One of the pictures above caught my attention. A different angle, but looks similar to this. I took this picture last year in Michigan. Jesse.

The armored snows had double wheels and tracks, solid tires and steel sprockets.... plus reinforced crosslinks... I wouldn't advise trying to make one from a Muskeg or J-5... if accuracy counts. For those who wondered about the Penguin Mark II "#8", it has been completely destroyed. |

While booting around the back forest in my frankencarrier the other day I spotted some track protruding from the ground. I pulled it out with the carrier and what I have is about 14 feet of double track...most of the cross pieces rusty, some all the way through, but it is friggen heavy for a rubber/metal track. I'll get some pictures this weekend and look around for more parts...

sadly, i was talking to a fellow here in Quebec not long ago who said he came across an armoured snomo a few years earlier. The owner had died and his elderly widow would sell but wanted too high a price...It ended up scrapped...
Meanwhile Convoy Mag number 28 has a couple of photos of military snomachines including a Penguin awaiting restoration at Calnan`s and Convoy 29 has a feature of sorts on Penguins including one found at a farm auction our western Canada...no idea what became of it.
