As much as this equipment piques my interest.. Did anything become of the oldschool ferrymead train inspection?
I think any OS trip to Ferrymead was waiting for Spring....so yes, we can sill organise that as well.

Currently losing sleep over wheels for my Sierra, what are the deets on yours?
(tires, rims, offsets etc)

What, an update you say? Well, okay......
After many many miles (trips) in the Sierra the time came to front up for the WoF....and as expected, things werent overly flash.....lots of rust in weird and unusual places making it a health hazard to both those on the road and those inside. And probably to Albanian children as well (somehow).
So for the last wee while she has been out at "The Farm" where @JustHarry has been working his magic on it (most usually when he's lost the will to live or wants to take out his anger on something).
Noises are being made about it (hopefully) being ready soon for another crack at this mad WoF thing, we await with bated breath. On the minus side, Harry has found rust in a few more previosuly unseen places so it might be a bot terminal. But Cest Le Vie, lets just drive it like we stole it until the WoF guy says we cant (on its 2 litre Pinto and 3 speed slushbox) then go find another one.
On a whim I splashed out on these.
They are from an ST170 Focus but I fear there might be some shenanigans needed to get them to fit (if at all). For the record they are 17x7/ET49 (and that offset is probably the killer) with some 215/45 feet on them. Now I've read lots of conflicting stuff on the interwebs about what people have got to fit and what didnt, so I guess the best we can do is strap them on and see. Maybe some 205/40's might be better, either way i can see guard rolling in my future.
Watch this space...

Did you buy it then?
(what a dreadful colour btw)
No, seriously outbid in my current state of OS poverty.
And I agree about the paint. I dont even think thats a real colour.

I had an xr4x4, it was pretty rad.
There was a free mk1 estate on fb a couple of days ago...
Theres one on the Tard at the mo, but slightly out of my league....still tempting to drop the running gear into the Estate though.

After some of the feedback tonight, I’m thinking next time we do this (and there will be a next time) we will put it on a wee bit earlier so the kids and middys can come for a ride as well.

Awesome night on the trams.
I could try and convince Addington Brass to have a gig out there some time? Playing from the double decker and in the village would be awesome.
That would work really well during one of the big full park open days they have every now and again. I'll pass the idea up the chain of command.
