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...
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.

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...
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...
