Recommended Posts

Here's one for all you not on Faceache. Just a little documentary of the ongoing restoration of the SVM Mobile Command Centre.

 

Today's tasks:

Remove the destination glass over-panel - Done

Install destination equipment - Mostly done. Controller installed and wiring completed. Screen sitting on wood blocks. Needs proper brackets made. Materials on order.

Clean up and wash - Done

 

Mr cms206 was in attendance to assist with the various tasks. The cleanup of the exterior alone took about an hour.

You should bring that to the next shitefest/cholmondeley (and bring it into the judging arena).

 

 

We did consider bringing it via Chumly on it's way up the road from Essex a couple of weeks ago but the entry forms specifically said cars only. Then the commentator complained only 2 motors went in to the concourse paddock for the commercial section.

 

I have a Concessionary Pass. Can I get on before 0900 in England?

 

No! It's Scottish again. It'll run a Scottish ticket machine so yer Engerland pass won't be accepted at all! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Not really any refurb going on here but the autoshite.com Mobile Command and Recruitment Centre made an appearance at the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust's open weekend event this week. Due to very few people knowing about it's entrance in to preservation, it drew a lot of attention, stole the show quite a bit and I ended up talking to a lot of people I had never met before. I'll post pics from other folk as they appear on Flickr or Facebook...
