I came across this early postcard showing a heavy gun being transported to or from Brasschaet (Brasschaat) in Belgium. The postcard is dated 1913, but the steam engine is much earlier - c.1880. The people's dress suggests they are civilians rather than military - perhaps haulage contractors or scr...

Came across this 1970s book at a friend's this weekend. (We suspect that it's actually mine, but it was so long ago I can't remember lending it to him) Anyway, the embarrassing part is that all the stuff I was so proud of having discovered about the Hussite War Wagons?is in there. So are the Batter Tracto...

Hello Guys! I would like to share the progress of my scratch built A7V. I think the painting on the armoured body is done for about 90 percent.
