Thank's easo for the photo's there welkom.

But "time goes on" in my museum so we worked hard to get the Loyd on the road. Got the roadwheels on again and building the fuel tanks.

Great work on those fuel tanks, I wondered what baffles they had inside. I'm trying my hardest to get those exhaust parts done as soon as possible, from the conversation I had this moring they should be ready by the end of next week but I will not be able to confirm that until Monday 28th March as my Dad who is organising them is on Holiday in Norway! Apparently because the stub pipes are handed, the machinist put off making the jig until he had both types and the foundry were late sending the other type through to him.
