Some great old pictures in amongst that lot and thanks for sharing them.

agree with slospeed Andy, great pictures to study, thank you, I was particularly interested in the Diamond "T" s, when in Burpangary North of Brisbane I used to visit two brothers who at one time had a earth moving business in Sandgate, I remember you drove West across the railway tracks and they had a huge building on the right with the best private collection I have ever seen, they never traded their trucks, Diamond "T"s with the plastic still on the doors, looked like those in the picture, they had long retired then so probably gone now, they were super guys and just enjoyed fooling with their collection, lot of old cars as well

Thanks guys. I'm very slowly going through my folders now so there's a bit of 5-10 year old show photos to come but there's also some much older photos that were sent to me for the e-mag. Hopefully there won't be too much wading through the colour for the old stuff. LOL.

There's one of those Diamond Ts down in Temora, Ron. I've seen a couple others around - including a 981 wrecker that gets around in WA (still with a Hercules, I believe!) - but they don't seem to be thick on the ground. Hope the military guys can prove me wrong.

Some more from Cora Lynn 2008 - a show with a good cross-section of the smaller makes on the scene.

Golden Oldies 2008 next.
