Well done, the waitings over, you look like you are going to be busy with that carrier, best thing is start to preserve what you have, drop the rear boggies refurbish them like new, strip the chassis, put on a couple of castor wheels on the front, put your rear boggies back on and wheel it down to be shot blasted, zinc prime it and begin the restoration.
that way your not looking at a lot of rust everytime you walk in the garage and it wont degrade further.
will send you an e-mail shortly, whats happening in september?.
well done rich, will try and get more details on that other carrier for you.
cheers kev.
