C60X Machinery bodies..Manuals of equipment? surviving "complete" examples?

[Alex van de Wetering]

Thanks for the responces, guys.

@ Noel. Very interesting. Indeed, It would be great to see some more "proof" of the descriptions of Mr. Lacey, but this is already a good start. Do the drawings and description also cover the other Machinery and Stores types?

@ Phil
Indeed, some CMP Machinery bodies have been covered on the forum before, but If I remember correctly, most were of the "Open" body type...the GS ones and not the ones using the Lindsey bodies......But, I will double check to be sure. The one I am after is the big boxy body as fitted to the C60X 6x6 as seen in Dave's post. The truck at Borden is very sweet and surely on my wish list when it comes to scale models; your pictures are very helpfull for that project and I also have some pics of the same truck from Keith's website and from a fellow modeller.

@ Dave
That's indeed the Gregg Publication I was referring to. It gives a nice list of the different models produced, but for my project I am looking for more detailed info. The top view and picture of the "L" type is basically what I am looking for for the C and D body types as well. Just as Neil wrote....it seems Dr. Gregg made a small mistake in the description of the body type, though.

I presume every different body had a separate manual, just like with the Diamond manual I have here. But....I guess those manuals are not very common to say the least.
