there will be a day soon when the sun is shining and you're driving the panzer at a show somewhere and it will have been worth all the effort. 

another tiger 1 is on the books somewhere

when news first spread of it being disposed of i rang the museum and spoke to the female curator that explained it had been scrapped.  i then asked for the details of the scrap yard but she wouldn't provide them and that was the end of that. i was really angry and disappointed and vowed to save whatever i could in future. which is how i ended up in the mess i'm in now

i spoke to him last week and he's fine, just got other things to do. i'm sure he'll be back when there's more progress

looks a little bit tropical. bit like a mangrove. did malaysia have M18's

certainly looks like it could be otter

adrian is right. it's a boxed and spudded track from a covenanter

i'll be having a look at it again tomorrow

i bought two this year a 436 and a 434 and both have failed gearbox heat exchangers. i'm going to bypass the heat exchanger and just return the oil to the box and see how the temps are. by the way the heat exchanger cools the gearbox, steering box, hydraulic fan drives and engine oil

message peter (the guy that started the thread) he'll get back to you soon enough

just been in touch with one of the guys and the firewire box is still available

i've seen them around £10k each restored

colin waterworth had one for sale. give bob grundy a call tomorrow and see if it's still available

thanks wally

so has the crusader definitely been sold to a private collector and if so who is it

i'm really pleased someone had the vision and tenacity to go after them and come out on top. the buffalo was in great condition 

i can sort one for you

i think i speak for us all when i say we really want to see it running and painted. keep it up 

i recently bought six packs and may be able to help out if you can wait a while 

i recently bought a smart charger from ebay for £13.99 and was happy with it's performance. it will charge 6 12 and 24v.  its yellow and black and looks a bit like a multimeter, the manufacturer is katbo

i don't have any to spare but you can repair them yourself if you are mechanically minded

i believe it is quite easy to fix the solenoid as they mainly fail due to bad contact on the smaller coil

as ever your eye for detail and ability to fabricate are very impressive

hydrochloric acid (brick cleaner) is excellent and will clean the copper like new in seconds but it will dissolve aluminium and also zinc from brass so use it wisely

it is an A9 with early track
