I saw both of these Japanese Type 95's at the Oregon Military Museum at Clackamas. I have no idea where Wilsonville would fit in the story it is around 10 miles away. One of the Type 95's is in the shop and the other is in a storage yard close by. I will post pictures when I get home next wednesday............

I received this picture and description from Philip in California..........

Here is a photo from the Royal Thai Army of Type 95 still in service with them. And they have maintained their original Japanese Tanks and now use them for rides for visitors, I believe they still have several of them in servicable use.

Well, at the risk of slicing this too fine, is the restoration being done in Wilsonville? - or does the guy doing the restoration just live in Wilsonville?

I figure by looking at photos that it is being done on Oregon Military Museum grounds.

Could be, I went by where the guy that is restoring it lives.

Well, I think that this tank belongs to the Oregon Military Museum which is located at Clackamas. But it is currently restored by Steve Greenbreg at Wilsonville.

According to the museum website, it is in Clackamas, not Wilsonville.

Yes, that's this one which is being restored. I was looking for it on the AFV register at Wilsonville, Or. and I didn't find it . I didn't think to look at the Oregon Military Museum, where it is listed indeed. Do somebody know what the Museum will do with the wreck?

Its listed - actually two of them right? One being restored and one wreck being used for parts right?

It belongs to the Oregon Military Museum. They got it off a bombing range in the 70's. It has been is storage ever since. They started doing restoration last year. He has several post on the G503.com in the tracked area showing it being restored.

Here's a early image.....
