hAS anyone made any progress here??? abiut saving the gear???

what about taking the wheels off, but that doesn't help with the width though ummmm:-(:undecided:

Hi Ojays what a collection , do you know of a shipping agent there ? I would love the Pioneer not sure of dimensions though ? would it fit into a container height and width? perhaps one or two others Perhaps if everyone nabs one ot two they can be rescued , like many things transporting big toys can be expensive . what tim eframe is there? could they be moved and stored somewhere else whilst shipping organised particularly for me who lives on the otherside of the world? a truly fascinating collection

Mike what is there , can He confirm era etc WW2?

Hi I will round up some pictures and see how to post Chester

Yes passionate about old gear , nothing better than the chase and the retrieve. we have our own 7 ton tilt/slide traytop truck and mate has a tilt semi. we have given up when asked how much we have so we now say 300 tons/ 200vehicles although that is probably inaccurate when you considera Cat 8 R weights 24 ton and a vickers weighs 18ton . Always on the look out to rescue old gear, it would be nothing for me to fire up after work Friday night drive 800 miles o/night to go to a clearing sale or chase down an old relic I had heard of , I met my future father in law at a big swap meet selling a 1928 packard wire wheel, the rest is history. Two young sons and a third on the way

Hi Richard thankyou Rockhampton Central Queensland. I tend to fly under the radar so to speak . The Austin after your comments about the Coles crane version may not be Military as it is much smaller, I will see if I can round up a photo and load it cheers Chester
