Mike, Nice pictures! I am having trouble with the logic of a tracked trailer towed by a wheeled truck. I bet this last one was not very cost effective. Look at all that old world (over) engineering.

Mike , I believe that there will be one of those 2 wheeled Carrier carrying trailers at Corowa this year. Hopefully with a carrier on board.

Regards Rick

Default Trailers

Mmmmm,
Now I thought they were the 7 1/2 ton, especially the desert shots...with the standard pattern tyres for desert use.

I have drawings of the trailer (ex REME).

One question as yet unanswered, the rear bogie is linked...I thought the rear wheels would act independantly, but the link locks them in place. Any reason ????

I hope the following will create some interest......Thanks to Les Freathy for some of the info.

George.

I had/have? some of the wooden chocks with the steel handle and the lock bolts as pictured on the deck of the 7-1/2 ton trailer in picture 4 kicking about the place. I seem to remember they came in a bundle of four.
