I knew it was dangerous to mention I had ran out of nuts as I knew I would get all sorts of interesting comments.

My firetruck has progressed enough since last photos that its time for an update.

It's getting pretty big now.



Just fitted the front of the cab tonight.
The dark green bit are repaints by me the light green are genuine meccano and the 2 mid green corner bits are reproduction, it would be nice to only have one green but not possible.


Underside of the rear end showing the supports for fitting the thrust bearing and ladder and the start of the mechanism to rotate the ladder left and right.


The steering mechanism.


Here is the cab floor and driver seat just sat in place for the photo.


Still got a lot more to do and don't expect to be finished for a few more months yet.
