here's the link to the pic of the complete assemblies when they were still in the yard i bought them from

http://community.webshots.com/photo/...53353449qWxmOz

i will pick the rest up one day as it's still at the yard, just need to get my crane truck on the road first. i went down yesterday with a labourer and fitted the bogie assemblies (in the rain) things didn't go too well as i ran out of oxygen for the gas axe, broke the only grinding disk we had, couldn't get a weld on the hull as the stick welder wasn't up to it and the plates i had manufactured didn't line up with the bolt holes on the bogies but apart from that it was easy anyway we got it done, just need to get a welder genset and fix it to the hull properly then it'll be time for the crane and flatbed and the 100 mile trip to manchester, once it gets here the pressure to move it soonest will be off and i might be able to enjoy this hobby for a change !
