Carrier recovery with a difference

[Ian Patrick]

Hello Lionel,
A small amount of progress has been made on the carrier, mostly sourcing missing parts and refurbishing numerous bits and pieces.

The identity of the carrier has been comfirmed as serial number 3066 made by Victorian Railways.

The missing front armour has been sourced from another carrier wreck and is intended to be welded in place in the near future. I'll ask the owner for some current photographs and post them up (The photo of the carrier attached was shortly after it was recovered). The running gear has been sourced from another carrier (No. 3411 attached photo) that had been converted to a Worths Tractor so had all of its armour removed and was beyond restoration itself.

Regards,
Ian

G'day Ian,

Thanks for the update on the floating carrier. Did the youtube clip get uploaded? All the best for 2012.

Kind Regards
