PRE WAR SURVIVORS

Recommended Posts

This is a new thread branching off from the great thread on the Karrier WDS.  Survivors started to be listed within that thread and proved that there was a need for a separate thread of it's own.-

Please list and add a photo of any or all the PRW WAR SURVIVORS you know of from any country world wide.

I'll start it with my 1916 Albion A10 Chassis number 361A which was laid down on 6th December 1915 for completion mid-February 1916.

 

Cheers Rick.

More NZ Leylands in collections.

This Leyland Cub was converted as a rail inspection vehicle in 1934 for use by the General Manager of New Zealand Railways.

It has a jack centrally mounted allowing it to be raised off the track and the vehicle turned around.

Latter the body was covered to a overhead line inspection  format. How it remains today.

A few more complete Leylands in NZ.

A GH2 of 1926 showing the local adaptations. Different front wheels and a hoist for the deck.

Chassis 5950 of 1916 as arrived at home. RAF type. Not complete as per the others, but mechanically all there.

Still looking for a suitable radiator. The correct disc front wheels are now waiting to be placed on.
