Thanks, I will contact him. Still be good to have a thread on Caunter pattern carriers, so if anyone has any they can post that would be great!.
It's also worth noting from the pics i have posted that the guys back then were not to bothered which way round they put the tracks on. Would these all be British built carriers in Caunter?. No Canadian??. kev.

I've not checked "T" numbers so I can't be sure but they seem to have the pawl spring type front idlers which would make them very early universals. I believe this to be more common on early British carriers than the Canadian ones.
Kevin I know one of you hulls has this type of idler, and it's Canadian. Easiest way would be to check the dates I guess? when did caunter stop being used? if your carrier is after that date then it wouldn't be that colour! If you just want to paint it caunter to represent that type, who cares? it's your carrier paint it as you like........(SAS pink anyone?) Ben

Ben, I think they discontinued it in 1942 but I probably will be corrected, The ex buried carrier is 1941, I will put the 1940 pawl spring carrier in the sand colour in Mike's book, forget the correct name for the colour, You got any caunter pics?., I am hoping to go to Malvern, possibly drop in with your wheel and take a look at the Scout carrier?.
kevin.
