Story Posted January 23 Share #327 Posted January 23 Did we do any Marmon Herrington's yet? Nothing came up when I searched, so.... 1) Background reading https://usautoindustryworldwartwo.com/marmon-herrington.htm 2) This is one of three ex-Guatemalan Army CTMS-1TB1 gate guards that came into northern NJ with a lot of @12-14 M41 Walker Bulldogs in the early 1990s. I remember the guy who purchased them pointing out that the former owners kept them running with Stuart roadwheels and tracks. The semi-auto 37mm was fed by five-round horse-shoe shaped clips and had a gorgeous bronze action cover (reminded me of a Gatling Gun's) that had to be cut in two for importation. This one is on the grounds of the National Guard armory at Lawrenceville, NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted January 23 Share #328 Posted January 23 Very interesting (fugly too), Thanks for the link, I'd never read up on this make of AFV Here's an even better link with details on when and where these tanks were deployed in the Caribbean. Scroll way down the page (but do read it all, eh?) and you'll find the Guatemalan Tanks with photos and their dispositions.

Marmon-Herrington CTMS-ITB1 I am the uncredited photographer of this group shot, near Dover NJ. I can probably even pick out the spot where I took it for the panorama view. Come to think of it, I might have written the article they associate it with (Source: Wheels & Tracks 50.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RITtiger Posted February 4 Share #335 Posted February 4 Priest located outside the Guard base in Winchester TN. This is the new location but it sat in front of the old one for as long as my 51 years can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RITtiger Posted February 4 Share #336 Posted February 4 Unfortunately this one and several to follow were part of the AAF Museum in Virginia that first started in NY. It is now closed unfortunately as it was quite amazing that this was all one private collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RITtiger Posted February 4 Share #337 Posted February 4 These were some of favorites from the AAF. They may be out of order as it kinda did it's own thing when uploading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted February 7 Share #339 Posted February 7 Somewhere in America, forgot to make note of location. Anyway we see the Hull Numbers are mumbo jumbo, and not historically marked etc. Hull Machine Gun aperture we see has been faired over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
