Default Still they come out of the woodwork

Picked this up last week. 45degrees in the shade, only there wasn't any shade.

Built in the Victorian Railways Newport Workshops. 1942 No.2250

Was purchased aftere the war by a gliding club who removes the radiator, engine, gearbox and diff to use as a winch for the gliders.
The rest is very complete with the air cleaner covers still in the back. The origonal horn button is in situ. Ammo box holders are mostly there, and the tracks as well.

So we need an engine, gearbox, diff and gearbox linkage bits. Fuel tanks are missing and so is the horn.(and lots of other little bits.)

It's mate, the owner wants to do one day.

Well done Rick. Manufactured under contract MOV.1145. What is the Hull Number of the other one?

Bob
