EMacionga Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Gents, It seems I stumbled onto your forum while looking for more information on the chaps who built an operational replica of the A7V "Schnuck." I work for the National Parks Service, and have been doing increasingly more preservation work the last several historic sites I have been stationed at. I am not a Ranger (although I have been), I'm more hands-on: painting, whitewashing and repairing or installing wood shingle or shake roofs on historic structures and building or supervising crews in construction of replica 18th and 19th century style Virginia split rail fences. I recently assisted with barking a 1904 era structure at Yosemite NP in California. I have done repairs on replica limbers and 6lb and 3" Ordnance Rifle carriges with original tubes, but the closest I have come to historic military vehicles has been helping remove, polish and reinstall the brass trim on replicas of the U.P. 119 and C.P. "Jupiter" at Golden Spike NHS. I am Ed but you may use Edwin or Edward both of which appear on various official records. Ed By the way, where is the "having a pint emoticon?"

Tony B Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 You are most welcome Ed. Though vehicles are the basis of the forum, we all absorb anything even vaguly linked to military subjects and history like a sponge. As for smileys, click on more smiley before posting.

EMacionga Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Thaks for the welcome Tony B. I have had plenty of experience driving and living in military vehicles back in my mis-spent youth. I must be getting old some of the types I worked with are now showing up in front of National Guard Armories and museums! Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Catweazle has been seen tinkering with NOX kits latley so be prepared. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
