Dear All, Some time ago "Series2joe" said that he had a CN6 Compressor set for disposal. Does anyone know what happened there? The reason is that I need a big compressor for shotblasting parts of the Conqueror ARV, the Antar and the "Big" trailer at Bordon. By a "big" compressorI mean at least 250 Cubic feet per minute, ie at least a four tool machine. A classic CN6 compressor or similar would be great. Perhaps one that needs attention? It could be skid mounted. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful! John Attlee

Dear All, The longer wheelbase of the Amazon enables it to steer properley when the rear bogie is fully loaded. On RPM for a Rolls, I never let one exceed 2200 RPM. I was advised by Rolls at Shrewsbury that you will be doing permanent damage by exceeding 2400 RPM. This damage does not necessarily manifest itself immediately! John Attlee

Ian, Have you solved this problem? John

Hello everyone. This is Maj John Attlee from the REME Museum. My own fleet consists of the Scammell Contractor HBB775W and the Crane Fruehauf Low-loading, driop-frame, girder trailer. Niether of them is actually ex-military but they are very good for transporting the Museum's Conqueror ARV. My other vehicle is a MkII Antar TMU371Y. It is now completely in bit with no two bits of the chassis bolted together. The main assemblies will not need to be dismantled however. My main preservation activity is to get the Conqueror ARV fully operational with the same for the transporter. John
