Hi Rick,
Unfortunately no.
Another bill in the mail today (this one for $1700) has officially sunk my battleship.

Your welcome will be good one day Rick, one day.

Hi Ryan,
sorry to hear that you have had to call off your trip, on the subject of the other bits wheels etc, I received a phone cal from the agent who was handling the sale ,a couple of weeks ago but it was not worth the drive for me, keep looking you will find one, but dont rush in a and buy a dog, there is an awful lot of work in some of them, better to get a good hull if you can,you can then see the light at the end of the tunnel, I have been there and done that, this comment is based on 40 years of playing with these toys and is only said in the best of interest,
Good luck Best regards Ron

Built a trailer for my carrier that worked well, until it was caught in the warehouse fire! Had a wee unloading mishap with it and was nearly testing my carriers waterproofing! There was a 4ft fall to the right and a further 4ft to a small river.
Trailer was really good and you could stand on the mudguards to tarp the carrier and a real timesaver was to just connect it to a front winch to hold her in, chock the tracks and you were away.
Alas no more as you can see.

I love the Australian drive on carrier trailer with the hinged towing bar, brilliant, want one anyone?

Hello All,

It is a Vic Rail carrier, Hull no. 216.
