Kusuchi, to upload videos create a photbucket or Youtube account, and it is the same as the process of loading pictures

That TE1 is the finest I've set eyes on

Good luck and welcome again

Dear Griffin,

From Nick's post of Manxman's TE history thread I have determined the TE1A  to be from between 1968 and 1972.  Narrowing down from there seems to be the problem.  

I have no box anymore, but I vaguely remember, (after 20 years), that it looked like your avatar.  On the other hand the cornfield box also rings a bell. I'll post pictures asap.


Thanks,

John,

You and everyone else are welcome any time you like.  But don't think about coming without all of your engines!

Welcome to the Forum, and Well Done on becoming the 300th member.

I like the TE1 you have posted here. Very nice looking.

I have one of the same vintage but sadly it is missing a few bits including the canopy. Not sure if you can retrofit the current TE1A canopy into a TE1.

No you can't the fitting is different on the front and back. But, I think forest classics used to sell the old style as well as the new.

Posting photos of the TE1A to the Collection & Pics Forum.  Will follow with the RS3 and SA1.

Trapperkeeper, the problem with the Bus Video is getting it on the computer in the first place.  I don't know if my camcorder has that capability.  I have a diital camera that takes short movies but the quality isn't that great.

Oh, right. Don't worry about it, then. How does it run? Does it have trouble moving or does it go right along?
