A request from the Ohio Veterans Home asking for 4 new tanks was answered by Toledo-Sylvania Elks Lodge #53. Okay, so they are small, remotely powered tanks, but one in particular was the kind used in WWII!

Each one has a steel gearbox, metal tracks 360’ degree rotating turret, high power rechargeable battery, radio control system. The Veterans plan to have “Guy Stuff” competitions.
