Noel Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 This time a personal anecdote about corporal - My grandparents lived in the village of Old Dalby, then the location of a large Technical Stores Depot. Whilst on holiday with them (probably aged about nine or ten so 1959/60/61 ish) a loaded transporter/errector lorry pulled up at the gate and I was asked "which way to TSD Old Dalby". To say I was gobsmacked is probably an understatement, all I could do was point [i can clearly remember how huge the wheels seemed] It was several days before the glazed expression wore off Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooky Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I thought this was the same animal as in the first post until I counted the wheels, I will post as it looks very much like its bigger brother.[ATTACH=CONFIG]35750[/ATTACH] Regards rog8811 Reckon that is XM376/XM2/XM377 (snappy name !!!) Tank transporter XM I think shows it was experimental? It was built by the Ordnance engineers at Detroit Arsenal and had axles by Mack engines by continental and was 85' 1" long Built in 1957 and sold as surplus in 1961 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
