Hi, I have a Thwaites Orion which I restored, there's one or two dumper enthusiasts lurking around :)

Regarding pictures - I may be wrong here, but as I understand it (and it's what I do) you have to upload your pictures to a host site like Photobucket and then paste the image links onto this site.

Regards Julian.

Place inline ... now when you have written what you want to say about the picture bring the cursor onto a new line underneath and leave it where it is flashing away ... now click on the Place in line button and your picture address will appear something like this [img]mypictureis[/img].. if in doubt click on the preview button and your picture will appear with your writting as it would appear in the thread..happy with it ..then click Submit ... if you want to practice then practice here but dont click the submit button ... now off you go and start posting with pictures in any of the threads you want to share with us ...

Pictures of my restored 1967 Winget Muirhill model 2s dumper as now in preservation. It is finished in the original colours of javelin red and attends many vintage shows throughout the south of England in company with other dumpers and classic plant.
