Ft McCoy T95
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Its official - Mrs VB and I have collected the set!! We've seen BOTH existing T95s. Took a ride out to Ft McCoy, WI and visited the Equipment Display. A great collection of stuff!!! Any boys' dream display - from tanks to cranes to dump trucks to fire engines to - my favorite - the laundry trailer! Anyway, Some photos of the T95. Enjoy!

VB This is some new photos of another existing T95, taken today. T95 (Test Bed) (..E13.??) McCoy is a neat display. I would love to get my hands on a couple of their vehicles. I was there on TDY July - Nov 05, my final 'mission' prior to retiring. Regards Don

Dang!!! Maybe I should edit my post to read: Seen BOTH publicly displayed, easily accessible T95s. Thanks for the photos, Don. Was she a test bed for a gun to shoot around corners? Cheers!

Bob, Nope - hadn't forgot it as the Weirton T95 was the other T95 we have seen. I posted photos of it on 3/11/10 to your old post: Weirton WV T95 page 3 www.com-central.net/in...8&start=30 I thought there were only the two (Ft McCoy and Weirton, WV) in existence. Ooops.

There may also be a T95E8 range target wreck (chassis No. 2, RN 9B1050) at Camp Grayling, MI.

The RN matches up, but obviously not the same turret.

Seems to be the problem with tracking the whole T95 project. There were fairly few pure T95s (Hull & turrets) produced and a considerable number of turret swapping, then that combination was given a different classification, you can have several specific types of T95, built from the same hull.

Quite a confusing project to follow.

Don
