It would be worth the road tax,no more being stuck in traffic jams.

Wouldn't be a problem because it would be classed as a vintage vehicle... €48 for the year!

 

The engines in the CIÉ E class locos were almost identical to those used in the Tigers.

these models were got about 4 years ago, and getting then in from the US would be as expensive as the model itself!

A Comet would be the business... you'd have to paint it up as an Irish army Cav machine, though!

eamonn, The Waffen-SS was equipped with the same weapons and vehicles as the Army. However, the Waffen-SS usually got the newest equipment before the army and in cases of shortages, the Waffen-SS would again be the first in line for replacments.
