 Better than my Loyd. Can I covet another mans steel work? Oh, to have those hull brackets, the track guard rails, the engine cover frame....in fact everything above the chassis rails! Fine work Paul, every last bit of it, some of the very few Loyds that are still in existance look a bit 'thrown together', yours most certainly doesn't.

Don't worry Alastair i'll make all the drawings you need.
 re-building the tin work is the only good option. it's too bad to use again.

Didn't mean to offended anyone, there is only mine under restoration in the UK at the moment as far as I know and Paul is the only individual restoring one in Europe. The one at dux is apparently restored..ish, dirks is a minter, ex-BG is now in holland and looking tired, there is a rough one in France which Paul showed me photos of and the Belgian museum example is nice but not mint. Two more are under restoration in France by a museum near strasburg? I've seen photos of another in Europe, but it looked very odd in the upper hull.

If they are that rare i had better go and finish digging the rest of the Loyd out of the scrap pile i have paid for, the land owner said they had broken a few up on that piece of land just after the war. just need to find a truck chassis as well. Just wish this weather would warm up a bit.

way to much metal in the ground, there is surposed to be a heap of track buried there as well. The guy was told by his father never to break up the floor of one of their sheds as that was where they buried all the ammo out of the tanks ! This is the wrong thread to be putting all this. sorry didnt mean to hijack it.

i'm doing a loyd too, well sort of, i bought a fordson 7v chassis to start it off and with a little help from alastair
 i might get there in the distant future i've also heard of a loyd on a hillside in a dark and distant land infested with heathen tribes (scotland) which i'll get up to see in springtime, i've also just found some wheels and track for it aswell so i might start it this year but we'll have to wait and see.eddy
