Excellent shape the equipment is in. No tracks on the tank.

I hope they don’t scrap any of it.

If memory serves, German tanks were designed to run without treads, so they could easily use railroad routes. One of the reasons the initial push against France and Britain went so quickly is, Rommel ran his entire tank force across a high railroad bridge over, hmm, one of the major rivers (considered to be a significant barrier) during the night, reinstalled treads, and merrily rolled on into attack the following morning.

It's probably worth a fortune. There are only a handful of Panzer Mk V still running and this one is very restorable.

They probably removed the track to m make easier to move around.
