    Fixing a backscene at the shed end behind the farm today, not so happy as the glue seems have caused the odd ripple!! But it's not dry yet so will wait and see!!

    Hi Ron
    Hopefully drying out will sort the wrinkles, it didn't work for me, so I went back on the booze again :avatar:
    Like the photos, this photo of the week competition is certainly hotting up, glad it's not me having to choose

    That back scene blends in flawlessly Ron. Looks great. I also like the Iforwilliams trailer. What a catch that is.

    Well done mate.

    Cheers

    It'll take a bit yet to dry right out but it looks great anyway. Picked the ideal back scene.

    Cheers

    Hi Gormo,

    It's a Bedford TK chassis. The British Army used them as troop carrier lorry's amongst other uses for years before switching to the Bedford TM.

    Probably up to the mid eighties I'd think.

    Cheers

    Yes you're right Tom, I drove quite a few in my service years and some of the older Bedfords as well. I don't think today's drivers would cope with double de-clutching up and down the box!!

    Cheers

    I have driven a coach that required double de clutching. You know when you've been in one. One leg is stronger than the other. he he .

    I think the Bedfords main competitor in its day was the old Ford D series. Both have great character about them.

    cheers

    My Mum & Dads old VW 1600TL fastback had no synchro on first, so 2nd to 1st needed a double de-clutch.
    When my mum took her test one of things she failed the test on, when we returned to the UK was on unmarked back roads you could not exceed 30mph (still the same now - seeminly), but had to drop 2 gears on approaching a junction. No problem, however the car had a high gear ratio so you didn't get into 4th untill over 35mph, and dropping from 3rd to 1st was not allowed as double declutching was counted as an advanced driving technique, and not allowed by learners.
    Mind you the examiner looked more shocked, when after telling her she had failed - braver man than me, she got out of the car, took off the L plates, got back into the car, the examiner said "but you failed"... "so" was hner answer and drove off .... he failed to notice the Visitor to Britain 12mth badfge on the front windscreen.

    Good story Paul, I also had a VW 1600 'Notchback' 1970 I think!

    Anyway back to Weybourne, bought some fencing while out today so a little job to do tomorrow and I may do a building to cover those stretch marks in the back scene???

    Cheers

    Weybourne is in limbo at the moment as we have decided to move house this year!! Downsizing due to health and old age!! The garden and house have beaten us this winter so a move is on the cards!!
    Will keep you updated. Still have Hinchcliffe though!

    Cheers

    Hi Ron,

    Fantastic images once again. Lovely photos of your stock nicely posed there. It's a shame to have to dismantle it. I hope you can do it without too much damage being done. Hope the house hunting comes to a quick and successful conclusion for you.

    Cheers

    Toto

    Hi Tom, We're putting an offer in tomorrow on a house in Newark on Trent, there is a 10x7 box room that is ideal and Weybourne should fit with a bit of juggling I hope!!
    Will keep you posted..

    Cheers
    Ron

    All the best with the offer. The train room sounds ideal. Just think ........ From the comfort of the house as well.

    That sounds good Ron.....Good Luck with it all.!!!
    Your post about dismantling makes one reflect on the little empires we build and what do we do with them if circumstances change. GCJ is built in modules, but what a pain it would be to re-house it. I`m not sure if I would bother to be honest.....too much grief involved, but on the other hand, a lot of time and effort down the tube.
    All the best
