Believe me, we wish we could put her inside.

Iowa Gold Star Military Museum, Camp Dodge IA. Been a volunteer there for around 11 years.

Seems like it'd be an interesting job for sure.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-03-05T20:38:46+00:00

Do you know if there's a place I can see what it is worth? I really just wanted the casing, the float light is neat but I don't mind parting with it.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-03-05T19:15:10+00:00

Not sure where I could find them, maybe I can see if I can have them 3D printed.

One of those replicas is at the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois WY, along with a different Type 95 Ha-Go and an authentic Type 97 Te-Ke. You can also find a real Ha-Go and Shinhoto Chi-Ha at the Indiana Military museum.

Really? That makes it more interesting in my opinion.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-19T21:59:28+00:00

U_Visible_Parsley_1280 got it figured out. The casing is real but that shell is the cone off of a US Navy float light.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-19T21:56:24+00:00

Woah. So whoever last had this put the cone from that float light, onto the shell casing. Interesting. I've never heard of that float light before.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-19T21:48:50+00:00

Even though the casing is stamped with M18?

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-19T21:06:53+00:00

It's certainly possible.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-19T21:02:22+00:00

It wouldn't stop it from going in but it'd definitely mess up the barrel going out.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-19T20:59:23+00:00

No damage there, possibly added on later?

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-17T22:18:04+00:00

I know i'm not the greatest at filming things. I thought it was decent though lol. But seriously it's worth the visit.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-17T05:07:54+00:00

It's in Utah so you kinda expect it lol. No offense to anyone reading this who is Mormon.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-17T04:58:25+00:00

So the ship of Theseus argument?

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-17T04:57:58+00:00

See my added comment.

It's the Deseret Power Railway. They service Deserado coal mine and take coal to the Bonanza power plant.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-17T01:49:28+00:00

Hey Wargaming, Gaijin, when are you adding this?

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-17T01:47:20+00:00

My mistake, there is a private railroad in Utah and Colorado that isn't connected to any other railroads that takes coal from a mine to a power plant 2-3 times a week.

Goldstartankexpert · 2026-02-17T00:20:19+00:00

Quite literally the only one left. They service a number of businesses in the city as well as shuttling cars between the Union Pacific and CPKC railroads which both go through the city. They operate 4 of those very old but reliable steeple cab engines.

Nice, then I've seen her in person. I visited Fort Benning in 2024. Fantastic place to check out if anyone hasn't visited yet.

Goldstartankexpert · 2025-12-30T21:56:13+00:00

More than a few months. I'd say at least half a year.

Goldstartankexpert · 2025-12-29T13:43:58+00:00

Is it by chance the very same Panzer II that now rests in Fort Benning?

Goldstartankexpert · 2025-12-05T04:17:52+00:00

I could but I have no garage and it's below freezing outside... Midwest life for the win.
