Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I have lived that hoarders life style and live it with my family. I now have gone through a catharsis. I now am actively selling everything and will let it go if I can at least break even on the object. Lucky for me most of the stuff has value and is in somewhat of a demand.
I just love selling something and running my hands through all that luscious happy green smelling paper with pictures of dead presidents on it!! I decided I want to save up for something shiny and new.
Anybody want to buy some HO gauge Akane brass locomotives to create the WWII transport of goods during wartime operations?
Railroad forum?
Nicely said! In my experience, it's far more effective to go back door through wife or kids who probably are sick of looking at rusted iron and will start drilling the owner to let it go. But that involves a lengthy road, patience, and unknown payoff -- few of us can deal with the process..."I'll restore it someday". No you won't you inbred hick. It will disolve into the dirt until it's WORTHLESS, and when you die your family who curse your name for being a royal PITA pack-rat all your life, will bring a roll-back dumpster to your place after your funeral and sell your "priceless" heirlooms for scrap value, when someone who honestly wanted to save it for future generations to enjoy could've saved it NOW.
I hate owners like this. It's a disease, trust me, I know have a couple friends like this and arguing logic with them is a waste of time and my patience.
Howdy and waste of a good halftrack....found on land in NV near Reno....all there but not moveing ....sat at back of ranch land ....what a waste of a good haltrack.....The owner wont sell.....Will come in useful someday...AS A PAPERWEIGHT dumb hick...
Hey Al Harvey, sure am hoping you'll consider posting a picture of that in "The Mess Hall":Woodwalker, I think it's more then just "the guy won't sell it to ME". I'm a big history person and am saddened by how much history has gone the scrap route and is gone forever. One example I have here is an original iron ore wagon frame form the 1800s. As far as we know is the only one remaining from whole county, and possibly the country since I haven't found pictures anywhere of another one with solid iron wheels.
Very nice item, battlcr:A friend found a halftrack with a crane. He only wanted the halftrack but I couldn't let the crane go to scrap. so it came home! It s a WW2 Quickway crane. I'm looking for any info I can get on a it.

No the crane was mounted on a Brockaway 666 or Coleman truck, IH M-5-1, even seen them mounted on an M-34Very nice item, battlcr:
- Hope you'll consider a stand-alone thread for it (it deserves the spotlight!)
Was that crane/ half-track combination an original piece of G.I. equipment?
