5 ton roadtrip hauling a halftrack

[gpp111]

350 mile roundtrip roadtrip, my M818 hauling a halftrack to an event in PA. No issues at all, did well, but certainly slowed a bit on some of the steeper grades on I-81. The Halftrack is a post war Czech OT-810 converted to give it a WWII appearance, the StuG III is a replica built on the platform of a UK FV432 APC. Pulling about 12 tons track and trailer. Speed, 55 mph on flat roadways, one steep grade low of 28 mph, mid grades in the 40s..

Used a common carrier to haul my StuG replica, 13 tons.

Hey Goeff, its Luke and Richie from GD in NY. Good to see the armor heading to events. I (Luke) have moved onto other iron and have fun with a 923a2.

Outstanding. The SdKfz-251 and the 250 series have always amazed me. Not sure what it is about them but they are just so cool. Fully understand this is an OT810.

I saw an actual SdKfz-251/1 (I think it was an Ausf C) this past week at Ft Bliss along with a 88mm Flak 36, 105mm leFH18/40, Zundapp KS750, Hetzer and a bunch of American stuff. I'll post pics when I get a chance.
