Thanks once again for your kind commments. My former thread was cable excavators of the 1940s and 50s. Rusty bucket was the name but like I said all the pictures got wiped so there's nothing there anymore. Progress has been made since then although some of the jobs have taken a long time, like developnent of the sideframes which took over 12 months. The pictures were taken at the annual Bristol model engineering exhibition which once again will be in August. I hope to be there but now have a smaller car with less room and Limaron is getting very heavy and it may be difficult getting there since I don't belong to any clubs.
In the meantime I will put up some random pictures while I get on with a couple of components for the front drumshaft which also carries the propel gears and dog clutches for selecting crowd or propel drive. Watch this space.
