Heavy haulage trailer for traction engine
I would like an early heavy haulage trailer for a traction engine. Something big enough to fit another engine onto, soild wheels would be nice. A much smaller version of the pickfords trailer seen at GDSF. Do many exist? Or is this a futile search?

Hi Ethan,
Yes it would be for Royal Chester. I'm definitely open to suggestions so some photos of different trailers would be welcome. I would like to haul the odd engine to local shows so braking would be essential. I do want it to look period though. Mike. |

The picture below has a nice look to it and sounds perfect for what you would need it for. Fowlers built 2 swan neck trailers for box to haul 12 and 15 ton im sure someone has a picture, i dont think any survived though. You could make your own!

There are a couple in Cornwall that I know of.
One was rumoured for sale last year and would be quite suitable for your needs The other is in a very poor state, but is doable I'm told I presume you are not desperate, I will be seeing someone this weekend and can ask about one of them, I won't be seeing the other person for two or three weeks about the other The biggest problem is the scrap values, you wont get either for less than I will pm you any details, cheers |
