My Internet is up so I can post some photos.

Here is my haul from the UK.

Thanks Rob for the castings and the crucible.

The clocks need servicing but before I can do that I need to finish making all the tools I will need.

I'm pretty happy with this haul. ;D
 
Nice haul !!! So how did you get it all back to Australia? Take some extra luggage or...?

Can you beleive we still came in 20Kg under our luggage allowance. :eek:

Emirates allows you 30Kg each and as it was myself, my wofe and 2 kids we were allowed 120kg in the hold and even with 4 big suitcases full we only reach about 100kg.

Next trip I need to take larger cases. :big:
 
If space is tight I can look after that lot for you for a few years. ;)
 
No Problem Tony , pleased to see you got everything back in one piece ,
Have you machined up the traction engine wheels yet ?
Regards Rob

Not yet.
I need to clean them up a bit with a file and then I want to paint them before I machine them and I haven't had a chance to paint them yet.
 
Excellent haul Tony!! Looks like lots of goodies to play with now.
