Anyone need a tank?

Apparently the Littlefield collection in California is getting a large amount of its vehicles auctioned off and the rest are getting sent to Massachusetts .

The auctions are being held here, at least some of them?

One of them (The Conqueror) was actually the subject of one of Wargaming's Inside the Chieftain Hatch video sets. Here.

So who wants to amass a couple hundred thousand USD to buy a tank?

A bit of a sidebar maybe, but when I lived in Maryland I went to Aberdeen Proving Grounds on several occasions where they had an extensive WWI up through Vietnam armored vehicles including an ENORMOUS railroad gun (Anzio Anne) and a huge truck based one made to fire atomic artillery shells!

They also had an extensive collection of firearms, AA guns, etc.

EDIT: Looks like it's moving to Fort Lee, VA... http://www.ordmusfound.org/
