a fairground life
The painting is still on going, the structure is done but now I'm doing the characters that decorate the panels. The work has also been interrupted by doing repairs on the miami. The footbrake valve has been replaced but I can't test it out as the batteries are removed from the lorry to get tested. It turned out that one was knackered. I also found a leaking brake cylinder hose on the trailer. This was also replaced but while I was under there I noticed a leaf on a spring cracked so that is another job. I did get the ride's spotlights repaired. Four were replaced altogether and a fifth was patched up from components out of one of the four removed. After that I took advantage of the sunshine and painted the floor.

Hi Showman
Looking at one of the other web sites it looks as if your brothers dodgems wern't at Dunfries. Given they have been there every year since Freddy's days I was wondering if there was any specific reason why they were missing from this years line up?
had to do the sums on this one, purely a financial decision. I guess sometimes you got to work 'smart', not hard.
Although I don't blame you it speaks volumes about the country when you've got to think twice about running a couple of lorries down to Dunfries. What about Kings Park and especially Nairn, heres hoping the machine will still appear in the line up at these gaffs.
