Not sure Dennis but it does look like garnet from the texture and colour.

Damned awkward way to find lost keys!

no its one of those "space carrier" training simulators you cant see the wind along scene which Tom uses out of black sheet with loads of timy holes in

it is a cool bit of kit to be fair i have been wondering how i will get under mine (when i get one)

Hell of a way to empty the ash tray!

I built a similar manual one for use with my M38 tube during rebuild. Makes painting a breeze.

Hi Tommy,
Thanks for the pics of your friends rotisserie, I thought that you and some of our carrier members would like to see how the work was done at newport workshops on the Vic rail carriers all those years ago,seems a little primative by todays standards,
Regards Ron

Notice the wooden floor, nice to do all of that welding on

Just another pic of the jig they used

Thanks for posting these old pix Ron. Very interesting.

Am I correct in assuming that the front half of a carrier is built separate to the rear and joined at a later stage in the construction process or could this be a trial/test rig?

Tommy you should put your first pic in the "In the background " thread.
