Interesting video of the only currently drivable Tiger I in existence;

Rather quiet for such a big beast…
Thats incredible. A good inside look at the Tiger. Now, if only i could get my hands on one…or almost any afv for that matter.

GLORIOUS—thanks man, a very cool link!![8D]— did you view any of the others?-- the one submitted by ‘Belethorian’ compiles a bunch of stills to Rammstein’s ‘Ohne dich’-(without you)- almost honestly brought a tear to my eye–thanks again,treadwell
There used to be a really intense video of Nebelwerfers firing synched to the tune of Rammstein’s “Fuer Frei”. My sons thought it was great…[{(-_-)}] “This rocks, Dad!!!” [}:)]
Got removed for content violation…whatever that is. [sigh]
Wow, did anybody notice how clean the Balkencruz was in relation to the rest of the tank. [:-,] I have seen this guy running around with sound and it was quite different.
Achtung Panzer! When I look at the Tiger, I get the same feeling as when I look at a blond chick in swimwear. Is that weird?
Yup. As much as I like armor, it doesn’t beat a babe in a bikini. [:o)]
Proof positive of the all-weather handling of the beast at any rate…I wonder what the drivers in the stopped traffic were thinking during the whole exercise? [(-D]
Thanks for sharing Kykeon.
If I’m not mistaken, the original engine was stripped for studies when the Tiger was captured. Not sure if the replacement engine was used in later Tigers though…
Here’s a link of the Tiger’s restauration.
Quite enough to sneak behind that tiny Sherman, then…KABOOM !

My understanding is that, yes, the original engine was pulled out of the unit during the War; the engine they ended up putting back in was a slightly later model of the Maybach that had been in the Museum’s King Tiger, so it was an HL230 (23-litre), instead of the Tiger’s original (and slightly smaller) HL210. It was the only Maybach engine in existence that still had most of it’s parts.
The above link is an invaluable resource for anyone trying to build a detailed Tiger tank of any scale.
