    I blew a waterpump last time we went out in Ralph, I was going to replace it this weekend along with the brake booster but the call of the open road was too much. Steph & I jumped on the bikes and cruised to port macquarie, did the 300 twisties up and over the oxley highway today and are now sitting at the imperial hotel in Armidale with a nice bottle of merlot. I got to play fireman on the steam engine today at timbertown which was a hoot, (my grandfather used to build steam engines). Cruising thru dorrigo, ulong, grafton, lawrence, casino, kyogle and back home tomorrow so i might get time monday to make a start on Ralph monday. Enjoy your ling weekend all.
    Cheers Ian

    And the best part about it was the engine driver was a Landy nut, he has 10 old ones from 1's to 3's and a 2010 90" as well. He even held the train up to ask me if i wanted to go for another run in the cab on the next trip. Thx Darryl, it was fun.

    Thank You

    I have just joined the forum and have finished reading the whole thread, what a great story. Thanks for all your efforts. My goal is a S2a restoration too.

    Thanks again.

    Thanks Ranb
    Welcome mate. The one and only rule with your restoration is, photo's are a must (and no it's not because we can't read)
