Mystery machine?

Post #1 by Jeremy Rowland » Sun Jun 15, 2008 5:16 pm

Hi Folks,

came across this rubber duck which appears to be about to make its final journey to the building site in the sky.
Think its probably of German origin either a Zepplin or Cat/Zepplin machine but not too sure :idea:
I'm sure somebody on this site can offer a positive identity. ;)

Looks like it's an old Eder built rubber duck.

Knew I could count on someone here knowing :D

Only ever seen one other Eder machine and that was an older rubber duck that was waiting to be cut up for scrap, may have posted the pic somewhere in this forum :dizzy:

Hi Folks,

Well I just happened to spot the little Eder rubber duck on its lowloader on a local industrial estate.
It had been my original conclusion that the machine was destined for the scrap heap as it was in so many bits and not all the bits were visible.
However I was wrong it would appear that it is being re-built (on the lowloader too) and here is a snap!!!

Hi all, that is the reason why I don't like such photo-service like photobucket or the like. :oops:
We have enough space to host the pictures here on the server. :ugeek:
