Me too bob,my old man was very fair but when he said you do something you done it no questions just get it done..... Paul

Thought about doing just that but I want to be sure with the steers anyway.If the rears blow its a hassle but of the steers blow....well..... I was in contact with a guy today who said army tires in that size should be available but would be very rough rideing.Hes getting me a contact number of a crane hire company who use tires in that size. Paul

If only I could get tires......1200/24 tube type just cant be found in Ireland..... Paul

Theyre about 22 dollars for a 20 pack in Ireland today.I dont smoke,never did and im sure happy I dont at that price..... Paul

Do they still run the steam specials? I love the names of the American Railroads.I really enjoyed working the steam locos,hard dirty work but very enjoyable.Im stood down from it as im over 60 and the health and safety office wont allow over 60s to work them.More pussy foot rules,Men worked them into their 70s back in the day.... Paul

Thats a fantastic shop...OMG id love something like that with all the gear.Id love to retire and just restore stuff....Might as well dream here as in bed... Paul

Is that for one trip into NYC? If it is holy cow.We think 4 dollars into Dublin is a rip off... Paul

Iv had no luck in finding tires yet Geoff.It seems 24in tube type tires are just not available here in Ireland.Iv made contact with a group who restored a 1933 Dennis fire truck which has 1200/24 tires.They got new tires and tubes for it in Northern Ireland but the company who supplied the tires went out of business.It seems I might have to change to 10 stud hub pilot wheels but thats going to be very expensive.Many thanks for your advice and interest in our problem.. Paul

Id say he is right..... Paul

Dont know what that is.Its not on our Cruiseliner.Id be very interested to know what it is and what its for... Paul

A guy who lived just 7 miles from me had one of these trucks.It was a 2 axle and I saw it many times over the years.I dint know where it is now as the guy passed away and his collection was sold off.He told me it was a very simple truck to drive but with just forward and reverse but it would go at the same speed either way....I also drove steam locomotives as I was a volunteer driver with the Railway Preservation Movement here. A Great experience....... Paul

I like it.Do you know if it still survives? What was it like to work with everyday?Heres a picture of our truck in its first year on the road. Paint kinda like yours.(keeping the paint thing going🤣).... Paul

Theres always one....on the other hand I think any day I dont learn something is a bad day.....By the way Id kill for a shop like yours.It fantastic.... Paul

Id say your right Paul.If you look at our Cruiseliner you'll see headlights not spot lights mounted in the bumper.this is to comply with Euro regulations on headlight height.The original headlights are too high for full beam so two full beam only lights were placed in the bumper...... Paul

Spot on... Paul
