Its thawing here , very surprising how fast a lot is just turning to slush ,,

You know whats likely to come next - floods

Most of it Slow motion, i.e. in Low range. Trying to find something steep enough to stop it. Those mounds very steep, don't look so bad in the photo but in photo 2 the rear wheels are off the ground as she bounced when coming down the rear.

looks as though its just landing , That stretcher oxygen bottle holder - well you could fit it up with a mig welder and you know where the bottle might fit

are you striping the axles and box out the pinz or are you removing the body

The drivetrain may be similar to that on the DAF YA my brother had in which the power is fed to a central transfer box then by a prop to each wheel station .

thanks Dave, There must be a good reason why they're made this way

Fredrick, I don't recall seeing models made like this before , looks the same process for making plastic packaging

The Unipower..Waiting to load a Turbine at Cottam power station 9-1-10

that looks soom size trailer how big is the rest of it and how much does the turbine weigh ?

I posted more pics in the Aviation section, but here's one from the NE Aircraft Museum this morning. So how many tons of snow to do that?

thats strange , the plane must be close to ballance point and maybe a larger area behind the rear wheels

so much fun almost looks as though your trying to break it :-D

Mike you could have at least digitally enhanced the pics so it was olive green does look a bit of a mess and looks to have ended up in a police parking bay

:-D brilliant replies guys ,, Fredrick thats a nice looking model and a good size , are you making this model from scratch or is it bought

, on the link you put up it shows the underside does anyone know why there is two propshafts to each axle / maybe two speed or to lock the axle like a diflock ,

Hi, thanks for the info there is more on the car in the link below , also showing a bit more of them trucks

the car is a Skoda Kubelwagen ( when they new how to make a good car ) but them days lots look to share the same body

If you found Alladin's barn full of interesting MV's you will have lots of new friends.

 

On that point I keep thinking of a movie line "A Porsche is too small to have sex in, but once you get out...." If the Morros is anything like the piccies or has potential to look like that you could have your on line "it don't start, it don't run but the guys at the MV show want a ride" :-D

I've got a bad feeling that the chap may have put some wrong vehicles in the barn in my eyes , because by the sounds of it some rare ones outside and if so might have to post some pics in scrapyard relics ,,

we had some more snow last night , so think it maybe another week before I can get there :-(

nice looking bike you got there ,is the white rear light the standard fitment in pakistan and doeas it use a red bulb for the brake

Nigel

I was wondering the same but thought it looks like it might just be a chrome number/plate light

Thought there were going to be some pics of carky green Porsche 911s there for a moment :-D

Them Mercedes trucks do look nice and would be great with a radio body , not sure how the model number is suposed to work on them cause normaly an 809 would = 8ton 90hp / ,,, 410 = 4 ton 100hp

( GB = 7.5t / 3.5t ) ,, so would 911 = 9ton 110hp

hi anyone good at identifying old trucks in the link below , think these could be Rusain , look as though they could be 4X4 , I'm sure I seen a pic of one on the forum not ong ago , Would be great to see what they look like from the side ,, the car I think is a early forties Skoda

hi Steve, I've seen and used these Thackery type washers I'm just trying to think where and one place that seems to come to mind is the throttle lever on my Fordson Tractor but think the size would be more 5/8 , I'll have a check in the buckets of old bolts at my parents when the weather permits

Mike weathers not been to good and dont want to venture to far , There will be lots of amazed folk when they find out what this guys got , as for weather the wind might change for the better

Looks like your making a good job of it ,, maybe a larger windscreen with a flip down cover with small openings might be the answer to the visibilaty ,

try these links the oldtimer one has some great pics , the other links are for model kits in 1:72 scale

welcome , That bike looks very nice

Thats looking very nice , is the engine a 1.3 single port ?, its hard to find engines of the corect type , I've a fifties? beetle one but has been left outside and not too good

nice pics especialy the top one ,

Very nice job , are the cast ends held together by threaded rods that go right through the silencer-if so might it have had springs on one end to help keep it all tight ?

not to many years I was hoping that when I got my tickets to operate tracked 360 and tracked dumpers that this would entitle me to drive them on the road but it never :cry:

Would it not be easier to take a test on something like a tracked dumper or would this be a diferent class ?

5mph with steel tracks :-D I can remember a niebour that used to pull his Internationall Drott with a 6cyl Fordson Major ,

just up the road was on the news , Tan hill the highest pub in England there were people that were just geting home early monday after new years eve party due to been snowed in with 7ft drifts they did not want to take the Hugland out , I've got photos towards the end or just after WW2 Grandparents snowed in were the snow is drifted half way up the front door of there house , Also pics of Grandfather and a load of men diging out a steam train stuck up near Kirkby Steven , the heat from the train melted the snow then it froze and I think the train was stuck for nearly three weeks

got the clutch put back together today lined it up using a gearbox input shaft from a nineties VW camper , will be ready to go back in soon ,,

Not sure what there up to but looks as though they've stooped on a level crossing
