surviving T16s

[RichardT10829]

The two that Kevin Weatcroft has,,, are for sale from what he told me they are shot up pretty bad and have no internals at all but can be yours for £4500 (this was two years back when i started looking for a carrier)

The Swords and Ploughshares Museum near Ottawa has a cut T-16 in its collection. Mike may be able to add some info but i alsways thought that this one had some interesting features such as the towing attachment and fenders/steps on the sides. I remember John Cameron, a one-time shareholder in this carrier, saying that it was found in the Ottawa area but I can't remember where. It has a been fitted with a newer Chevrolet in-line six with 3-speed trans mounted to the input shaft of the original Ford trans, and it seems that the tracks are on backwards.

I don't think that i've ever seen carrier wheels with round holes in them, are they T-16 specific?

The angle iron rails at the edge above the tracks would identify this one as having been in one of the Canadian Infantry Division's Support Battalions as part of a 4.2" mortar platoon. Course they didn't have wooden bodies back then

I've also never seen wheels with the round holes so not sure what they originated on unless they are late patten T-16 solid disc wheels with lightening holes bored into them. Or holes bored into them to make them appear closed to the stright spoke or curved spoke patterns.
