Bummer 😂 Keep an eye out for another one ;)
I spoke to Robert Olds a few months before Christmas and he said they had a few for sale. I know from correspondence with Ronald Walters that he bought one of them.

Now That's funny 😄Beautiful Jim, looks like you’ve got it all ready for me... still have my address? ;)
I was just watching this on youtube and realized it hasn’t arrived... Is it stuck in customs?
It kicked up a fuss Nick when I went to box it.....it said it was a hot air engine and it ain't going to no snow country ;D ;D ;D

Your modifications/enhancements are well executed Jim.
I really liked your solution for the burner holder.
And, a wonderful job on the video (the icing on the cake).
Great to see you in a position to work on projects again. Good for the Soul.
Cheers,
Charlie
Thanks Charlie, hope your enjoyed your month out on your ranch.

Thanks guys, I've had some phone calls and a lot of emails back and forth with Robert Olds who has sent me a lot of historical information, very interesting reading about Robert Huxtable from the USA and his visits to Australia and the Curved Dash Oldsmobile carburettors that Olds Engineering are still making today in Queensland.
If anyone is interested, I can email the info to you.
Would you please!?!?
Emails on there way mate :)
And now received, with gratitude .... thank you Jim!
What a totally brilliant bloke is that Olds guy!!!
Oh boy ... what a bunch of reading I have ahead of me now.
Enjoy Daniel :)
