  1. Hi Wally, thanks for that, I will get in touch with them. The owners Father bought it back in the 1970's from Ruddington sales, its been in that barn for the best part of 50 years. I will check the numbers.
  2. Probably not many of these left, lucky find. joining our collection next month. anyone got any stories or info on them?
  3. we gave KSJ237W a coat of paint, back to its original (ish) green, think it looks much better.
  4. bit of welding and paint, looks cracking,
  5. just acquired this handy piece of kit, anyone any stories? or anyone know how many are still around?
  6. the side ones that move about have gone, the bottom one you can pick the arrow and it goes, just the top one and a few fixed ones dotted in the chats, much better than it was.
  7. Hi Wally, thanks for those pictures, I'm so pleased to have finally found one of these, especially as my dad who is suffering from dementia was part of the user trials when he was in the Royal Engineers back in the early 1950's, it will hopefully stir some memories. Oh by the way Wally the "Beast" is still with us, got pushed on the back burner as the hydraulic tank rotted a few pin holes in the bottom, we haven't had a chance to get that off and fixed yet.
  8. Yes all to common a story unfortunately, we had a random delivery driver posted pics from our scrap pile without permission a few years ago on face book, i was surprised at the number of people that than posted messages implying it belonged to a hoarder, would never sell anything, had over inflated ideas of value, would rather see them rot, etc etc was quite funny, but i do get why they thought that. little did they know that that row of scrap trucks sacrificed themselves for the sheds full or restored and running trucks, that are in my secret Hoard haha. Now and again I now post bait posts on face book of a nice tuck saying, "about to be cut" wind them up and watch them go! haha
  9. Just managed to find a nice Q4 tipper for the collection, how many of these left now? I can think of 3 including this one.
  10. yeah they aren't even things people on this site would buy, like spanners or gaskets! right now I have one for Fisker, On Logic computers magnitude finance and hawk classic on instagram. they are now all on my list of "never buy from" companies.
  11. I will have to try something, it puts me right off using the site, you get them on on line newspapers a lot, so I never look at them anymore.
  12. not been on here for a week or so. but has the site changed? top and bottom of the screen and both sides are now those dam adds, has the site changed? or had Fing gooogglle changed all my settings in an update last night? yours a computer illiterate person!
  13. It's in a railway siding on Atlantis, built over a pit with 200 Canadian built Churchills in it, easy to find just turn left when you get to the crated Malaysian Spitfires and my Dads Crated Jeeps, and B17 Engines, don't trip over the piles of Amber room panels though they are delicate. Sorry Andy, but that statement makes as much sense as all the rest of this post. You still think everyone is against you, but everyone in this forum and the developers would be over the moon if these tanks where real.
  14. haha we know you are just messing us about, but as it takes only about 20 seconds to look through all your old posts, and oh surprise, no pictures of diggers right back to when you joined the HMVF. did the government have them deleted I ask myself? If you have been genuine in you approach and the tanks had existed you would have been a hero by now, but doesn't look like that does it. I have found the people on this site are very helpful knowledgeable and resourceful, and bend over backwards to help anyone with a problem or question. Shame your approach hasn't inspired the same result, there might be a reason for that.
