are going to visit the location

- Trichenor

Another option is that we arange a second European meeting and someone of us waites for you at the airport. For me its 60 km to Eindhoven and 100km to Overloon, and I believe Michel Krauss also lives in the neighbourhood.

yes, I live in the neighbourhood
It is just 125km directly to Overloon and if I stop at Eindhoven only 180km Wink

However, we will find an solution if the event will take place

Maybe something to keep in mind, for next year
The militrack event (the German halftracks, trucks, etc) at Overloon (may-2010) was organized together with the Dutch AFV modelling club, Twenot

Next year Twenot is 35 years old and they are planning an show at the Overloon museum
Rumour is that something like Militracks (or something like it) will be organized again, the show is planned for 15th of may 2011

Thanks all. I don't plan to visit Overloon soon, but I will consider it for the future

The nearest train station is Vierlingsbeek. That's about 5 km to the museum
But difficult to get a bus from there ( the middle of nowhere )
I took once a taxi to the train station
For accomodations there is also enough choice
see here www.gastvrijoverloon.n...ernachten/
It's in Dutch ,but feel free to ask in help for translations

I have no problem investigating the plane trip. Bergamo is too far for me, but Milano Malpensa is well served and pretty cheap, I would just land in Amsterdam and take a train from there. What's Overloon's nearest train station?

Are accomodations available near Overloon? If yes, how far from the Museum? I see the collection is pretty large and would deserve more than just a quick visit.

Thanks

Massimo

How complicated is to reach Overloon with public transports?

It involves some plane, bus, train, bus hopping.

There is a low cost company flying from Bergamo to Eindhoven, from there on the bus to Eindhoven Central Station, then the train to Horst, next a bus to Venray and to finnish another bus to Overloon.

Another option is that we arange a second European meeting and someone of us waites for you at the airport. For me its 60 km to Eindhoven and 100km to Overloon, and I believe Michel Krauss also lives in the neighbourhood.
