Carrier 'Rotisserie'

Hell of a way to empty the ash tray!

I built a similar manual one for use with my M38 tube during rebuild. Makes painting a breeze.

Hi Tommy,
Thanks for the pics of your friends rotisserie, I thought that you and some of our carrier members would like to see how the work was done at newport workshops on the Vic rail carriers all those years ago,seems a little primative by todays standards,
Regards Ron

Notice the wooden floor, nice to do all of that welding on

Just another pic of the jig they used

Thanks for posting these old pix Ron. Very interesting.

Am I correct in assuming that the front half of a carrier is built separate to the rear and joined at a later stage in the construction process or could this be a trial/test rig?

Tommy you should put your first pic in the "In the background " thread.

Hi Tommy,
Yes you are correct, they built them in two seperate pieces then joined them together at a later stage, I have soime more pics and will dig them out to show, if they are of interest, Regards Ron
