Default Another Find T80889 by Sentinel Wagon

T80889 by Sentinel Wagon, form Contract T2249, one of 1400 MkI 3" Mortar Carriers. I recently acquired it from the North Island in quite remarkably and complete condition. Just a side note, I remember some discussion that Sentinel Wagon used cast main bogie suspension, marked (Not For Tanks) this carrier seems more proof of this.
