For those wanting something a bit different the Tiger Tiger shop on Sauchiehall Street Glasgow has some very fine elephants which look just about the right size to frighten our trains. £7 a time.

And there was me thinking "...burning bright". I have one with sound in it - press a button under its belly and it trumpets!
 
There could a CW song in this.....

With a heading of Tiger, Tiger, and reference to frightening trains, I thought you meant this type of Tiger.

Er, that's a Yank in the turret

(Actually the machine guns have been removed so I reckon this photo is post war.)
 
Tigers? one way of buying LGB I suppose,

Given the Yank "commander" and the look of the terrain in the photo, it kind of suggests Tunisian Campaign to me..... the first time the Allies encountered the Tiger 1 in combat and got some very nasty surprises. Despite that I believe one or two were captured during those actions and promptly shipped back to Aberdeen Proving Ground for assessment.

No, no, no. Elefants trumpeted

As you can see they also make impressive loads for flat cars :eek:
 
Ah, the Elefant (otherwise known as the Ferdinand after the designer, Herr Doktor Porsche) - one of the biggest blunders in AFV design since the St. Chamond.... no defensive MGs, so the Russkie infantry just swarmed all over them with grenades and sticky bombs. The next batch got an MG34 fitted in the bow..... :)

If I remember rightly he was in a tank and said "You can park it anywhere" then crushed a car while moving it to the side of the road. Ace.

There is of course Mr Bean's poor mini that was squashed by a tank at the school fête.
 
I must have missed that episode of Mr Bean. But yes, that was Kenny. What a satisfying way of dealing with obstructions.

Thanks for that - enjoyed it. I do remember it now - especially the ending! Just shows that it's the little things that matter!:rofl:
