Evening all another small up date I've fitted the wheel spacers and they work a treat ! And I've just finished last of the major fabrication work off I think

Posted my entry yesterday.

Here is my picture of a black pig in a bag

Looking to finish this 'Mothballed' 1 inch Scale design TE project while I still only need the occasional use of a weak Magnifying Glass !., so it's top of the jobs list now. I've been recently making loads of small Nuts and Bolts for parts that were temporarily fitted. Smallest size is 0.0669" (1.62mm) AF Steel hexagon rod with 12BA thread. The metal plate in the Pic is one of 3 Oil Lamp brackets that require these small bolts-

Not strictly Horticultural or Garden but am looking for information about the manufacturer etc of this push / pull child's rider which was new to me in 1947. Its done the rounds of other children and grandchildren etc and is now back with me for refurbishment! The maker's name stamped in the back is BHC Boltoy but I can't find any reference to them on the internet and unfortunately the possible local source, the Pedal Car Museum, just across the boarder in East Sussex, has closed.

Well the ground is to wet to do anything so I started a new project. A hydraulic tipping trailer. As i work with Fork lifts I aquired a damaged side shift Ram . I stripped and straightened the rod. Closed lenght of 75cm . Had to cut the trailer about a bit to allow for the arc of the ram but nothing to drastic. Now run out of Mig wire. I will post some photos when I have it abit more together

Hi all here is my old Ransoms Viibrohoe which has lay dead and forgotten for about 20 years but now after a new coil, points, and some loving care its alive again it came out to say hello in the sunshine I restored it more than 20 years ago but the paint is looking a little tired now what colour of Ransomes paint do you recommend it doesnt seem to the colour of a mg5 or 6 orwell or nacton blue I dont know what do you lads think i would value your comments thanks rolloman

I'le third it

Cheers mate

That's a good choice of colour.

U run out of meter money in your workshop then!!

I'll second that!

Managed to get the rest of the rims painted today. Ever notice, as soon as you set out something that is freshly painted all the flys in the country have to land on it ! WHY ? What it it about fresh paint that is so appealing ?

Nowt like teasing us with a good project and no pics!

Those wheels under the arches look really something. Proper job!

Looking really well

i have 1x iron horse with plough on rubber tyres, its not seized. but havent looked at it any further.. 2x wheel horse b111's one wit\h grass deck BOTH with poorly gearboxs

That looks like the one my father built.

Not much of an update, managed to get one coat of antique white on the rims today before it started to snow !
