i'm doing a loyd too, well sort of, i bought a fordson 7v chassis to start it off and with a little help from alastair
 i might get there in the distant future i've also heard of a loyd on a hillside in a dark and distant land infested with heathen tribes (scotland) which i'll get up to see in springtime, i've also just found some wheels and track for it aswell so i might start it this year but we'll have to wait and see.eddy

Great work, How does the drive work with sprockets on both ends. Is one end free wheeling. Having a set of brakes each end would make turning very easy if they are adjusted correctly.
Keep up the good work. Colin.

Essentially the Loyd is a truck chassis reversed. The front axle drives, the rear axle is braked, but does not drive. All four hubs are braked by cable. They have the enclosed driveshaft as per the older Thames traders, Cost cutters etc. (if you had them in Aussie)

Canadian Loyd ???
Guy’s i have another mystery.
Got some photos of a Canadian workshop and they show a loyd, but not the loyd carrier build in Britain. It seems a canadian prototype based on the loyd but much better and stronger. ?????????????
