Jim, even if that is a "basic" build model as you say, who cares?
You have given this the same attention to detail that your other works have attracted.
Beautiful model!! :2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

j&j, Jim
I may not have been commenting on the build but I have been following. I am by far not able to classify myself as a beginner as I have not made any models. I do enjoy watching the work in progress as it makes me feel part of the process. So please do not underestimate the power of a work in progress.
Great looking model. :2tsup:
Jim, What a great little T Model ford, wheels and timber selection ,first class. John.
Thanks Bret, it will be the locomotive, a basic Toys & Joys pattern. But it wont be anything like the classic locomotive that came out of Texas a couple of year's ago nor will it look like the masterpiece Keith is currently building in the Toy Section. It will be a coal burner with tender, I have started on the rail's already. Cheer's Jim.
This is to say a BIG THANK YOU to everybody who commented & sent their thanks & their "likes" during & after the build of my little truck.It is most appreciated. Cheer's Jim.
Here we have same truck but in a different background. It show's the truck in a completely different light. Cheer's Jim.
Hi,
Nice model. But the gear leaver did not exist _ "The transmission, consisting of two forward gears and one reverse, was of the planetary type, controlled by foot pedals rather than the more common hand lever used in sliding-gear transmissions."
After talking about square nuts on Keith_1's thread, I will be getting a reputation as a spoil sport.
Regards
Hugh, thanks for your comments re my Model T. My truck was fitted with 351ci Cleveland with a four speed box and a 9" ford diff. A little different to the original. Cheer's Jim.
Hi j&j,
Most of them now days have something like that. You must have shrunk the V8 some what to fit under the bonnet :wink:
The pedal configuration must have been interesting as well, one pedal in for low gear, out for high, another, in for reverse, out for forward. I don't know what they had for a clutch, breaks may have been a leaver as they would only have been on the back wheels and throttle could also have also been a hand leaver.
As I said a nice model, keep up the good works and don't let any of us nit pickers discourage you.
Actually it's a matter of opinion whether I was nit picking, showing off or just passing on info.:wink:
Regards
Love it...... :clap3:

Will I didn't build the truck, but I would have put a gear shift lever in it if I had. I had never heard of what you speak, but I find it very informative and interesting. Wouldn't have changed how I would have built the model, but I hope you keep spreading your info. I like to learn.
