Default Rick's Carriers

Hi my name is Rick and I live in Sydney Australia and I am new to the forum. I am interested in carriers and have been since I was 10 and I saw my first carrier at a place called Casula Wreckers in Sydney, and now in my 40's am still interested and I have collected a few carriers along the way. I own a LP1 in running order, an LP2A under restoration and recently purchased a 2 attack carrier in running order. When I get a bit better at using this program I will post some photos.

Regards
Rick

Hello Rick,

Welcome aboard. We would all love to see photo's of your Carrier. If you have trouble posting them ask a 15 year old. They are way better in these things. That's what I usually do the first time....

Cheers,

Marc

Hi Rick,
Welcome to MLU. We are glad that you have found us as this site is the best out there.
We are certainly looking foward to your photos and I'm sure that Salesman Bob will want the details of your carriers for his data base.

I regret to inform you that there is no known cure for The Green Disease (TGD). You'll have to tough this so-called sickness on your own. But your friends and fellow TGD sufferers will support you along the way.

They're bloody terrific.
Have I got it correct that the scaffolding is being used to support the shed frame while you use the block and tackle? Handy idea.

Hi David

Here you go. I took these pics last May at the Campbelltown Steam and Machinery Museum. Didn't know then that these 2 carriers belong to Rick.

Greetings
Chris

... and here some pics of the Anti Tank Carrier. She was stuck in 3rd gear, therefore the gearbox was opended "in the field" and repaired. She drove afterwards beautifully.
