As a result of this effort, the “Weasel Light Cargo Carrier” designated “T-15″ was the earliest production version of the weasel family. It had the engine in rear and driver in the front-center position.

Approximately 750 were manufactured for the war effort and testing. It has the WWII radio, headset, tools, skies/poles, sleeping bag, backpack, WWII white out military clothing, WWII boots with ice spikes, snow pack, tools and more. This is a very nice T-15 and the extra gear makes an excellent display. The engine compartment is fully detailed and extremely clean.

Pyke’s plan to hamper the atomic weapons development project for which he proposed a fast light mechanized device that would transport small groups of commando troops of the 1st Special Service Force across the snow. In active service in Europe, Weasels were used to supply front line troops over difficult ground when wheeled vehicles were immobilized.
The engine was a Studebaker Model 6-170 Champion, a 6 cylinder 169.6 cubic inch 4-stroke engine. This was a production auto engine.
