Allied Cargo Trailers?

Hello Guys

Just finishing up my 7th armoured division Villers-Bocage stuff.

I need some trailers for my British 6pdr platoon.

The correct trailer is the 10 cwt G.S. trailer ( is that a 1/4 ton or 1/2 ton?).

This is the 4.2" mortar version.

My question is this the trailer in Us11 Jeep pack

Or the much bigger trailer in US58 Cargo Trailers

Strange question, but I know someone here will be able to help?

Thanks Chris.

Since a cwt = 112 lbs, what you're looking for is a 1/2 ton trailer. The large trailer in US58 is at least a 1 ton. The small trailer in the jeep pack looks like a close match in size to the one in your photo (I put one of mine next to a bren carrier and it looks about right). Hope this helps.

regards

Steve

Cool
Thanks all makes sense.
As a metric person I had no idea what a CWT was.
