I need to be more clear. The pics I can't credit are the ones of the modified carriers.
My father found the gear box many years ago, he says it came off of an "old army truck" and from his discription it was for the front drive shaft on a four wheel drive truck. He thinks it will do fine. Now he just needs to dig it out. No pics of it. I looked at the other post and it is from the same set I looked through. I noticed the bogies/ spring suspension are different on the old photo when compared to the new restored one. That is where I was unsure of the exact model. The restored one seems to have the more "modern" type similar to the universal/ T16 carriers. Last edited by Jon Bradshaw; 27-10-12 at 01:29.

Can anyone ID the modified carrier?
As you can see in the thread above, I am going to try to modify a T16 to be a Dutchman and the carrier/ Panzer 1 above is a great example of what I need to do. Anyone know whose it is? Have more pics? I was told it was possibly John Dallimore's but can't confirm it.

Horsepower
Does anyone know what size engine would have been in the Dutchman/Vickers tanks? I have seen a picture of the engine but nothing to say what horsepower it has. I know the universal carriers/T16s had between an 80 and 90hp engine. I would think the Dutchman would have needed about 120hp or bigger engine?
I saw in another post on the subject some info on the meadows engines, being 6cyl and 88-90hp. That sounds weak to me for the weight. I know the transmission does a lot of the work changing HP to torque so I guess it wasn't as fast as a carrier? I thought it would probably have done 60kmh like a carrier/T16?
