Haddock.
Just how old are you?
These date from the first World War.

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.

Here is the box and the engine under construction.
Twin cylinder, side valve???
Nice one.

Yes, it looks like it Andy.
More slow progress, I don't know why but the motivation seems to be on the wain?
Engine installed, springs built.

Have some more cereal.

Lots of sub assemblies to paint.

No it is wet, I had only just sprayed it.

Very detailed chassis.
Great stuff.
Andy.

Looks good Dave, I can’t remember that far back.

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.
-
That's really yellow 'innit.
-
Front axle, radiator brakes and linkages added.
-
This model will always remind me of you Zak - a little ray of sunshine yellow - hohohohoho

More detail added, prop shaft and gearbox etc.

A bit slow, we have been away to see the grandkids.

More progress, wheels painted and other bits added, its a slow job.

Cab, fire extinguisher, horn, steering wheel and brake linkages added.

In the words of Andy - "STICKERS" - well some, few more to add.
I now need to make some sacks of coal.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Sack making in progress.
They need to be painted and coal added to the top, but I still have a lot to make.
-
Amazing!

Looking very good. How did you get the idea of the sacks' manufacture?

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.
