flat bed and lower flat beds,crates(scatchbuilt from FRED..TURNER) for me sherman tanks

[CoggesRailway]

Interesting thread. Seeing those pics of flatcar on flatcar of shermans does emphasise the fact that shermans didn't really give a technological advantage (although better than early brit tanks) but the sheer number was always going to tell.

Steven pretty sure they wouldn't be netted up most the time on trains.... even in theatre a train load of heavy equipment would be enough info for recon- and any luftwaffe armed aircraft would have a go at any train, assuming opportunity targets was in their flight plan.
