george Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Can anyone help with supplying details of the meadows engine used for the Vickers Light Tank MkVI. I really need out of vehicle / restoration photo's, that show the block. I would like if possible, any views of the drive /gearbox set up too. I have a series of internal plans, some of which show a ghosted outline of the engine, but nothing definate. Anything from a handbook at all. Thanks in advance. The reason I ask, visit my website, www.mooresmilitarymodels.co.uk and check out the work in progress section. George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Yes, I saw that too. My hopes were up when I first saw it and have cropped and enlarged it to no no real advantage. So far I do have a coss section of the earlier Meadows fitted to the Dragon series (Light Dragon MkII). I have contacted a well known restorer in the UK that totally rebuilt a MkVI, which I believe was shipped to the states, but no help there. I was contacted by the new owner of the hulk referred to in the MLU site, he has promised photos, despite a reminder, nothing for ages. Surely there must be a manual somewhere, or a decent lube chart. The only stuff I have are "ghosted" outlines on a GA drawing. Going by experience, everything I could ever want will turn up AFTER the model is completed. The more I see the less I know. George.
