DynaMike ◊ 2016-07-27 15:04	I think that's it
dsl ◊ 2016-07-27 15:11	Local assembly??
DynaMike ◊ 2016-07-27 16:38	Most probably, yes. Not sure what name we used, though...
ElSaxo ◊ 2016-07-27 16:49	The scene in the picture looks similar to http://webmshare.com/d1GML

I've often wondered same question about small UK van naming in Europe. 5cwt = (5x112)lbs = 560lbs = 233.33kgs. Would ¼ ton or ¼ tonne have been used?? But similar Thames 7cwt = 326.66kgs so more difficult to express cleanly.

dsl ◊ 2016-07-27 21:35	Interesting - suggests that one is closer to 7cwt than 5cwt. We have 11 assorted [301E]s to ponder what to do with.
