It's certainly looking good now!
Do you have a "before" photo?
Do you really need that many David Aulds?

yes the early Auld's had copper boiler's then they went to a similer size brass boiler and then to a smaller diameter brass boiler.you can see the differance in the line up pics.

I like the way they drove the wheels....different!
And the fact the exhaust goes where it should!
Nice job with the old girl(s).

the way the wheels are driven must be a New Zealand thing as David Auld copied Cranko

you have done a good job there Andrew

Les

That is a cracking job you have done there, what sort of paint did you use on the canopy??

Renown did it too and somewhere someone posted a German mobile that is older than both Cranko and Renown that did it so it is possible both OZ and NZ ones copied a very early German one.
But to be honest 'Who Knows'?

Surely you can keep it for a while?
Just to make sure you're properly finished with the resto?
Like a year or three...
