Centurion train transport

[mick whittingham]

Hi all,

Now my Centurion is moving under its own power my thoughts shift to getting it moving under locomotive power!

The model railway club where I am a member would like to see the Centurion on a train transporter being dragged round their circuit as an attraction.

They can help me with building the basics of rolling stock but does anyone have any photo's of a suitable train transporter which may have been used with the centurion.

May be a case of using a road trailer design and making it fit rolling stock.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted,

Regards, Mick

Mick, if you can send me your email, I'll put you in contact with a contact of mine who has photos of the design sent to Australia when they were thinking of transporting Centurions by train. Regards. Stephen

So Denny, how did you transport the horses and hay, not to mention the champagne for the officers? You did mention old cavalry style didn't you? Stephen

Just posted a message on my thread showing the Cent up at our model railway, thanks fr the many pieces of advice and information. I will be looking into a train transporter for the Cent so it can trundle round our layout in style.
