Degsy Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Sources disagree on production numbers but it was in the region of 1270. The first ones were designed and built by Knuckey but production was transferred to Pacific as Knuckey could not build the numbers required.

WAYNE15071965 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 For Tankfest at Bovington, we offered them the chance to have the Tiger1 recovered on a M26 on a static display. This would have been a pretty unque photo opertunity, guess what ! they said No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon_M Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I'll take air horns over wimpy sirens any day. You can see whay they usually pull the rear outer duals for just moving it about though. Thin it isn't. I've spent a while gathering original manuals for one, just in case, and there's one I have my eye on if the Lottery or ERNIE kicks in any time soon. I suppose what I really need is for someone in Scotland with lots of pennies to buy one and need crew .. that would do for now.

fesm_ndt Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 A mate of mine in Serbia just posted these. Makes me wonder how the hell it got there?

zemsi Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 ... .the flag on the bumper is Austrian. According to the book "100 Jahre Panzerwaffe im österreichischen Heer" from R. Urrisk the Austrians had 6 to 8 Pacifics, in service from 1956 until ?? So my guess is that she made her way from Austria down to Serbja...

R Cubed Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 oooh, do tell!!!! Mark Sorry Mark not much to tell, except priced more than I could stretch to and far too far away, huge transport costs just to much of a logistical nightmare with the budget I had to play with. Had second thoughts! Nope, thats not right. :blush: No second thoughts I wold have one or all of them now if I could, but its my smallish budget which is the problem :mad: Damn lottery...... does this mean in 2012 you will be driving the jimmy while Richard drives a dragon wagon? No.... not this time around. :mad: :mad: :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon_M Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) another...... You get points for identification, tried this on the ATHS page My guess is that it is a Pacific M26 with a Fruehauf M15 trailer, Whites M2 halftrack, which at nine ton is near the ten ton weight limit of the Bay City 18T-50 crane Edited June 4, 2012 by Gordon_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reldew76 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hi everyone new to the forums here etc. I've been looking for wreaks of any M-26 Pacifics that my be hiding somewhere in the forests of B.C. My Dad actually used to work on one that was used by Bowmans Timber in Chilliwack B.C in the 60's, but so far all leads have turned up nothing but empty lots full of weeds lol. I may have a lead on a frame section, and not much else. what I would really like is some measurements for the armored cab version so that if my search is successful, I can manufacture a lighter weight exact replica cab. Hell if I have too, I'll convert an old Pacific logging truck lol. Thanks for any help. P.s: Don't tell my wife she's gonna kill me..... again........
