Very glad a reproduction was made. Now we need photos and a war movie!

No movie sadly but the always good Panzermuseum.com now has some decent shots and an article on the German A7V Replica:
Panzermuseum.com - A7V Assault Tank
(And are in the process of sorting many more pictures in general by the look of things.)

You'd look stylish in it Adam, sliding across the snowy hills, dreadlocks blowing in the breeze.

It may just have generated enough breeze to move the plank my locks had basically become... but possibly not....

Have we had the Soviet Jet train yet?

Soviet Union techonlogy had some interesting ideas back in the day. Here is one from 1970s where two jet engines from Yak-40 airplane were put on a train car so it could reach speeds of up to 250km/h which is around 180mph

>>> Soviet Union jet train…
