DaiBuckler Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Good evening gentlefolk of the HMVF I've a request for little assistance if possible. I'm former REME VM with a few hobbies, one is scale model making (1:35) and I'm working on getting a fleet of models of the kit I worked on or with during my service and also those that REME have used over the course of time. At the moment I'm looking for the dimensions of the 2 Whld 10 and 20Qwt Trl from WWII and also the 1T 2 whl trailer ( Brockhouse / Rubery Owen?), also the 4 Wheeled versions of the Brockhouse / Rubery Owen versions used as office / binner trailers and as the 27KVA flat bed version. Dimensions of wheel base and draw bar angles would be great as well as any pictures that might be usable for taking dimensions to scale down.

DaiBuckler Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Many thanks Bill Again very much appreciated. If you've anything on the 20QWT that's also be super. I've got some infor on more recent trailers but they tend to be amongst the forgotten detail by the model kit suppliers.
