Tiny Tim generator

[Rob Beale]

A friend sent me this link recently which gives a good description of the ZC1. (It seems similar to the Royal Sigs site's treatment of the No19.)

I see similarities to the CMP and British Radio Boxes described recently on MLU, but with some simplifications I think, on the local pattern product.

I don't yet know if the vehicles were used in Guadalcanal and the Solomons campaign, but am sure they went to Korea with the Artillery. The ZC1 MkI radio set was used operationally in the Solomons

Mine is a replica built many years ago, and I got it to complete the set of NZ C8AX variants: the Ambulance, Radio Shack and GS versions! I identify with your earlier comment about wanting the full set!!!

As far as the generator set goes, I will use the Iron Horse model, and spray it green, until I find an original unit. I will screw it down to the deck, assuming the locker door is left open when running.

And again, thanks for your helpful advice David
