Re: SER1 Mysterious Wooden Pick-Up

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/11/05]

The interesting bit about this one is the mention of Wood in the  
original dispatch book.   I don't think these were once Tickford  SW's  
however as these are noted in the dispatch book and this chassis number  
does not fall in any of the know batches of Tickford SW. May be these  
were, as suggested, built by Tickfords

It's interesting to not that there are some differences with the steel  
body, such as no locating holes for the seat bases.  I have to say that  
it's very well made. Maybe the Ali ran out that week.

We are now implementing a new ticketing system to improve response time  
and
reduce the chances of a request being missed. This does mean a change of
email address, but will help us to help you more efficiently. In future  
we
ask that new job requests be sent to nsmsjobs@xxxx.xx.xx.xx and general
queries/discussions to nsms@xxxx.xx.xx.xx.

Thanks for your cooperation - the NSMS Team.
