dizzy-t Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Does any one know of a colour picture of a WYNNS Diamond T with original cab, and what would the colour be, I know its red, but any idea what shade, and also what are the other colours used, is it all over black (apart from the red)? We have all seen the none original cabs, but I prefer the original.:drive::help::coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Graves Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 hi dizzy, i have a book here called hauling heavyweights and a section in it is devoted to wynns with coloured shots of their diamonds, i have had the book for over twenty years so it may well be out of print, but the other way is to buy john wynns dvds 1 to 7, there are hours of coloured footage of diamonds and pacifics, well worth the money, hope of some help dizzy, all the best tony g.

Tony Graves Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 hi dizzy, spoken to john wynn for you about colours on the diamonds, the nearest red was post office red and the ballast body was maroon, but he said no two vehicles were the same colours, the nearest would do, perhaps this may help you in making your models, hope of some help, tony g.

Many thanks Tony, I'm not planning to make it just yet, as I am still making Alan Oxborough's Diamond T, so after that I will have athink about it, I would love to do a PICKFORDS one as well, but would have to seriously think about that.

Gordon_M Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 The Sunday name for 'Post Office' red is actually 'Poppy' red, takes me back to when I had to work on that stuff for a living. Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Graves Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi All I took these photos of Arthur Carter's Diamond T a couple of weeks ago. The wooden back body has been replaced with a cut down Diamond balast body. He has a fair way to go yet but the conditions he has had to work in has been horrendous (snow, rain and wind) and he has tried his best with very little money. Hopefully it will be finished for the new rally season.. Hope of interest. Tony G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyFowler Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thats looking very good. Seconded Ray , Saw this old girl at War and Peace last year ! Glad to see the work is progressing nicely !

N.O.S. Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thirded!! She's looking pretty good I'd say - Arthur has no need for a cheque book if that is the standard he's managing to achieve without one. Well done to him. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Graves Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi All, sorry for the quality of the photo. This ws Arthur Carter's Diamond shown recovering an artic during the 1970's. It was fitted with a Rolls C6 which blew a hole in the block and was re-fitted with Cummins 335 supercharged engine which was taken out of the famous Wynn's Pacific 192 Dreadnought which was cut up afterwards. Note also the cut back battery boxes to make room for the shear legs. Hope of interest. Tony G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony G Hi Tony, thanks for posting the pictures, it will give big A a boost embarrassingly it takes your pictures posted from France to show me how he is getting on just around the corner from home! Looking forward to hearing the cummins working hard this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewrance Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Having regular updates (I'm Arthur's Cousin) and had the vehicle visit my yard a couple of times, I'd say he is doing brilliantly. With a little help from his friends and his young son then I'd say it is going to be a brilliant vehicle. Make's my Scammell look like a toy!. Keep up the good work Arthur.
