Kuno Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Would like to forward the question of a colleague who intends to build an 1:6 Model of above vehicle... Where could one find the exact measurements? Is there even a survivor of this rare type of vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Yes, The Royal Corp of Signals musuem at Blanford Dorset have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuno Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Exactly this: Many thanks, Tony B. Thought first about having seen one at Duxgord some years ago - but now I recall that this was "Monthy's Caravan". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 There is one at Duxford and also one or two in Australia. I believe there is also one still in a scrap yard in Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuno Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Great. Allthough my colleague lives in US - there is now a good chance to get the measurements to scratch-build this model! Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooky Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Exactly this: Many thanks, Tony B.

Tony B Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I thought only a dozen or so were built in total. Looks like a high percentage have survived then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 A lot more than a dozen were built. There was a very good article on the 4X4 and 6x6 version in Wheels and Tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Were they only command vehicles? Or did they get used for other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Harry Pounds where did this one go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 There used to be one behind the long gone junk shop on the Bell roundabout on the old A13 junction with the A176 in what was then the Peoples Nuclear Free Republic of Basildon.

Phil P Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I believe that the Tank Museum have one and that is the one that was at Jacksons. I saw it 30 years at Bawtry. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 The 6X6 version pictured was originally at Pounds Scrap Yard. It was then loaned to Bovington and is now either back with Pounds or sold to Rex Cadman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian2b Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Harry Pounds where did this one go? You are correct REME 245 It is in Kent and is looking very sorry for its self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 What a waste!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: Can nothing be done to salvage it????? Make him an offer he can't refuse :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julezee001 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Any idea how much such an offer should be bearing in mind the recent crash in scrap prices?? It's a shame the axles for it are now seem to be incorrectly mounted on the roof. Looks like a great project though, although not many around as a guide to rebuilding. Anyone have a spare workshop manual?? Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 It's a shame the axles for it are now seem to be incorrectly mounted on the roof. Jules, The leading rear axle is still fitted, you can see the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) the middle axle is in place as you can see a bit of the mid axle tire in post # 22 so chances are the all the axles are in place and those on top have nothing to do with the vehicle .
