  8. Yes there is one at Southampton but its not in use now the person who owns it has offered it to the local MVT but its a bit of a big project so i don't think their to interested and all so the logistics of moving it:undecided:
  9. yes it is I thought that too it also only had front brakes did you see his other trailer that was quite interesting its got stabilizers and and also a bracket type of clamp that either held a wind sock or Arial. as for the axle i can adjust that what trailer did you think Brock House?:red:
  10. well done Alistair Well done good progress as you say starting to look like a loyd now cant wait to see it finished Richard:-)
  11. Ok Thanks I have actually brought the trailer now. I'm certain its a Brock house or Eagle It might have had the axle changed even though it has the 10.50 wheels interestingly there is another one there with front braking wheels the chassis is a bit longer about 18ft it has rear stabilisers and a clamp which could have held a wind sock or areal the front tow bar has a spring braking system on the tow hitch ill try to put photos on Thanks:)
  12. Hi I have seen what i think is an old Brock house 4 wheel trailer on springs but the photos only show it as having front brake hubs the rear axle has no brake hubs the axles and chassie all look original it is a flat bed but might of had a tanker on it at some stage. is this normal or has some one taken them off. Thanks:)
  13. Hi Yes there is an overlord show this year the may bank holiday I've already got my entry forms. its on line make sure you go to the 2016 site:-)

Yes That was my Loyd carrier I brought of Paul Visser in holland he was meeting me at Dunkirk at the museum we unloaded it put it on my lorry now safely back in the uk first show of the year will be overlord at Denmead Hampshire will be there with my Leyland hippo. Looking for a Brock house trailer to put it on any one got one for sale?
  16. Yes that sounds about right but I dont go and pick the loyd up until the end of February so could measure the drums then thanks Richard:-)
  17. Im not sure of year but Paul said 1942 and I know the badges say Mk1 but all the forge markings on the the rollers do say 1942 and he assures me that there original and i have no reason to dout him but I have the workshop Manuel and some other paper work back at Southampton I am going back down tomorrow so ill have a look and get back to you. I had a look at your face book page very good your doing a great job keep it up :-)
  18. Alastair Interesting so if I got this right it was built as a Mk1 but the brakes were up graded to mk11 spec which I presume that all mk1 were called back for this up grade!? Richard:-\
  19. So I saw i was being a bit thick there sorry :nut: I it possible that i can look at them or get some more pictures? :-) I come from Southampton but live in Buckinghamshire on the Bedford Border at wkends
  20. I actually got hold of DVLA and DGSA and I have an e-mail back saying that if rollers have rubber around them and it has suspension then it can go on the road max 20mph if no suspension or rubber around the rollers then 5mph.and as the carriers have this its ok to go on the road. I wanted to make sure so got it in writing.not that you would drive far on the road. as for that 6 punder I am interested I did phone and e-mail but I have had no reply:undecided: where is it in the country ? could any one help?
  21. Yes would like a Brock house trailer it would go nicely as a combination. ive also seen two 6 pounders on mill-web dose any body know any thing about them I could be interested but seem a bit expensive in unrestord condition not sure?:undecided: any how looking forward to driving the loyd and some shows thinking of Over lord in Denmead in May.

  24. Hi I wonder if any body can help? im thinking of getting a loyd carrier which is on steel track's Ive seen them on the road but when i spoke to the DVLA the guy said you can't put them the road, but I have seen in the dvla web site you can but only drive up to 20mph and the track has to be a min of 12.5mm wide and the weight spread over 2.5cubic m square of the tracks. but I dont know any one who has done this I also know about the H Licence thats the easy bit any help please!
