cordenj Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hans, Two more good finds. INteresting that one has had replacement wheels; also like the cast brass (?) dataplate. Most of those I have seen are stamped brass or just stamped steel. Look forward to seeing the restoration progress. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Great find, it's also fun to recognize the location where the photo's were taken! Go there too every now and then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austintilly Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 The amount of these trailers in Holland is increasing rapidly. Good work... look forward to see some pictures of the restoration ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans prijs Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 pickt the chassis up today at the sandblaster and they are like nwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Lawrence Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The data plate is interesting as it is for an earlier contract (23/2487) to my mortar trailer (23/4302) but both are Orme Evans and obviously they were not saving materials yet i.e. using cast brass instead of thin steel. I cannot make out the chassis number from the photo or if the panels on the second line have been stamped. I would suggest that one of the trailers has been re-planked at some time as they are both definitely GS No.2 trailers, not mortar trailers (mudguards are the giveaway). Given the number of trailers found in Holland it is almost as though we exported them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
