    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

    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

    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

    Iv seen a fishing trawler with 2 8V71s one of which was set to run "backwards".It was direct drive(no gearbox) to the propellers so the reason the engines were set up this way was for counter rotation of the propellers.It was an interesting set up to say the least... Paul

    The secret lives of batterys...who knew when I posted the question of what batterys our Cruiseliner came with it would lead to such an interesting debate.Very interesting indeed.Thanks guys... Paul

    Our Cruiseliner is 12V Neg ground.Nathans truck is from the same batch and is also 12V..Maybe you guys would know but Iv been told when new they were supplied with 4 6V batterys.would that be right? Over this side of the world the last vehicle I can think of that had a 6V battery was a VW Beatle and some motorbikes... Paul
