  1. I don't know about Kineton. I thought it was Longmoor was the military railway area. As I recall it was used for scenes in The Great St Trinians Train Robbery & in a Morecambe & Wise film where it was meant to be a railway in S.America.

    Sorry yes, Longmoor wa sthe base but BAD Kineton had sevral locos running there, Woolwich had 120 miles of track, standard and narrow at one stage.

     

     

    Slightly off topic for a mo

     

    There are still military railways at Kineton, Longtown, Eastriggs, Bicester & Marchwood, a lot of other depots also still have rail capabilities. Oh, and Longmoor Railway closed in 1969.

     

    Anyway, I think the object is an ammunition loading shed for a fixed gun site.

  2. Unfortunately while playing football last Tuesday I tore the Crushiat ligament in my left knee, so I am now unable to bend or straighten it. I have been signed off work for 3 weeks, but can't do anything to the truck as I can't lift anything or even climb into the cab :-( . Hopefull I can coerce some friends round and I can sit and delegate with my foot up :whistle: . Have a couple of shows at the beginning of September I would like to take her to so fingers crossed :-)

  3. The military use an oil called EP220.

     

    If it's an ex-military vehicle, try to get hold of army EP220 - from memory I think the EP stands for extreme pressure - but I stand to be corrected.

     

    I smells shocking but does the job a treat.

    Mark,

     

    EP220 is for extremely large final drive units. I don't think the LR would move with that in :-D. EP90, as has been said before is the stuff

  4. Clive,

     

    Do you know what the date is on that one and I'll see if I can get one. It looks the same as the ones I gave to Mike, except for the 'Drive Defensively' background.

     

    If anyone wants a copy of the stuff I have, I can post some or even if one of the Admin can make a PDF file up to post on this site.

  5. I suppose I'd better say hello, although some of you know me already.

     

    My names Nigel, although mostly I'm known as Nige. I own a Winterised/Wading 90 with a 2.5 NAD engine, formerly of 42 Cdo RM. There's nowt much wrong with it that can't be sorted with a 2lb hammer or a 200 TDi if someone has a spare one :whistle:

     

    Here's a couple of pics of it.

    As you can see I don't mind getting it wet and muddy, in fact it's what I use daily for work (without the snorkel, cos it won't fit in car parks :roll:).

     

    That's me then
