I think I have one or 2 of those as well Time slips by Iain... at this rate it won't be long until Gretna or Ingliston. That reminds me... transport box! thing with the sleepers is that some don't want to be as darkly creosoted as others so it's a case do a batch and then offer them into a bay in the clamp to see how they look, the steelwork is finished for the clamp it's only small at 3 sleepers wide and 5 deep. will try and get it out and get photo of it so far with a few un creosoted sleepers dropped in 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent size as well , must scale up to around 40 ‘ long by around 25 ‘ wide . But fits in well with era of machines , it’s not those mega munchers you are filling it from . Cheers Iain, thanks, it's abit tedious with all the sleepers but i'll get there, give or take your about size wise and should handle all the double chop and a couple of trailers will throw at it, hopefully over christmas i'll get abit more done whilst digesting the turkey and the sprouts once i got the sleepers looking right i'll sort the floor and then around the outside with a bit of scenery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted March 29, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2019 And also this Leyland 384-4 synchro , based on my good mate Martin "the Beast's" 384, the full sized build is a 804 chassis and running gear mated to the tinwork of a 384, a tractor that has a special place in Martin's own collection as it was the last tractor that he and Ian built together before the tractor took Ian, a gentle giant and very knowledgeable man on his final journey, This version based on one of Brian's 4wd chassis, features the synchro box and Martins colour scheme of cream wheels. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Martin i know it's not your kind of Blue but it's got good links to you and your dad's farming past , Brian did a pair of the 384-4' Synchro's Martin got one himself and said it was ok for me to have the other one as i'd known Ian for a number of years and seen the real tractor in various stages of build when they built it, He's thinking this year to get his 482 restored, to go with the 472 he got sat in the shed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
