Hello USSR, Ozzy trucker from Australia here. I am fascinated by this large Russian-built T-800 dozer. It's in the Cat D11/ Komatsu D575 class, way ahead of its time, at the time. In fact, I've been attempting some research on it for a while and among the few pics I could find (very hard to...

Yes mate, I'm here as planned. Have been to quite a number of mil-vehicle museums, shows and visits across the country. I had a very good visit with Steve and Dave at Eastern Surplus & Equipment Co in Philly, Steve kindly showed me around the complex and sales yard, very grateful for their time...

Thank you Ahab. Much appreciated. \ Cheers Ozzytrucker

It was a good show indeed. We didn't meet unfortunately, saw the M113 whizzing around. Great rig. Cheers ozzytrucker

Just a quick thanks to all our Steel Soldiers friends who kindly went to the effort to offer me some suggestions for military stops of interest along the route. Look forward to catching up with you guys en-route as I travel across country. Your suggestions are much appreciated. Cheers Ozzytrucker.

" Give me some idea of when you might be swinging through the Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois area . . . ." Thanks Dave. I won't know till I get over there. I'm wandering wherever the road takes me looking at trucks, military trucks, old earthmoving, main-line rail-fanning, steam...

Thanks Ahab, that's good one to check on the run State by State. Cheers

Great rigs Matt. Credit to you guys and what you can do. I'm looking forward to seeing some of these when I come to the U.S.A for 3 months starting next week. Tell me something please; it may be a photographic illusion, maybe not, but the M1070 looks almost twice the size of the M916?. The...

That's a really nice 916 you've done Matt.

That's a good list Steve, thanks. I can check on it as I go across country. Cheers

Thanks for that jeepsinker. I went on that during my 2012 U.S. trip. I didn't know until I arrived there at the time, that the day I went on the D&S RR it was the first trip of the Spring season and there was a race between the steam train and cyclists to the top. There we some spectacular cycle...

Thanks Steve. I'm a bit of a RR fan too. I'll be spending a few days at Cajon Pass, The loop and HC at Altoona.

Another Deck Pic Here's a cropped out close-up of the trailer from the original image (which I down-sized for the board).

Thank you K5, that's a kind offer. Have put on my list. Cheers

This is a really good show, run by Larry and Ronnie Kotkowski and their families on 27th April 2014 at Lakeside Sand & Gravel, 3498 Frost Rd, Mantua, OH 44255. They put on a great show, at least 100 trucks and machines including Mil-trucks all working. They don't charge an entry fee, instead...

You're welcome, will see you there on 27 April. Have put the details on Up-Coming Events Forum. Cheers

Thank you Corporal. Shall keep in touch. FYI, I have a full road licence rating for class 8 Heavy Vehicles and Semi-Trailers. Cheers,

Thank you Corporal. Shall keep in touch.

Sorry gents, that is my only pic. It was really cold and freezing wet at the time. I'll be attending the Lakeside Sand & Gravel Company annual historic truck and equipment working show near Mantura OH on 27thApril again this year. It will most probably be there again and I intend to do a...

I took this photo myself at the Lakeside Sand and Gravel Co annual show at Mantua OH last year. It's in beautiful condition so I thought I share it here. I took the photo as mentioned so I'm making it copy-right free here at Steel Soldiers for our colleagues to copy or print or do with whatever...
