Old Bill Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 That's some lovely timber you have used there, Mark. What other things did you have to make? Looks like a new radiator and bonnet too. Well done. It's great to see another one out! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rlangham Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Superb restoration and photos. Lets hope there are WW1 events up at Beamish in the next few years. The stage could not be better! Tom There are several a year already courtesy of the Durham Pals living history group although we haven't had a WW1 motor vehicle there yet - if you fancy coming let me know and i'll put you in touch with the head of the group; http://durhampals.org.uk/ 15th/16th June 17th/18th August 19th/20th October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Peskett Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The Albion A 10 model is very well written up in the Automobile Engineer, Vol. 8 1918 pages 46 to 53 and Vol. 9 1919 pages 68 to 71. Picture of front end herewith Richard Peskett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redherring Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Richard. Do you happen to know of any similar pictures of Leyland class ST or T? A Leyland chassis in my possession has a front axle of similar design to the Albion A10. We think the design was very "unusual" for Leyland. It is very puzzling.

Papav66 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If you would like to view Mark's Albion very soon, then I'm thrilled to announce that it will be coming to our show Wartime in the Vale, Evesham on the 22 & 23 of June & we intend to pair it up with 'The Garrisons' First World War 18pdr gun, so I think that will be another great photo opportunity. Loved that B&W pic at Beamish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
