    I'm trying to find out a little information on LCT 909 on the 26-7-44, I have hopefully attached some photos of it which show the unloading of a couple of Andrew Barclay Diesel Locomotives at Courseulles. The first loco unloaded being 32 which is reputed as being the first loco put onto French Rails after D Day, by the numbering I would guess it is a LCT MKIV but that's about where I tap out knowledge wise.

    What I'm ideally looking for is -
    Where did it set off from?
    Can anyone identify the Dozer or the Tracked Trailer?
    Does anyone know of any plans for a LCT MKIV?

    I have a couple of kits of the locomotive and would love be to able to remake this scene in 1.76 scale.
