Interesting. How many of these were produced? I have some resources o this beast. As such, I might add this to my 150 plus collection.

At first, everyone said only 3 or 4 where made, but with further research, it turned out more where made. There is another thread around here that was started when this was announced. I posted pictures I found on the net of some of these on a rail way.

Are there walkarounds of the track floating the internet?



No walkaround (yet ?) but a few hi-res views of "Maximus" on display at the Third Infantry Division Command and Control Facility on Fort Stewart in Georgia :

Maximus interior :



It's the only surviving M4 C2V. The other 24 have been recycled for parts.
