well Rob sent a few pics for me, more to come..... i keep spotting bits which i thought i would need so its always nice to see extra goodies.
      still a load of bits to go back on, Rob could not get the break unstuck so the section of track has been removed as you can see. its nicer to see and know the tonne of silt has been blasted out of the tub so you can get a clearer view of the inner workings so to speak. keep saying to myself "GOD WHAT HAVE I TAKEN ON HERE" but she is not too bad really certainly nothing in comparison to the pair that Martyn is building from scratch. cheers Rich

Do the Dads come over from the play ground
Hi Richard
Noticed the playground in the back ground in your last couple of pictures. Have the DADs been coming over to see whats up on the restoration while the kids are playing on the jungle jim? Keep up the good work and take lots of pictures as you go. I'd be lost on my restoration projects if I didn't take lots of pictures. Cheers Phil From the wilds of New Hampshire

I would say by looking at the pictures, that the tracks are not to badly seized. they managed to remove some pins and tie the track up. More likely that the brakes have seized on, is why she didn't role? When do you expect delivery?

Not sure Ron, i think Kevin waited two to three weeks for his, so hoping the tanker does not get hijacked or sinks should be home for end may / early june perhaps ? i will break the tracks down into sections, free them up, media blast them then pop a coat of black paint on, then hopefully rebuild them into two lengths which will hopefully be straight and of equal length
 on the last picures (left hand one rear shot) can anyone tell me what the little bracket type peices are on the rear fender ? Rich

Hi Rich, He's done a great job packaging it up, well done to him, neat way to carry the upper lengths of track.
those brackets, one is for cliping in place the starting crane handle, the other is the little thinging for holding the rear tarpaulin in place, they are called footman loops. cant wait see to your carrier. hope it all goes well. best regards kevin.
