Hey Pallas, no one's got anything on the humvee, and I just don't know, so I guess since you're the last one to get something right, you better go next.

In 1941 Number 9000 was commissioned by the Dominion government and rebuilt at Transcona Shops to represent a camouflaged boxcar. At this time, the Beardmore engine was replaced with an EMD 16-567A marine engine because of the difficulty in getting parts for the former. It served as a power unit in British Columbia at the time a Japanese invasion was a threat and pulled an armoured train.

This latter role for Number 9000 was a well-kept secret to almost everyone—even to us working at Calder during the war. It must have gone through Edmonton on its return when the invasion threat diminished in 1944, but we didn’t hear of it. Number 9000 was given back to the CNR, its shroud removed, and the units put back into service between Québec and Edmundston until their retirement for good on May 20, 1946. The configuration after removal of the shroud was different from its original look, as seen in the accompanying picture.

Changing the name on the pic sometimes helps....

Here's my go at things...

I blotted out a couple of things...

[Traveller]

Japanese Type 2 KA Mi? I think the aussies played around with using this one at one point. Cant be sure. I am not a tank officinado.

 

[NavyShooter]

Good guess...your turn!  Well done.

[Traveller]

Heres the next one. Take a guess. I am sure some people will get this right away.

 

[Nfld Sapper]

Reminds me of the Daleks of Dr.Who fame.... ;D

 

[Rayman]

That wouldnt happen to be a M1917 would it?

 

[Traveller]

Technically no. Not the same tricannon on it, and wrong country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_FT-17   But the design is almost identical. The russians stole the design from the french(?) and changed it to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-18_tank their T-18 tank. http://www.wargaming.net/tanks/MODELS/ms1t18.htm The ones shown are the ones with the 45mm. Not the MS1 trigun.

But close enough for sure.

Your up.


PS
And as for the Sapper who mentioned that they look like Daleks, yeah they sort of do! Just saw that now. Except that they are not made of garbage cans, and a plunger i suspect.  ;D

 

[Rayman]

Alrighty then. Name this one:

 

[Rayman]

Should I give a hint?

[geo]

Shape would suggest a Ferret scout car that has been bastardized into I know not what the F$?%?

 

[Danjanou]

Cute little thing ain't it. Cam jacket is Swiss and I think that's a Centurian in the background, if those clues help.

 

[Rayman]

Danjanous going in the right direction with the Swiss theme.

 

[larry Strong]

More inclined to say it looks like a T54/55 in the back ground
