Landships II

I enclose a photo of a tractor/internal combustion traction engine. Apparently it was made in the USA, shipped to Russia and used on the Eastern front then captured by the Germans and, possibly, shipped off for service on the Western front Can any one identify the make?

Dear All, I am on the moment restoring a German Traction Engine known as the KEMNA EM type. Our engine was build by Haubold in Chemnitz, but other makers buit the same engine, all to the original design of Julius Kemna. It is for sure that these traction engines were used for heavy haulage, like guns etc....

Does anyone have any photographs of Hudson staff cars or other vehicles based on the same chassis?

Does anyone know if anyone does a model of the FWD 3 ton trucks? Reviresco does a Jeffrey Nash Quad which is similar but prefer the looks of the FWD. Cheers, Rob

Spotted this vehicle as a sort of support vehicle on the London to Brighton run on both the Saturday at the Regent Street event, and parked up at Hyde Park Corner on the Sunday morning of the run. Turns out it's an R type, rated at 5 tons but the WD rated it as a 3 tonner as it tended to be overloaded by British t...

Evening all, was wondering if anyone had any photos of the AEC Y type lorry? Going to get the Matador Model so could do with a few references. Cheers, and happy new year, Rob

Apologies in advance for this. I had to tell someone. Stanley Brenton von Donop was, despite his surname, a Lieutenant-General in the British Army. I suspect he might have been a descendant of Count Carl Emil von Donop, a Hessian colonel who fought for the British in the American War of Independence....

Not too much that we don't know, but I'll tr...

A while ago there was some discussion about the relationship between the two above?gents and the origin of the trade name Caterpillar. Here's some more stuff. It goes over some old ground but I think some of it is new, even if it throws up some apparent contradictions. From Classic Caterpillar Crawle...

Could I ask for people's opinions on?this photo?? It shows a Mark IV Female, but with the unusual Crew number I.W4. 9th Battalion tanks always seem to have a full stop (period for our US readers!) after the Battalion I, so I'm assuming this is a 9th Battalion machine.? But "W"?? Could this me...

Monday's episode is about Albert Kahn, the man who funded the autochromists. Unfortunately, Part One was last week....
