Certainly a neat effort but, for Mr carmey who want to teach the kids about the priciples of diesel engines etc I think he has a small problem there...

It begs me to ask the question then, how exactly is the school going to tackle this project considering a) there is no source of propulsion and I doubt the school has the capability to move it around and b) I doubt the school has the ability to manhandle the large components eg with a crane etc.

I suspect this is a simple cleanup, paint etc job. Good for them anyway but hardly a restoration by any means...

P.S. my other question is why in the world would they loan out such a unique and relatively rare piece of armour for a bunch of highschool brats and amateur restorers to muck with???

Is anyone familiar with teacher Carney in mv circles or is this a "first" for him too...???
