HeyCharger Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 What a great weekend.Good truck. Good dog (times two). Borrowed trailer. 8 traction engines. About 30 vintage tractors. About 20 vintage trucks. Dozens and dozens of stationary engines, some "hit-and-miss". Vintage cars.Old drag-line bucket scoop and about 8 bulldozers - all operating. The smell of steam and oil.Great weather and good friends. Heaven!!!Rod.

HeyCharger Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi Monty,No, it is not the original paint. It came out of the factory as a single drive painted green.I have to admit that this is my own colour scheme and I must say, I still like it.If you check out my gallery, you will see more.Re Sydney, yes on RHS just after you go under Menangle Road and before you go under the Mark Evans bridge (I think).I'm pretty sure I spoke to Ed at The NRMA Australia Day Motorfest, re your club.I will put it on my calendar.Where is your location? - Rod.
