The speedometer has the function of showing you how fast you aren't going.

Just a further note by Rob: you may notice the inside of the hatches are painted white like the interior. That's not correct and getting corrected soon! It should be painted olive drab the same as the exterior. You wouldnt want an open hatch to be so visible!

Cool story if you want to read it : Dad was a truck driver and operated a tiny company with 2 Transtar cabovers, a Ford 9000, 2 40ft van trailers and a flatbed. He and my bothers hauled everything. He had contacts from his military days and from the REA railroad job he had out of the service. He hauled a few hulls and turrets from the east coast and Texas to Ft. Knox where they used combat wrecks for target practice. Knox was the U.S. army's school for tankers. As a kid I played in a German Marder, a Panzer III and what I think was the Pz IV with the short 75mm. and a Kfz 7. He didn't haul the the T28 but I spent a lot of time on and in it's very neglected fighting compartment. Every peice had been in the weather and had been home to birds and other critters for years. I had access to every tank and artillery piece the museum was preparing for display as they kept them in a lot as they decided whether it would be shot at on the range or restored. Everything there and any of the 4 my dad hauled. But the most fun was wasn't a tank or artillery piece. Dad hauled a Gemini capsule that was used for training and he hauled it from a base in Texas. He brought the space capsule to his warehouse while a museum in Kentucky prepared to install it as an exhibit. It was a 2 seat vehicle that could have flown. It had every thing that a flight model had. He had it for a year and I spent so much time flipping the 200 or 300 switches and just as many buttons I think I could fly it myself. I was just a hellion having a blast. Good times.
Thanks Daddy. Miss ya

Sorry, but the TOG 2 British tank has an interior & outside pool, billiards room, bar, and fitness club. This thing totally missed the boat on amenities.

Oh, this is perfection. I just started building a model of this tank literally a few days ago. I had no idea that it was moved, yet alone restored and now I even get to see the inside.

I used to see this tank at The Patton Museum all the time. I am so glad that an inside video was made. My Sunday School class actually went on a field trip to the Patton Museum one time.

They say you can’t miss the outside of t28 but they also lost it in a field for 27 years

It looks unusually roomy for a (albeit massive) tank. Like in New York you could rent that out to a family of four with two Great Danes without any problems

First time watching the inside of my favorite tank!!! Thank you for this opportunity Sofilein!

"Look at this low mileage baby, only 68 miles on the odometer, top speed 8 mph, and gets 20 gallons to the mile!"

Again with the Big Tonks, cant wait to see more

During the video i was thinking it would be totally awesome to see T29 with it's rangefinder ears (ohhh that sexy beast, personally best looking tank ever) given some love, just like T28.
AND THEN YOU ACTUALLY SAY IT WILL.
Even though i know that T29, T30 and T34 have taken a beating through all thoes years, I sincerly say THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING.



P. S. Don't stop :)

I live here and I saw this tank about 8 years ago sitting outside before restoration. Pretty cool to see it now. Thanks for the upload!

[michaelpatti]

I had the pleasure of meeting Rob and his team at the Fort Benning Armor museum...also got to see the newly refurbished T28 and many other wonderful steel beasts that his team has restored into a wonderful collection. Awesome museum. Really great pieces, and I cannot wait until the full facility is completed!

I have long been an armor nut. Model kits, YT videos and games. The T95 has been the ghost that has defied deep investigation and pics. These videos of its new digs are BOSS! Thank you SO MUCH for going into such depth of this most elusive chunk of iron!

[topoffpancake]

This is so amazing to see! What a time to be alive

I like how he mentioned commander being responsible for looking for targets and for "natural threats" which were not other armored vehicles or anti tank guns but bridges and ditches.

[darthfader]

The T28 is getting to be one of my favorite Armored vehicles, Thanks for another informative video's

[nicz]

If the T95 would have met a Tiger..


T95: "So you are bullying Sherman?"

[dotonenote]

Fantastic! Never expected there to be that much space in the T95!
