I'm not totally convinced ted should be learning to fly Mr Dagenham's helicopter. That said, without him in the driving seat, the cab is so lightweight, it tilts backwards - not helped by the fact the rotor blades have to be modified to be longer than the ones supplied with the "Helicopter with Active Pilot" model.

Very good. Yep, I put a hefty weight in the cab of mine (I think it was a bit of transformer core!). Well done at finding the helicopter.

Thank you, I spotted the helicopter at a good price last year and snapped it up. Aha, yes a laminated transformer core would be a good source of weighty ballast.

My latest creation. It's an attempt at one of the many variants or Mr. Carraway/Chippy Minton's van that either did or didn't have the front number plate and either did or didn't have the chrome headlight shades. From what I could see, it only ever seemed to have a side light on the driver's side - a tad odd. Like all good old runners, this bodywork is about 5% filler!

On a side note, I've just realised that it would appear that the Heavy Duty Tractor shares the same wheels with the Six Wheel Truck, I suppose that's not overly surprising as they were both manufactured by Rosedale. Given that the tractor rear wheels are around 116mm in diameter, the six wheeler really is large.

 

[KevinD]

Like Chippy's ride. Yep, that truck would've been massive. I wouldn't have room for one even if I could find one!

Ooh - this looks familiar. A bit rich for me though for the condition it's in.

 

[KevinD]

Yep, I'm sure you can find them in better condition than that. Mind you, I've had mine since it was new!
