Default SA Railways Carrier 1363

We acquired the remains of SA Railways Carrier 1363 from another collector (thanks John). This hull is badly cut up but has some parts on it that weren't attached to either of the above carriers so will come in useful for the restoration of carrier 2515.

We are still chasing a few leads on other parts (and carrier remains) but have now acquired most of the parts needed to get 2515 back to a running carrier.

Thanks Justin.
The carrier finds all came about quite quickly (well quicker than I originally envisaged). I'll make sure I update the progress of the restoration when it starts.

Congratulations
you look to have at least one or two very good beginnings for restoration
It suprises me that there are still unrecovered carriers around in various states of being
Look forward to seeing their progress

Thanks for the comments. We plan to get started on the restoration early in the new year and will use the fantastic restoration projects posted elsewhere on this forum as inspiration. I'll try and post as many pictures and details as we go.
Ian
