Stuart but what sort of Sankey do you mean?

Anyway this from the AESP for a Penman.

Yes got that now Clive

I meant the standard Sankey narrow track, for the S lll, I am presuming thats whats listed as 357.4Kg as opposed to the much heavier Penman, which of course is much wider ?

Stuart in the FVRDE catalogue a Sankey/Brockhouse 1/2 Ton FV2301(A) is quoted as ULW 199kg, so even lighter still than a Penman!
