Netherlands - Reomie US 2 1/2 and 5 ton trucks
Reomie. Located in Ooij, near Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
They used to have hundreds of trucks but they are winding down. Friendly people, but sending outside the Netherlands by mail is a problem for military material.

Time to try again to make a list of European salvage yards and part suppliers now we have such an extensive European Member list.
Please, this is a thread to help European and other SteelSoldier members to get parts or complete trucks inside Europe.

Finally some time to canvas.
Hopefully we will now manage to complete the restoration: back in my son's workshop area
Two oldies still going strong. A 54 year old 5-ton Dump truck weighing 10 000 kg and a more than a century old steam hammer weighing in at 20 metric tonnes with a 750...
Reading Texandy's remarks and my own words, I remembered that I posted on another thread about this as well. Then I found back Gimpyrobb's sticky about this on the Deuce, and decided to update that thread with my experience.
The short of it: an engine stop lever stuck in out, which kept the...

Thanks to some remarks by Texandy and speeding up my own brains, I found back this and other threads on the topic. Best to put my experience and pics here as well.

My M51A2 multi fuel has been stationary quite long, awaiting repairs but moved a few times to make place for repairs on the workshop itself. Last time it was moved to a nearby field without problem. Now, 6 months later, the workshop is ready but I cannot get the truck started. Normally, even in...
Would be very interesting for us to see that equipment. We are operating a blacksmith workshop that originally was of a farrier who also made the steel rims for around the wooden wagon wheels. We sometimes do demonstrations of shoeing.
Also, in our WW1 project, we came across mobile...
Great pics, especially of the truck with the mule.
As many pictures as possible is often a good thing, but which pic is going to represent your truck? Unleash your picture collection in the voting thread, but according the wise tribal elders (not me) controlling the nominations:

Some pics from inside and outside pomcus (or POMS) in the Netherlands and Germany.
My probably naive idea of the POMS routine below. Every half year, a group would come, start all engines, run them warm, then replace ALL oils and filters and whatever. Then they would switch off the light...
Just as filling, I will jump in again also, and promise to do a bit more canvassing this month.
I nominate my M51A2 DUMP truck
:roll: :roll: :cookoo: :cookoo:
No, no, it is no error, my dump truck legally also can be driven as a tractor, shown here ready for inspection at the Dutch...
Some years ago "carlo" from Italy was very active here, and he has a ton of MVs. Have not seen him on SS for some years, anybody know if he is still active?
