radiomike7 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The Wynns trailer is a Cranes 200 tonner but fitted with girders made by Fairfields of Chepstow normally used for loco and railway work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The second one looks like a RE 35 ton 8tw with a 10 ton tilt bed recovery in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan turner (RIP) Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Radiomike is correct with the Wynns description this image has gone to John Wynn via Pat Ware after their joint series in Classic Commercials, it is taken about 1953 in Woolwich Arsenal and is loading a a railway gun chassis presumably for scrapping. john wynn confirms the drag is the biggest they had and had been used to take the steam engine to the festival of Britain in 1951. The rest I had no idea what they are so thanks all for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, the 110 ton loco was taken to the Festival of Britain site using the same girders but with solid tyred bogies, the gun is being moved with the bogies and swan necks from the 200 ton trailer. Diamond T on the front and a Pacific pushing on it's first time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Here's another picture of a surviving Queen Mary trailer: http://marksmiltaryvehicles.fotopic.net/p58607366.html Not sure what those wings are, but they sure must suffer from being outside. The trailer as well, come to think of it. Hanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trailer as well, come to think of it. Hanno Most of the external exhibits at Eden Camp are in my opinion bes described as weathered. Their Explorer is in my opinion a disgrace and most of the rest is rusting away fast. I saw the Queen Mary, and yes that is rusting away too.

les freathy Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Any ideas, obviously a genny and powered by a V8 but the trailer has a American feel about it then again the background looks to be very British so what make of machine are we looking at here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woa2 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Now thats interesting Robert as to look at it it shows none of the usual characteristics of a mobile weldercheers Les Just found the Instruction book. It's an 18kw Mobile Alternator model 30CP, manufactured by H.E.Nunn in Manchester. The book is not dated, so I have no indication of a manufactured date. Also, there are no Military references in the book, so I presume the alternator is Civilian, but it is suited for a WD towing hitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan turner (RIP) Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Les your scale drawings were of this, not only used for the 18 pdr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May1940 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Alan Your pictures of the limber and gun are excellent - is there any way I can obtain full size copies? In fact I understand this is the No. 26 Mk 1 limber specifically for the 4.5 inch howitzer. There are occasional shots of it with the BEF, including on Pathe news clips. I attach a low res scan, I think from a kit instruction leaflet, to show the different shape. Les's plan is of a No. 26 Limber which seems to have been the pre-war limber for the 18/25 pounders. (I have yet to see a single picture of such a limber with the BEF.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May1940 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Alan Not a very good first post there - I meant to say that Les's plan was of a No.24 limber of pre-war vintage. See picture here. And I forgot to sign -off! Regards Andrew Foulkes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
