    Yes that is a horrible memory for anyone to carry and it is my greatest fear that someone dies on my watch.Too many times Iv seen the devestation a driver goes through when some poor soul decides to end it all by jumping under a train.Known as a "ONE UNDER" on the railroad it has ended the career of many of my collegues.It hasnt happened to me and I hope and pray it never does but Iv been out ten times to recover trains after one and it is a horrible sight.How the emergency services deal with it day in day out I dont know but I have nothing but praise for them.......

    Here in Ireland everybody pays Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) at 7% of your income.This funds medical treatment,sick pay and state pension when you retire.However it does not cover dental work.Its a great system... Private heath insurance is available but its so expensive its only for the super rich... Paul

    Most guys carried a box of 12v and a box of 24v bulbs as lights were the only issue at that time.Now with ABS ect the tractor/trailer voltage must match so 24v became the standard.12v accessories like a radio/CB (yip we had CBs after the film Convoy was a smash hit here) were wired to the grounded battery.Back then when you dropped a trailer you removed all the lenses and bulbs for the next trailer you picked up as all lenses were standard.....

    In my 40 or so years around trucks I have never seen 12 volt heavy trucks except for American made ones.24 volt has been the standard here in Europe for as long as anyone can remember.Even at the shows Iv brought the Cruiseliner to most guys are suprised its 12 volt... Paul

    I always put a "value"on the enjoyment I get restoreing vehicles.You will always get a good chunk of the money back if you had to sell them for some reason.I work with a guy who thinks nothing of blowing 4/5 grand at a horse race meeting...thats his thing. Great work on that engine.......Im following closely Paul

    I agree 100% with this guy.Its the same BS in Europe.....Now every household in Ireland is getting a booklet on why we should NOT light an open fire including a bbq.It claims we are causeing 1500 deaths a year just by lighting a fire to stay warm.....Its long passed the point of absolute BS... Paul

    Thanks for that.Im delighted you put that here.I got one in 1978 or 79 I know it was shortly after seeing the film.I built it and of course painted it the same as Pig Pens (badly) I still have it but it has suffered the ravishes of time and house moves.Im thinking of building another one when I get the real one finnished.Oh and I still have the original box.... Paul
