What a fantastic story and history-all the way to today, having her run again. Machinery transforms! I noted the track trailer-second photo of the post. Any story on that? Looks like a single axle. The gentleman was certainly proud of the machine considering the photos he took and kept, while working.

Anyway, nicely done Markds3-thank you for making the effort to get the d2 rolling coal again and posting the photos and story behind it.

Keep safe-

Thanks Bernie, the tracks on that trailer are adapted from a WW2 Bren Gun carrier. the trailer and its tracks are actually still in the back of one of the sheds on the farm! I understand it was built to help with flotation on the boggy low lying flats.
