Cel Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi all New here, and not really into MV's but with a keen intrest in old iron! Mostly tractors (the older the better) with the oldest one from 1912. Also stationary engines, and a Worthington ex-submarine engine. Military related a Cat D8 but also other plant like a dragline and a JD scraper. I registered here because we have bought a WW1 truck, I will post pictures as soon as it arrives. Lots of interesting and new stuff here so I guess it will be fun! All the best Marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Welcome aboard Marcel! You really have come to the right place as we have Great War Truck and his family here and they will be more than happy to help! Where did you find your lorry?? Kind regards, Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cel Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks for your welcomes! I found the truck in France, it is a 1916 Peugeot. Like I said I will post pictures when it arrives. The submarine engine was taken out of the vessel after the war and used to power a standby generator in a towbridge. We recovered it in the mid-nineties and have it now installed to run a Gardner compressor (just for fun). Marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
