Gentlemen, Well I started yesterday at 07:30 stood with others by the Bedford railway line waiting for the Duke Of Gloucester to pass by on a steam hauled run from St Albans to York return only to find out that it had failed in the week and had been replaced by Union Of South Africa which I had photographed a week earlier on the east coast line. I then started to finally remove the front brake cylinders on my Bedford ready to fit new ones, on fitting the first cylinder I managed to shear one bolt and stretch the other, I then checked the others and all show signs of necking, the Bedford now sits on axle stands waiting a fastener company to open their doors tomorrow when I shall replace all eight. John (Manders in Magpie mode) this one is for you, I've been "given" a Band saw mechanical hacksaw, needs a little tidying and a new blade other than that it works a treat. Also can be used as a Band saw in its vertical position. As soon as it is up and running my current mechanical hacksaw will be for sale, I bought this at Burford rally for a nominal sum, repaired the motor and its done me proud.
