Well that's really neat, because I have three litres of it in a tin waiting for my ute and I had never seen one painted all over in it. I presumed they only used it for roofs and wheels, but I liked the idea of it all over. Now I have seen it and it looks fantastic. :)Quote:

Restoration work has slowed due to work..........but getting there.
There were 4 of these in service with the Snowy Hydro - with only 3 remaining (4th one was wrecked) would be nice to get them all together again at the next Cooma 70th event.

So Wayne, if there was an unwanted fire at your place (that wasn't threatening your shed of course), which vehicle would you take to extinguish it?

Hi there
Thats is a problem - but usually the 54 (very nimble/quick and easy to operate single handed).Quote:

The others just pump to much water - they were initally designed for areas with lots of water.
The collection has got a little out of hand but being a firey and a strong supporter of History they have been preserved for future generations (not wrecked like most)
All the best
Wayne
See the roof top is painted white? I think the variation looks good. White wheels might look good too.Quote:
