Hi Zak,
Think my coal was delivered by one of these when I was young.

Are the green pipes because it runs on Bio fuel?

Hi Zak,
I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but will a certain 'green convertible and accompanying figure' be present in the final photo shoot??

Bet the photos are in a brown sepia colour with metal stands to hold people steady while the photo was taken over a long long long period of time - hohohoho now I am in trouble.

My dad had a collection of classic vehicles. I distinctly remember a big green Bentley and a dark blue Riley sports saloon. A restored truck could well have been in the collection. He ran a haulage and taxi business.

Post by: zak on September 08, 2020, 03:02:59 PM
This is quite a slow job, I undercoated the parts and then a coat of white and now yellow, so a lot of waiting between stages.
I forgot the photo.

I now need to make some sacks of coal.

Whilst you've got the yellow paint out you could make a Portland Cement steam lorry as used to carry cement for making runways in WW2. Just a thought.
