Le Prof Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Hi, All. Postcard taken at Gent, Sint Pieters Station. It's not possible to get exactly the same angle, there's a tramway in the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroman Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 This is a great WW1 Delahaye winch truck for observation balloons. I wonder who did chose this colour scheme at the restoration at the Technik Museum in Speyer . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bill Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 That is quite a colour scheme so there must be a history behind it. Perhaps it worked for a showman? Great to see that it has survived! Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about that one! Steve🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welbike Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 There is soooo much plain wrongly restored/captioned/pure fake stuff in that museum, seems the owner doesn't care at all. But still nice to visit once in a while. Lex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) It does look nice, it's inside, in the dry, and being cared for. A coat of green paint would cure it all ( That wouldn't have been OD originally, or would it? ) If I had my pick I'd go for the Ahrens-Fox pumper beside it, you could REALLY make an entrance in that. 😇 Edited July 21, 2022 by Gordon_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpsmit Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Not exactly WW1 but slightly relevant to the Delehaye this showed up at a local cruise night last Saturday. 1925 American LeFrance - note the spotlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 That is an interesting way the American -LaFrance has been restored. I like it! Is it still running the original engine? Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroman Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Yes the Speyer museum had a lot strangly painted vehicles and other stuff. I think the truck would have been grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mammoth Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Non original type tyres, radiator and firewall, and the search light bracket looks like it belongs in a tv studio. When did white steering wheels become available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 Anybody recognise what this gearbox came off. The grease came with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Is this a three speed ? I can't see all of the gear chest. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 It looks like it mounts to a subfre likely the same as would the engine. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blastermike Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Had this front axle given to me recently, could be from the ww1 era but more than likely could date post war too, im fairly sure its off a caledon truck aound 1 1/2 to 2 ton size? has a cross symbol on the greasecaps, theres some more remains on the farm it came off that possibly are from the same truck? planning on checking it out this summer, hope this is of some interest?? mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Correct it is from a Caledon lorry. I have seen parts of two in New Zealand, with parts of another one still on the get to list. The one you have has cast bearing caps, earlier models had brass caps. My research indicates only a vey few were imported into NZ. There is one complete example on display in Scotland.

Great War truck Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 I picked up this rather nice and sparky Simms SR4X Magneto. It has an RAF stamp on it and i think that it is anti clockwise rotation. What was the SR4X used on within the RAF? The J has just the SR4. any thoughts please anybody.

smiffy Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 My Crossley IGL3parts book lists 3 different Simms mags SR4X SRM4 and SR4LE . Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Is that mark above the letters RAF a crown replacing the broad arrow, or is it a polarity indicator? Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Some years ago I came across a pair of solid rubber tyre wheels. There were no makers markings on the spokes or other parts however the pattern was showing as being from Leyland Last month my son Karl was in that part of the country and arranged to collect them. Now they are home and cleaned down the mounts for the springs, brakes and spoke shape all indicated early Leyland. We can now confirm the Leyland heritage, with help from Rick Sutcliffe. These come from a Leyland S3. 30 from 1913 and match the Sutcliffe's Barnsley bus. The axle housing has been gas cut at some time, so the diff section is missing along with the rest of the vehicle. Like so many of the wheels we have come across, these may have been used as a trailer in a second life. Confirming the identity of his pair of wheels takes Karl's Leyland collection back another three years in the timeline. Hopefully one day photos of this lorry will turn up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
