Leon Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) The father of my Brother in Law is on one of these photo's. A Polish unit in Holland. A workshop in a Retriever.

0 Rangie Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 The engine has the look of a Lister Junior or one of its larger brothers perhaps, running a lighting/power plant. The drill press has the look of a Denbigh about it, although many manufacturers produced similar looking tools at the time. The Lathe i'm unsure but it looks plain bearing and flat belt, either motor driven or possibly flat belt from the alternator pulley. It too could be Denbigh but there were many similar machines at the time. Hopefully someone will produce a CES for the workshop truck, that will provide good pointers.

0 Rootes75 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 They are some wonderful pics. The engine is certainly the style of a Lister Junior with the large water cooler on the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Leon Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Thanks for the help! I'm using a ICM kit as a start but I still have some questions. A. Is this a jack or something else? Pictures above show more of it. B. I have seen them before but have no idea about this tool. C. Is this stand connected to B? D. There seems to be a wooden board in the back, has someone an idea what it's for? (Did you noticed the fancy scallop shaped light above the generator? Nice touch.) Thanks in advance. And sorry about my lack of knowledge. I'm new to this world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Leon Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) It might be not as good as usual for this forum, but my 1:35 Lister engine is slowly taking shape. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. Edited October 18, 2022 by Leon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rangie Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Cute! At 1:35, how large/long will the model of the workshop lorry end up being? Alec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Citroman Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 D is an other lamp above a workbench? With a wooden back behind it. The shadow of the lamp is on it. At the right there are two more of these spotlights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Leon
The father of my Brother in Law is on one of these photo's. A Polish unit in Holland. A workshop in a Retriever.
I would like to build a model of this workshop for my BiL but need help to identify the tools.
Clockwise from the left: generator(?), high toolstand with ?, ?, lathe, workbench with grinder and vice, drill press.
The more you guys can tell me, the better the model will be. (Markings on the vehicle?) Thanks in advance.
