I think I (or others) have linked to to this long thread before, but I will use the fact that they were using a Colchester and S7 to the max as an excuse to do it again.
They are restoring a WW one Thonycroft lorry (see similar thread on completed Peerless). What gets me is the sheer size of everything. They look like ordinary bits in the photos until a hand or lathe is in shot and it becomes apparent that they are huge. These guys are puely hobbists but are doing wonderful work.

Spend the time and read the whole thread.

Robert.
