Want to move your Tiger I by rail ? Or your Tiger II, your Jagdtiger even ? Soon you’ll be able to as Trumpter adds to their German WWII rail lineup with the 80 ton Schwere Plattformwagen. I can see this sucker being very popular.
During WWII vast railroads in Europe and Russia were used to carry military items closer to the front. In the case of tanks, this got them closer to the battlefield faster than if they had been driven there under their own power. It also left the tank crews fresher for battle. The SSYMS 80 TON was used for carrying the Germany Panther and Tiger heavy tank.
