    The speed of response on this forum sometimes amazes me. Brilliant. Titfield Thunderbolt picture here (described as WOT3): http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_116405-Fordson-30cwt-WOT3-GS.html Certainly only looks like a single rear axle - I'll have to watch the film again to make sure! A WOT1 (a crash tender) here: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=&model=WOT1 And for Robert, some WOA2s: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_15101-Ford-WOA2-1941.html http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_182491-Ford-WOA2-1941.html

    This programme shows what may be a WOT1 crew bus at about 16:53. It's very brief and obscurred. Can someone do a screen dump and post it? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00lygk2/Heir_Hunters_Series_3_Toms_Loraine/

    No problem. I've just realised they have a couple of command car bodies for sale - you may not have noticed either! http://www.midwestmil.com/forsale.html

    These repro ammo boxes look neat... http://www.midwestmil.com/dodgewc15.html#topwcp15

    These people seem to do a lot of repro parts, so can probably give advice: http://www.midwestmil.com/index.html

    Howard, what are you doing... what are you getting? http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=48260&cat=4

    I knew there was a tourer at the Shuttleworth collection. Didn't know they had a tender - it's not on their site: http://www.shuttleworth.org/shuttleworth_vehicles.asp Any pictures of, or history about, it?

    Malzeffs, now there's a make you don't hear every day. In fact, never heard of them before and can't immediately find anything on them.

    Ah, I thought it looked like the Peacock's example - with an Irish registration for the event. Good on them.

    I didn't know the Tilbury Fort group have a Morris CDSW six-wheeler. It looks very smart.

    Restored in Britain by Richard Peskett. He has also restored a second Milnes-Daimler bus for a Dutch client.

    Here's a 1912 Benz at the Mercedes museum in Germany - much nearer the WW1 model: http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2452644530027971137EaqYGJ http://ai.mausic.net/img/MercedesBenzLKW.jpeg

    One that got away - post 30 here: http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?t=13088

    To throw something else into the mix, I see Wheels and Tracks #30 quotes the kerb weight of the GS at 5850 lbs and its gross weight as 8950 lbs. Does that make its weight load 3100 llbs? At 2240 lbs to the UK ton, that means the weight load is 1.38 tons or 27.68 cwt! There was a 30 cwt variant of the C9. Based on these figures, it's not hard to see why.
  17. Runflat
    Silly question (from me): Is the load carrying weight of the 15cwt, not 15cwt?
  18. Runflat
    Yes, this is more or less what I heard - that basically the collection itself isn't tied up in a foundation/trust as people had assumed and that those inheriting Jaques' estate can do as they wish.

    I was speaking to an informed source at W&P yesterday about the future of the MVTF following the death of Jaques Littlefield (http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?t=11215). The suggestion was the workshops are closed, staff laid off, the family are not interested in continuing the project and want to clear the site, and collection up for sale (some already sold) at potentially give away prices. Can anyone corroborate this?

    Flicking through wheels & Tracks magazine #67 I was reminded of the work of Pavel Holý: http://www.vintagecarart.cz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55&Itemid=62&lang=en A talented artist.

    Miliblog is growing to be a quite respectable site. The last time I looked there were only a few entries on it. I hope the designer will allow owners or other photographers to submit pictures as well - it could end up being an interesting resource.

    Plenty of vintage wedding cars... and these Sentinel steam buses http://www.oldglory.co.uk/charabanc.htm http://www.steambus.co.uk/index.html

    All this talk about problem windscreen frames reminds me of an article a few years ago about a chap who restored a Fordson 7V and had his remade in brass by Brasscraft, based near Guildford (Classic & Vintage Commercials, Jan 2004): "You'd never find precision engineers like them. I gave them the remains of an original to use as a pattern. The results were unbelievable." I assume they're these people: http://www.isurrey.co.uk/profile/464086/Farnham/Brasscraft-Windscreen-Frame-Manufacturers/ Perhaps you Austin owners should club together and get a batch made?

    Is that a WOT3 in the background of post #86 on the Austin string? http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?t=12339&page=9

    Great picture that Tom. Not seen twins on the front of a Crossley before. For advice, speak to those crazy GMC guys... http://www.hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?t=13866
