My color version:

There is only one remaining original sling cart on display at Fort Pulaski, outside of Savannah. It is not nearly as big as these though.

Thanks. I love that photo, hard to believe that it was only 1/2 of the entire cart. BTW, if you have 3D glasses or can view stereo pair images I also have it in 3D. Really impressive.

All men are fasinated by big tools. We love to see them. Our use of them are sometimes questioned, esp by the ladies.

Yep, have to agree. I think if Tonka had been around during the CW they would have made one of these in a kids size.
