I spotted a film about the OH R a few days ago after watching a video about London Trams where a Heinkel Kabine appears briefly. Had not heard of the OHR before, great structure! A similar thing in New York (part of the old "El") is now a public park. The OHR video gave me a link to this, and I was watching it while packing some Adders into mailing boxes, and spotted the 3Wlr at the end. I like, cars, planes, ships, buses, trams, trains!
Oh, not living serpents, my latest percussion invention!

Yes I saw the 'schmitt attack one too, CGI, it looks like someone might be planning a film, the blurb says they will be "replacing" the CGI with real people....

Just watching your clip dickie, (paused now) did you spot the Scarab Mechanical Horse at about 1 min 15 secs?

Yesterday when I was popping out to the shops I saw a nice bike heading my way, could tell by the low handle stance that it was old, and yup as it neared I saw it was beautiful shiny black, Velocette in gold script writing, and rider (about 30- 35) dressed in period style long overcoat leather helmet and goggles.

I don't even know myself!

He had , but sold  to the Bruce Weiner museum (mark C I think)

We have to get the other Bond out one of these days... I'll probably have to polish it, original paint ;) Wonder if I'll get a ride in it? I remember I used to change gears when I was small(er!)
