Re: This Polish/German armoured train story is really very persistent!
surprisemove
In all these news items throughthe months, I hadn't seen one question asked whom the gold belongs to, if found. If the train was coming from East to Germany, and got stuck in Poland, it could only be either looted 'gold' from the former USSR, or looted 'gold' from the repressed Jewish population. It certainly wasn't either Polish or German 'gold' by 1944.
If indeed there is a 'train', it seems to me the real story will start only after the dig. Cheers Greg

WOW! Great Link. Thanks Mr. Mackinlay. I have spent countless hours digging up pistol bullets and shell cases. But I never found any gold.
I am looking forward to the "streaming"!! Dan

112064328238 -- USA navy sub on TTX Trailer Train Freight Flat Car.
That is a DSRV, a Deep Sea Rescue Vehicle, used to rescue crews from sunken submarines
112064326630 -- USA navy boat on Trailer Train Freight Flat Car.
Not a navy boat, but the US Army’s MOFAB, Mobile Floating Assault Bridge/Ferry. On land it is steered from the cab, in water by a massive steering wheel at the rear. There are some bits and bobs missing, including the foldable treadways on the sides.
391512912458 -- 1962 USA SPG small enclosed compartment.
The Swedish stamp on the back was already a good indicator that it was not an US Army vehicle. It is the Artillerikanonvagn Akv 151 prototype SPG, based on the indigenous Swedish KRV tank chassis, only one built, but well photographed – the original is in the Försvarsfordonsmuseet Arsenalen in Strängnäs. When the KRV project was cancelled, Bofors put the gun on a chassis based on the Stridsvagn 103 and this developed the Bandkanon Bkan 1, which served from 1967 to 2003 in the Swedish army.
222179449072 -- 1969 French SPG.
AMX Mk 61 (AMX-105A), based on the AMX-13
Some of the auctions did not show for me, although I also checked the ended ones.
Cheers,
Jens O.

Not quite what one thinks of when you hear "armoured train"
Don
2 pics from a naval site.
This is the caption to the first pic: "A British armored train designed and manned by Terrible’s crew during the Second Boer War, covered with 6 inch anchor rope, provided by the Royal Navy, to provide it protection. The improvised additional armor was the source of its name, “Hairy Mary.” (Photo from the McGregor Museum)" don

[1-87_Military_Models] New Wingy Think [1 Attachment]
Raymond Lorts, Sr,
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Snafu Brothers snafu_brothers@... [1-87_Military_Models] <1-87_Military_Models@...> Date: Sun, Jul 24, 2016 at 12:01 PM Subject: Re: [1-87_Military_Models] New Wingy Think [1 Attachment] To: "1-87_Military_Models@..." <1-87_Military_Models@...>
[Attachment(s) from Snafu Brothers included below]
Brian thanks for calling it to our attention. Too early for us, hopefully Herpa will come out with some later goodies. Attached a photo of a 1/100 Ar 196 we got from France, in dire need of a paint job and needs to be militarized. A Tin Tin figure was thrown in, it might be 1/48 or 1/56 scale?. For some reason, Snafu the Elders wife rescued him before he was chucked into the dust bin.

Guns 361590495839 -- 1898 USA Big Guns at Fort Adams, Newport RI. enhanced photo. (6-16)
Typical of 1860s-1870s installations for 15-inch Rodman smoothbore guns, which remained in service until replaced circa 1900. These are front pintle mountings; in some locations these were on center pintle mountings. 201606293440 -- WW2 USA ship gun, maybe twin 20 mm? (6-28) Exactly. 331889845701 -- WW2 Russian 12 inch cannon in cement position. (English info on back?) From the note on the back, I’m pretty sure this is actually Battery DeRussy at Fort Monroe, Virginia http://www.fortwiki.com/Battery_De_Russy . 311642162485 -- 1940 USA 14 inch Dis. Gun Bat. Potter Ft Hancock NJ 245th CA.(see back info) (6-28) This would be a 12-inch gun (Fort Hancock had no permanently mounted 14-inch guns, although they were proved there) and it’s not Battery Potter, which had almost-unique gun lift mountings. There were three other 12-inch disappearing batteries at the fort, though. The gun lift emplacements can be seen at http://www.fortwiki.com/Battery_Potter .
