"The Scammell Pioneer was a British 6×4 tractor unit used in World War II as an artillery tractor, recovery vehicle and tank transporter. Designed as a 6×4 off-road vehicle for use in Britain's colonies where sealed roads were scarce, the Pioneer was first produced in 1927. Though lacking all-wheel drive, its combination of a suspension with great travel, excellent traction, and a low-revving engine gave it impressive pulling power on rough ground at low speeds. Though not designed for military use, the British War Office purchased a single petrol engined example in 1932. Equipped as a tank transporter with a permanently coupled 18t semi-trailer, it was assigned to a training unit but did not initially catch on. Additional transporters were not purchased until 1937…"

Forgive me for asking the obvious question but the article is entitled Scammel Pioneer truck which the writeup and photos at the top show and yet the bottom 3 photos show a German Maultier truck as does the link at the bottom takes you to more photos of the Maultier so what has that to do with the Scammel? Shouldn't the link take you to more photos and info on the Scammel? |

Some nice pics though. Many gamers may not know how much rolling stock support log is required for WII, etc., heavy divisions. |
