Curb – Photos of the prototype of this vehicle are rare I only know of one poor quality photo of the larger workshop body fitted to a Crossely truck chassis – there is a photo available on the net of a workshop body at the Imperial War Museum- this being purpose built body for the War Department- the only information I have on my project is that the original truck built in 1914 for the Waring & Gillow furniture company and was a wooden body fitted to a longer chassis( possibly a modified coach chassis ) in 1916 it was commissioned by the War Department under the war subsidy act – the body work was modified and refitted as a workshop following plans laid down by the War Department - examples can be found from the Gloucester Carriage Company a company known for its narrow gauge railway workshops- an excellent article can be found in Narrow Gauge & Industrial Review magazine on these workshops the transmission was also modified so a power take off could be fitted to drive a generator for the workshop equipment possibly supplied by Tilling Stevens who were a company well advanced at the time in Petrol/electric vehicles and generators. Research into these types of vehicles can be confusing especially when a civilian vehicle has been modified for W D use they were all different and options in wheels/transmissions/engines/bodywork were subsequently used it was a matter of what was available at the time- enclosed a few photos of types of body work fitted to these vehicles. Just a thought who’s Gordon I’m Barney !! Barney    |

AWESOME! I LOVE, Love, love the engine stand! Only the guys here would do/appreciate that effort! Even down to the polished steel on the wheels! How did you do the curved sprockets on the crank pulley? -Marty |

I'm going with Marty on this one - simply Brill'!
Loving the engine stand too - smashing little detail, and probably the only bit of the entire project that I could emulate.
Most excellent.

Thats turned out really well Barney ................. mind you it should considering the work you have put into to it . The little touches of colour and the ? decal/etched plates really bring it to life . I too really appreciate the engine dolley, much better than my odd pair of tweezers Marty, guessing but that pulley looks really like one of Dave's (Vectorcut) bits |
