Here is the box and the engine under construction.
A good start.
Hi Zak,
Think my coal was delivered by one of these when I was young.
Cheers,

Are the green pipes because it runs on Bio fuel?

Ha, ha. now if it was Martin, then yes.
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??
Bigkev
Chassis constructed and engine undercoated.
I'm sure my Dad had one like this, I'll dig through old photo's when I get the chance.
Haddock.

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.
Haddock.

Twin cylinder, side valve???
Nice one.
Andy.
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.
Had some.
More progress.
Lots of sub assemblies to paint.
That chassis looks oily.

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.
Hi Zak,
Lots of detailed work there, impressed!!!

Me too.
Looks like a Chassis to me. Good stuff.
Andy.
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.
Looking good - what does he sell - hohohohoho

Your guess is as good as mine.
Hosiery?
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?

Found something similar on line on a model railway website.
Sacks.
They are excellent
Sacks added to lorry, white spots are wet PVA.
Wagon dirtied up a bit as well.
Great, again!
Hi Zak,
Another cracking build.
Cheers,
Bigkev
Excellent build Dave. Most impressive.
Excellent, especially the sacks of coal. What is the coal made from, don't tell me COAL!

Thanks.
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.
