Lovely restoration

Looking for some track guides as in the photos if anyone has any leads also looking for the ramp supports as in the last photo.

That’s great thank you for your help Adrian.

Thank you Adrian for the info, would this also have had a blade fitted as this is missing now?

Looking for any information on a caterpillar 7J3261WSP, does show signs of military paint, if anyone can help with dating etc.

I would be interested in these do you have any other 2 pndr parts?

I know i have put this up before but thought would give another try. I’m looking for any parts related to the Scammell pioneer tank transporter trailer TRCU, any condition even if only any good for a pattern . I have found some parts that I have added a few photos of, and I have also added some screen shots of the pathé training film that show some of the other parts I’m trying to source. I still believe there must be a trailer out there somewhere.

Have you tried Dave Crouch military sales?

Hello serge just came across this post, did this truck get saved?

Afternoon Simon I have the bracket for the fan.

I’ll have a look.

Photos of the fan, let me know if any good.

No problem I will take a photo tomorrow. Great trucks to work on, my sv2s were sat in a field for 20 odd years and most of the nuts and bolts still came undone easily unlike a lot of modern stuff. Only thing I had to do was invest in a forklift.

Evening Simon I managed to get a photo though a bit rustier than I remembered, I think it will clean up ok.

The winch is looking good I went through the same pains about two months ago and now on to wood work for the back. I still have the rear axle to free up and sort but keep putting it off. i have a complete fan though will probably need the bearings replaced and your right I didn’t venture out for photos today will try tomorrow.

Evening Simon I will have a look tomorrow, I’m sure I have a spare fan but will check. I do have the rollers for the winch I will take some photos tomorrow so you can see the condition.

I have 5 pioneers in various states one of which is a past repair rolling chassis so have been using it for parts, most of the parts I have are from the chassis rather than cab parts. I’m near Southampton so not to far from you I think. your welcome to the roller I’ll have a look if there is a loose one if not I can take one off. Neil

Evening Simon just seen your post and If you still need these parts I think I have what you need?

That’s spot on thank you Richard, I have a drivers seat frame that is usable but no passenger frame, the pulley needed is the one the cable runs over at the top of the sliding jib. Many thanks

Great stuff, thank you.

Evening all has any one got any photos and dimensions of the first aid locker and the locker below in the pioneer cab. also looking for the cable pulley wheel from the end of the sliding jib and a passenger seat frame.

I have the top part of the fifth wheel that is sat on flat plates that works well with the swan neck but missing the bottom dish shaped plate and the rubber discs that bolt to the chassis. I have emailed thunder models to see what info or drawings they have or at least how accurate they are but whether they will be willing to give out information I’m unsure, so here’s hoping

Thank you for the drawing, hoping that the more information I can get the more correct I can get it.

Yes, came from Romsey and was called Snow White, had been sat up for some time thought inside so still in nice condition other than the dust! I drove it the 10 miles home with no dramas other than the wipers not working.

Thank you for the input, I have a scale drawing of the tractor and trailer together but it doesn’t show the more detailed individual parts and how they are connected, I have sourced a pair of axles which is probably the only part that couldn’t be replicated but the hope of finding any other major parts is pretty slim, I have had many conversations with people that remember cutting them up in the past hills of botley cut a few up which is a real shame. I have a Scammell swan neck four in line trailer that Tom Osborne adapted to go behind, it looks the part but want to look at the possibilities of making a replica.
