antarmike Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Ex Dutch Army FTF Tank Transporter, in livery of Magnaload, and sporting Ballast body in place of Fifth wheel. Hopefully due to appear in the Heavy haulage playpen, at GDSF 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarmike Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 It would have looked something like this in service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarmike Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 I forgot to say, between the Dutch Army, and the present owner, this truck was run in artic form by Baldwins, moving cranes in Scotland. It differs from the actual Magnaload FTF it represents, in as much as this one has Mack, non epicyclic axles, and Magnaload ran on Kirkstall epicyclic axles.

You forgot to mention it has a Detroit Diesel 2 stroke (non turbo) v12 engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelK Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Don't forget, with 475hp The FTF's are still around at oldtimer show's here in Holland About all of them are painted to represent heavy transport company's The Dutch army also still have one, in it's original funtion as tank transporter and the flatbed used is an DAF YTS 10050 Most of the time it is loaded with an old Centurion tank The combination appears at military show's and event's MichelK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
