Loyd TT Carrier

Post by enginepeter »

Coming to the end of my Crusader Gun Tractor (photos to be posted later) I am thinking about my next project.

Getting fed up with breaking 0.5mm drill bits I am thinking about 1/6 scale and a Loyd TT and 6pdr gun in metal.

I know the original track links are 10.5 inch wide with 7/16 pins. Does anyone know th pitch of the tracks. All I have found is for the T16 at 1.75 inch but these are different.

Also what book is regarded as the best reference with plans and plenty of facts.

many thanks

Peter

Hi Peter, George Barnes has built a brilliant 1/6 Loyd carrier and we used King tiger tracks which worked really well, do a search for Loyd carrier and you'll find the build thread.
