  1. Welcome Captian Crank Yes lots to read and see here . Once you get settled in We would all enjoy seeing a few photo's of your Collection .
  2. Good Job , I m sure your very pleased to have that job behind you .
  3. Yes my Better Half has driven my CCKW along with the Ben Hur several times , Being a Farm raised Woman there is not much that fazes her. Previously she had mastered operating a Case 580ck loader backhoe I had had for a number of years as well.
  4. What of the Hollywood re-bodied half-tracks used in that same scene as the German vehicles try to cross the soon to be washed out bridge . In my opinion if the bogie's had not been shown it might have passed for a German half-track, but its only a detail a Vehicle historian would notice , that 95 percent of the general public would not .
  5. Surely if they are not casting properly then they should not be billing for those that have been made poorly the failure is theirs.
  6. A pity that casting is are not usable, on the other hand it lets you practice your machining methods. When they do the next castings will you have them do more than one , just incase the same problem happens again so your not waiting for them to redo .
  7. Thanks for posting , great group of HMV's
  8. So Tragic, I recall watching one documentary about the work done to contain the hot material outside of the reactor , they had people basically making their own lead coated smocks to offer a few additional minutes shielding as one by one they had to go up onto the remaining roof and shovel a chunk or two of what ever was there down inside the wreckage of the old reactor then leave the area asap as another took their place. Those they spoke sometime later said they knew the risks and if they did not do this then someone else would have to . Very courageous .

  18. I had read the all the posts and debated if I should make a post .... I should have in hind sight re-checked the postings again before I did SORRY ! Safariswing . I know the problems will be sorted out and that the patch will fix a number of things , since I had not seen the problem posted and not sure it might be at my PC I asked .
  19. Not sure if it's a forum bug or my PC's problem but when I click on the "go to the first new post" on any thread it loads the thread/page and counts down as the postings load but does not take me to the "newest post " it simply leaves me at the first post almost all the time which causes me to re-read parts of the thread to see where the new material begains.
