If fact these are they:

at 97 tons the each. Well you do get one engine per wheel, with three speed Torquematic gearboxes, so you're not inconvenienced to change gear ! Mind you puncture repairs might be difficult, as the 36.00 x 41 tyres weigh just over 3000 lbs the EACH.

 

But Hey, What price fun ?

I don't think the ebay one is the same as the two in Pounds,it's actually smaller :schocked:. I have some info on BARC's ans LARC's which I will attempt to find.

 

There's another example like the ones in Pounds at Hooton Park on the Wirral. Big is not a word that does those things justice,they are not really a vehicle,more a ship with wheels.

 

On the subject of things that float,I'd love an LVT!!

 

Matt.
