Hey Diesel, here are some I scanned of an old copy of Wheels of Time magazine, hope they are of interest.

This was it's earlier model, the KB series

I came across this Inter R220 abandoned at a levy in New Orleans, had a Cummins in it, same cab as my old R180, too far to bring home as I lived in Virginia, looked like it would just need some batteries, not sure about the back window.

If you want you can go to www.truck-photos.net and scroll down contributors to ron dingwall and they all come up, had a look and was surprised 'cos I had long forgotten what was on there, sometimes good to have no memory. ::)

What happened? don't ax, I gave my wife a laptop for her birthday and she deleted photbucket so all posted pictures are gone also, bummer! we also had these Leyland Hippo's that pulled well with a tennis ball jammed between the cold start and the engine block, smoked a bit though.
Behind it is the trailer pulled by the Antar.

We had many Scammell's at he Snowy mountains project, ugly as sin but did a good job, don't know the engine but was not Gardner or Perkins. had a lot of pictures but gave my wi

fe a laptop for her birthday and she deleted photobucket!!!

The best of luck to you for having a go, in the end you can joins us old mechanics to go over our experiences

To start with you may need to keep it a small operation perhaps light loads like car carrying, in which case the

most reliable is the Inter KB5

There again, if you are looking to get into express interstate work this may do the job, again, small capita

l outlay, aerodynamically designed for speed and economy, downside, has low trade in value, suggest this would be for areas where Police are thin on the ground :

Welcome Russ, you have come to the right site to get a mine of genuine information from people who tell it like it is, no surprises! This type of vehicle is something you might consider if you are looking for really heavy work with a float, low capital outl

8ay, reliable, economical and easy to maintain

great reading these stories, necessity really is the mother of invention, a small incident I had along the road to the Blanchetown ferry was when my BSA Golden flash threw a conrod though the front of the engine, I propped it up against a fence and got a lift into town, couldn't contact anybody so after several beers drawing little diagrams on the bar with my finger dipped in beer I figured the machine should run on one cylinder, so got a lift back to where I left the bike, nobody stole stuff much in those days, unhooked the plug wire, tied the bent rod up with a bit of fencing wire, hammered a bit of wood into the oil hole in the crank, as I was still on a bit of a hill I let it roll until I got a bit of speed and let the clutch out. To my delight the engine started and off I went, oink oink down the road, the plug soon came out of the crank and I was getting a squirt of oil on my shoe, kept it running while on the ferry to the other side to a petrol station, filled up with fuel and bought a gallon of oil, got me home to Renmark!! which proves that beer enhances the brains ability to solve problems, contrary to what the pikers believe

I remember when the pink Perkins came out and they were fitted to everything with wheels, but the bolts in the conversion plate were always coming loose and jamming up the flywheel, might want to use Loctite on them, good little engine.

One of the things Len Tuit taught me as a kid offsiding with him on the Alice/Darwin run was whenever you did a tyre check to place your hand on the trailer axle hubs to check for heat.

This is a turbine Rover experimental car from the 50's, a one of, in the London museum.
