FV1604A Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hi guys, Forty year enthusiast. sorry, will do my introductions later. Anybody, any ideas, where I start looking for a FV3005 (or similar) Sankey/Crane Semi-Trailer ( Dinky Toys example) to hook onto the fifth wheel of a Thornycroft Antar mark 2 Any leads would be appreciated. Will tell you the story later! regards , Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 a Hydraulic pump , and a ammo container Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarmike Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hydraulic power pack, (yellow) sits bolted across rear ramps. (which were also decked over with wooden planking.) On the front of the trailer is a Side valve petrol air compressor. Capable of producing air at 400 PSI, the tubular chassis forms the Air Reciever. I can only guess with that many tyres the Air compressor serviced the trailer. It was fitted (badly) to the trailer with steel wire and turnbuckles, and didn't look as if it had been off for many a year....Why that pressure was needed I can't say, I suppose it is a case of what ever you can cadge on the Airfield is what you end up using.

I think you might stand a better chance looking on the continent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FV1604A Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Thanks Mike, Had e-mailed v.d's, but had no reply yet. Just checking to see if someone may have had one sitting in a yard somewhere. Thanks again, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuceman Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Aha, an early Gestetner duplicating machine and its trailer...... that would account for why the one at my junior school never moved from under the stairs in the four years I was there....I didn't realise they were that heavy?
