Valley Axe Man Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 A bit of a delay in posting this one, but thought I'd catch up being as it's the start of the New Year , it arrived down here in the Valley mid October and had it's first outing to the HEMS show and was then loaded for Penrith but never got so now with a bit of time here's an update from the collection in the form of one of Andy's Scammell lowloader trailers and dolly, in time there will be something for a load for it, which is an on going project amongst other things, the dolly features working fifth wheel, road springs and the axle flipped with diff removed for somewhere for the hydraulic cylinders for the brakes to live, Trailer features knock out rear axle pairs, individually bolted up split rims, and also piped up for brakes, built to Andy's usual high standard, has been hitched up to a County 1124 but also been tested behind a 1455 nash There are one or two other builds that I've talked about with Andy, so not sure yet what will appear or when but when it does I know it'll be worth the wait, A very Happy and healthy New Year to all that follow this thread and like and comment on Andy's work hopefully more updates soon 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Funny you should say that Mark..... what is planned is yellow and has tracks but no blade as such not saying too much as yet but will be an impressive bit of building when Andy has them done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 That's a fantastic model you have added to you collection Paul and a big well done to Andy . As for something yellow could it be a D4 or 5? with a timber winch fitted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Close Mark but not quite right... but yes a Muirhill would be the dogs danglies in the collection...... Cheers Smithy will pass that on to him aye it's a grand model, fairly fills a table by the time you get a tractor on the front of it too....... a nice drainage machine would look fantastic on it but don't think that will happen any time soon........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 A rather un expected package arrived in the Valley yesterday, containing one of Andy's prototypes in the form of a Twose trip buckrake ,....... After a quick call to the man himself he said it's something that's been on the back burner since he first did his transport boxes back in the early days of his business, but plans when time allows to build a prototype of a Twose push off, as he on with making bits for Fergy tractors and JCB backhoe loader models........ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nice additions Paul .. Will a big County be going in front of that low loader ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Cheers Justin, aye a big County would be nice, will have to see what happens later in the year, I not built owt really for a long time and think it's about time I should 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 A 1174 would be nice Paul.. After the 974 ... I think you could do it .. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.watson Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Just caught up with your collection Paul, and all I can say is jaw dropping. Andy has got to be one of the best craftsman around. As for the lowloader, a VHP caterpillar would look the dogs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hell Justin, that were exactly what I was thinking , great minds must think alike though seriously do think it's time and got my finger out and built something Cheers Chris your not wrong, there's quite a few things that could go on that scammel trailer, though time will tell as it's load 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 It looks a good skid unit to start with Paul, wheel centres are wrong though but most of it is there. One of the autodrome kits is on my wish list, it'd look good with a DP 6 on the back like the county demonstrator had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
