1942 R&H Type: PT

Hi All,
Here's my recently purchased Ruston PT.

Thanks to Ray Hooley who confirmed that it was sold (though not necessarily manufactured) on the 19th. January 1942 to the dealer, G. Sanders, Plympton. Devon.
It came from an E-bay trader near Salisbury (Mattehodge-0), so it's possible that it hasn't travelled far in eighty two years.




Been repainted a few times so it'll get a good strip clean and overhaul. Then a repaint.
As a wartime engine it could very well have been painted WD grey. But I shall assume that it was supplied "old stock" and stick to the Bullock Maroon (where did they get that name from)?

Stay tuned for further exciting updates...

Mike.

P.S. Does anyone have pictures of the original layout of any decals applied to the engine/ tank.

My wartime PB doesn't have a transfer on the tank.
