The tank barn

Picture
The tank barn is located in Sheperdsville, KY.  This is our primary location where tanks are restored, maintained, and prepared for action!  Every tuesday is tank nite.  We fix whatever is next in line, tell stories, and plan upcoming events.  Visits to the tank barn during tank nite are welcome, but should be scheduled.  Handy with a wrench?  Maybe you could come out and work on some vintage WWII armor.  Contact us for more information.

Maintenance is key to having your equipment ready when needed...


Track maintenance

Its a fact, rubber track wears out.  When track is 70 years old, it wears out fast!  So we have developed a process to rebuild track.  Unfortunately it is costly, so here we are replacing some very worn track with some moderately worn track.

Building Insulation

Over the winter we did some work on the main building.  Some cleaning, insulation installation, moving and repairing lights.  Trivial stuff compared to keeping history alive using WWII armor, but necessary!

Everything doesn't get to be inside during the winter.  Take a look at this equipment waiting for springtime.
