Hhmmm. Buy the feeder motors and then build a searchlight around them.

But then I'd have to find the generator. And then the control unit. And then the two cable carts. And then the cables...

And the CCKWs to transport the searchlight and tow the trailer!

Rats! The little bits would fit in the garage just fine. Hadn't thought of the tractor however.

Actually, I am not even sure what the wartime Canadian Army even used as 60" inch Searchlight Tractors here on the home front. I think one RCA Searchlight group served in South England during the early war but used Matadors there. Don't know if any Matadors made it to this side of the pond. Maybe we used FWD's or larger CMP's as Searchlight Tractors over here.
