Ben , here is the bed that I made for my Wileso D310 Foden lorry truck , it's made from balsa and weighs 1.4 oz.

Great video Bruce!....I have to admit that this is a model I had never really looked at, after I saw it scooting around so well, I went to look on Wilesco site and really started to see all the mods you did! Love the chain drive you found!
  The "spare parts" show the Cylinder assembly, this looks like fairly standard D10 power? The other question I had is if anyone has ever pressed the big flywheel shaft out of a Wilesco flywheel? It's my understanding that Wilesco casts them right on the shaft....if there is straight knurl on the shaft it may come off with min damage but heavy diamond knurl or a cross pin might do fair amount of damage by pressing it out. It's not necessary for me to remove but it might be nice to have the option.
  The more I think about it, A slide valve power plant is more where I would like to go than double acting occillator.
  It looks like D10 or Jensen 75 power would be a BIG upgrade on Mamod Roadster....D16 or big Jensen power might get pretty Wild!
