The Toronto Star writer got a little carried away... this was an experimental conversion which never made it overseas, but is nonetheless original. And they never had "five engines" (M4A4) or "twin diesels" (M4A2) but an R975 radial, patterned after the American M4A1. At least engines are available. What a good project for the youngsters, though! This'll keep them out of trouble for a while...
If Borden's giving stuff away, can we have their late model Ram to convert to a Kangaroo in order to carry veterans on parade?
I'll have to get in touch with this chap regards this project of theirs. I'm sure that collectively, we can be of some service.
