With a battery?

What scale are these, Rich?

I'd never heard of the Terrapin before, good to learn something new.

 ;) Keep your distance!

The chain is so light it just bounces off or the belt slips.  I did consider the bob weights but I was concerned about projectiles if one let go!

Terrapin was a Thornycroft answer to a lack of DUKWs for DDay.  Built by Morris.
Not many built as DUKWs were available instead.  Used a lot in Holland in flooded polders as they could carry about 5 tons.
