Yeah, we called in when we were up that way recently, dad was also up for my brothers b/ day and he was keen to have a look around. The shed is bigger than most house blocks and is getting bigger soon to fit the new arrivals in. Good collection of heavy tanks and arty, the ammo that's been collected for each piece is amazing, well worth the entry fee and easy to find.

Hi Cliff, yes they are a different colour but have a closer look and you'll see that the sand colour is of a solid plate without relief holes.

There were several patterns of sprocket ring. Cast, forged and plate as well as different manufacturers styles. All interchangeable.

There is also a 38T.
And I think there is a German halftrack coming.

The Ram Kangaroo looked like this when it was recovered fron a UK range ! It has had an enormous amount of very high quality work done with very good attention to detail.
