1ngram Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 What wagons did the French use to carry their tanks in WW1 up to the front? Photos? Did they use something like the British parrot? Does any European manufacturer make such a wagon? Ken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted April 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2021 I saw some photos only a few days ago. Can I remember where? I will try to work out where it would have been. I would say with a fair degree of confidence that you won't find an rtr wagon. That era is very poorly represented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue_d_etropal Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Not sure about rail transport. but some of the French tanks fitted on backs of lorries, as they were not that big. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
