Landships II

a couple more....

Blimey. The Anderson track wouldn't look out of place on a WWII Tank. And it's got a very similar steering system to de Mole's - nearly 20 years ahead of him.

Tip-top stuff, Ivor.

You mean patent of Kegresse from Finland? I don't unterstand Swedish (Patet wroten in Swedish). I think is it 1916 - here is new Kegresse-system to see. On a french patents from 1913 is old Kegresse-system to see - the first. Adolphe Kegresse built hes first cars in the Garage of Tzar Nicolas II in 1912 (Mercedes 26/45 HP chassis), second - 1913 (Russo-Baltique C 24/30 HP Chassis) - all with old system. New system comming 1915 (more cars and ambulance lorries with chsassis of Russo-Baltique, Renault, Packard and one armoured car with chassis Austin 2-nd series). 1919-1921 built Poutiloff-Work in St. Petersburg others 12 armoured cars Russki-Austin-Kegresse, 1922 comming two Rolls-Royce-Kegresse cars (one for Lenin).
A. Kegresse going back to France in juli 1917.

My model of first Mercedes-26/56-Kegresse of 1912 (scale 1:43, only 70 built of my order, ca. 10 models available). This car running in januar 1913 on a ice-racing Petersburg-Kronstadt-Petersburg with  recotd for "aotomobile-slege".
