I was at Newby hall tractor fest ... But had seen a trailer on the Newby estate farm which I did not recognise at the time and thought it might be this one ...
You seem to have a very good eye for finding old military trailers

Helle Andrew,
This is brilliant!!
These pictures are of great help.
Also a picture of the complete set up would be great.
Do you know if the pale bleu color on the part in the last picture is original?
Thanks soo much for these.
All the best
Leon

Zwicky made the pumps n the engines were Lister A's. Will do pics prob this Sunday then if u want detail of a certain item then let me know as one pump is in primered bits to resemble.

Hello Andrew,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I am looking for pictures of the pump.
I have since found a u-tube film with this trailer where the pump can be seen working, but I would like to have some more details of the pump and of the parts between the flywheels.
Hope you can help.
Thanks in advance and all the best
Leon

Hi havnt been on here for a while but just seen ur post re the trailer,it is a brockhouse trailer with torsion bar suspension,us that the remains if the fuel tank with front n rear cabinets? I've one myself waiting restoration but always interesting to see any others that exist,what has happened to it since your post?

Acquired this E type bomb trolley awhile ago it was converted for use by local council as a roadworks trailer complete with "elephant hut" which was made in their own workshops I'm assuming with ex shelter sections which are thick gauge n still sound, I've dismantled the hut to aid moving due to its weight,it would make a good shepherds hut or living van? The trolley looks complete & is in good condition due to having the hut on it,this is one of a pair that were purchased by the farm,this one has been in the field since 1973.
