Thanks in advance

Sharky aka Iain

Nice one talk soon enjoy your holidays

Might be able to negotiate some more space at ours Danny if that's any use to you.

Hi sorry to highjack this but would you have any idea how much the cost would be for a 105 howitzer shell and case simmilar to the pics posted but with a brass case on the bottom. could do with about 20 ish if the price is good.

Would need either dimensions or one to copy but I'm seeing the chap Thurs so I'll see what he thinks

Thanks Iain, it's not just the shells themselves, ideally the paint and markings too. I'm trying to replicate this:

Yeah that could be done Andy. Gimme a shout if you need

I have a contact up here who can replicate mist things from fibreglass / resin if you get stuck. Just need a pattern.

Have a word with Danny Burt he works on one of the ranges in Marcus's neck of the woods.

Morning Danny I have the 3 piece transmission manual on pdf and I think the hull and tracks one.

I'll have a sift thru see what I have lurking.

Nice buy. Keep us posted on its progress.

Hi Nic welcome to the forum I am also Yorkshire based and have a fair bit of experience with 432's etc sonic you get stuck with anything give me a shout

If the starter relay is pulling in, it can't be the inhibitor at fault!

Here you go there was a fully restored one on milweb last year aswell not sure if it sold.

Theres the guys who bought Bens 666's on here somewhere but not sure if either will be ready for July.

Ditto - the one I played on in Tavistock has now been restored to running condition!

 

Andy

It was brand new when you were a kid Andy.

How do welcome to the forum from a fellow Yorkshire tankaholic.

Evening Ian,

There is an RL troop carrier body on Ebay, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301530912175?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. Might be worth a look, but a shame it isn't Local.

 

Mike.

Cheers Mike def aint local but i'll stick it on my watch list.

That's the fellas - do you know if the 980 has gone far?

Ossett I heard so only 4 miles tops.

Heybeck garage is the firm at soothill dewsbury he had 2 diamond Ts 980s up until recently one has a converted sleeper cab the other was pretty standard that sold about 2 month ago theirs colours were blue and light blue.

The other diamond on the leeds road belongs to Teales he also has a scammell explorer.His are painted blue/black white.

Well done in saving it.The RL are getting a rare truck now.

Looks in good shape,have you got undercover storage as does make a massive difference.

Cheers. Cab is in a sad state the bearers have rotted out and the drivers side floor is shot but its not a massive job its just down to getting time.

I have a large workshop but its pretty full at minute with various vehicles stored with me over the winter and customers Restorations I have in.

She'll hopefully come in early next week when I have rearranged everything then i'll remove cab and tick away as time allows repairing the cab.

Good Work!

 

AFS = Auxiliary Fire Service, nothing to do with the Army, who only drove green goddess in later years.

 

No record of the current registration in The Green Machine (the AFS oracle) so it has certainly been re-registered at some stage. Shame the body is missing, amazing how a few years outdoors can destroy them and let the rot set in!

 

Be good to see how it develops - good luck!

 

Cheers, Duncan.

Sorry yes auxiliary my mistake.
