tabmodels Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Lots more work done to the tanker, very difficult keeping everything square around a cylinder, especially a cylinder that's not supposed to sit level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve P Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Totally amazing looking models of probably Countys strangest design. One was used for a number of years at Saundersfoot harbour in Pembrokeshire until replaced by a Ford TW 20 about 6 years ago, not sure what happend to the old County but it was looking a bit worse for wear towards the end, as the vid i took in september 2010 proves.

tabmodels Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 Fantastic video Stephen, looks very odd without the fuel tanks between the wheels. Really like that trailer for lifting boats, we used to transport a boat from Bangor to Belfast and back with our County 7600-four. The boat was lifted out of the water with a rubber tyred gantry crane and set on to the trailer, then transported to Belfast where it underwent repairs and servicing over winter.

Valley Axe Man Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Definiatley some nice work going on there with the tank Ian .... if only we could find some blokes that would take as much care and have as much pride in their work on the full sized tankers we build......
