Rootes75 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Yes, A lot of vehicles and aircraft were shipped over to the Russians. I have some nice photos of wartime Commers being used by the Russians. https://www.historynet.com/did-russia-really-go-it-alone-how-lend-lease-helped-the-soviets-defeat-the-germans.htm Edited June 16, 2021 by Rootes75 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edd Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 On 6/15/2021 at 6:07 PM, t16s said: I'm trying to get the dimensions of the chain locker stowage bin beneath the driver's door on the Scammell TT. I need the overall width, the height and the depth back to front. The thickness of the sides and bottom and how far it is back to the chassis at the side. The final key measurement is how far forward of the cab front it projects towards the front mudguard. This is to complete a 3D model of the tank transporter and so I can 3D print a scale version I'd be very grateful to any member who can supply me with these details thanks. Stuart Stuart, A few photos of the track basket on my R100 attached. Dimensions (all in cm): Overall width (along the vehicle): 158cm outside, 152cm inside the basket Height: 55cm including 3cm rib below the floor. 45.5cm at the front (after it curves down) Depth (outer towards chassis): 62cm + 2cm thickness of the mesh section Inside of basket to chassis: 23cm Front of cab to front basket: 33cm The sheet metal is all about 2mm thick and the ribs are about 3cm thick.

t16s Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Many thanks Ed that is really very useful and I'll now try and build a 3D model and then print off a sample bin. Stuart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need any particular dimensions or photos let me know. I've got a large collection of photos and can always get more dimensions off of mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels v Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I have been playing around with and online 3d drawing site, converting some of my old drawings of Scammell cab fittings to a digital. and have also included the T towing pole, its still a work in progress, but quite fun to do. the drawing can be viewed on the link below.
