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.

That and kerosene + some kind of black powder I had the tendency to do that in my front yard (from my house's second floor), then rushing downstairs to try to save the pilot from the burning wrecks I scarred my dear Mother too many times to count.

I blame Trumpton.. No you cant I loved all three shows.

KevinD Do you happen to know anything about tbe backstory of how the BBC pretty much commissioned the same show times three?

No I don't really, I probably should. Still, it doubtless made me what I am today!
