Ah yes - The Skoda-Sentinel SK13...
Developed in late 1944, as fuel was getting more scarce by the minute for the Germans- factory tested in Jan 1945.
No success there either, in spite of it running on just about anything that burned: coal, coke, wood etc.
Weighing 20 metric tons, pulling 9,5 (excluding coal & water supplies) at max 9 mph, range 150 km (sic!), 3-person crew,
propelled by 2 lorry steam motors (under license from Sentinel Wagon Works, Shrewsbury, built by Škoda Plzeň during the twenties).
