Welcome to The Tank Museum Workshops Channel The Tank Museum Workshop 2025-11-11 | Welcome to our new Channel “The Tank Museum Workshop”.Our Workshop team are the unsung heroes of The Tank Museum. And with our major King Tiger V2 project about to start, it’s time we shone the spotlight on the men in black… This isn’t just about history. Here, we’ll focus on the engineering… The Maintenance, preservation, restoration and conservation. In the Workshop, we’ll go behind the scenes and behind the history: For the first time, we’ll be there for every pack lift and track bashing session… For every oil change and engine overhaul….And we won’t just explain what we’re doing. But how we’re doing it - and why we’re doing it that way. Our team will show us how they keep these vehicles in running condition… Whilst preserving these for future generations of visitors to enjoy. These are the machines that shaped our history. Now we’re going to tell the stories that lie beneath the engine decks. We’ll answer your questions, explain our decisions, show you how things work, and how they break.And, we’re excited to take you on a journey… as we experience the highs and lows of restoring King Tiger V2 to running condition.
