    Default The fire engine

    Hi all would like to show you my work in progress it’s painfully slow compared to other great inputs but here we go, it’s a Seagraves fire engine from the 1930s started it sometime ago and doing a bit now and then.
    I am unable to tell you what the timbers are if you were to read my last input to the post (show us your shed) you will understand my methods and practices of obtaining timber

    Regards Colbra
    Ps with the exception of the wheels
