A replica of a Carrier, Machine Gun MkV1 (Carden Loyd that myself and a friend have constucted. We had set out to manufacture these as a kit. The Ford Model T engine and front axel would be supplied by the new owner all the rest by us., except of course the Vickers and tripod. There is a second hull, patterns, parts, castings and drawings for anyone that is interested in continuing with the project.

Runflat Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Tim, you may be thinking of his Vickers-Carden-Loyd light tractor or his Renault Chenillette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B, Whippet !!!! err no.......... Bedford Boys, It was built from drawings taken from the original one in the Tank Museum, it is 100% diamentionaly correct.

The Bedford Boys Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 This really is a work of art. I am astonished at the level of workmanship in this machine. Utterly stunning. Were these steered by use of levers? What sort of speed can they travel at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 They were steered by an awful horizontal push pull lever and the speed about 25 mph. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth using the details to contact? Edited November 30, 2019 by Highland_laddie correct typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
