Marx Battleground, Training Center, and Other Military Playset Pieces - Jeep, Tank, and Halftrack Pulling The Field Gun

Does it seem like I'm posting all these Marx toys in a helter-skelter fashion? Yup. U betcha!  😜 Honestly. I didn't quite realize what I was getting myself into when I started this series - but hey, it's been fun and I've learned a bit along the way. Back on 29 June, I made a post "How Did You Tow Your Cannon's?", however, it only included one photo of each of the vehicles. But after all, I did do a complete photo essay on all three so why not go ahead and post the whole shebang? 

When, I was a kid, I always pulled the field gun with my Jeep. Now, as an adult, I realize that this particular gun would have been too big in real life for the diminutive Jeep to haul. More than likely the clutch would have been blown trying to pull this piece. When you look at the side profile below, you can see that in real life, that cannon would've been darn heavy.

Jeep & Field Gun

As a toy, the barrel of the gun is just plastic. In real life, that would be one heavy chunk of metal!

Tank & Field Gun

While we may not think of tanks as haulers, I have seen videos of them doing just that. After all, they had the power to haul field pieces with no problem.

Halftrack & Field Gun

As well, I've seen videos of halftracks hauling ordnance.
