Thanks for that Gordon, where abouts in Scotland are you from ? aolt of my family live in Perth, and My grandfathers regiment were based in Stirling before shipping out.

More pictures of your carrier please. it looks like its come on leaps !!
Is she up and running yet?
Where about are you in the UK?

I'm not sure now how may carriers still exist in the UK ? I quess Nigel can tell us. But its about time we organised a Carrier meet.

Lets all get together.

The record stands at I think 4 together in 2005 at W & P
( 3 x U C's + 1 x LP2 )
(There was another carrier at the show but never made it into the arena)

Should now be easy to break.

Myself and the Dodge collection are based in Falkirk, though I work in Aberdeen most of the time.

Good luck with the shipping.

Hi Richard
I meant to drop you the contact of the shipping company I used, but it seems you already have it from Gordon. I also used Kingstown shipping, just down the road in Hull. Exceptional service, the final bill including onward shipping from southampton was around £2k from Toronto.

Kind regards

Thanks Nick, how you getting on with yours ?

To be honest we are not really making much progress, I seem to be working all the time! Any time we do manage to put in is spent keeping the C8As serviced and running, We ahd a few calamaties last year and that slowed us down a bit, my latest problem is that our youngest has descovered the Jeep in the shed,so theres another problem to resolve!, but we'll get around to it in time. I am currently working in getting it mechanically complete the engine and transmission arrived as a bunch of gravel dropped in the back of the carrier, following that the biggest headache is the stering selector which is very badly corroded, possibly because it sits below the battery tray, otherwise it seems quite sound.
