No, but i heard about it. Ad was supposedly done when Bill was on Greens original D9G when they did the kopu-hikuai road. Yes Bill was a top guy. Cut all those batters on 'one ton straight' on kh road.
Mills had some TD30s on that road job too; but there efforts werent quite as good as the 9 !

You guy's interested in some pics of lizards, from the days when Ohau A and B were being constructed, down in the Twizel area.

Yair . . . EDGLimited. We're always interested in pictures of lizards!

I have been meaning to ask . . . anyone know what was the model number of an elevating lizard I ran for a couple of shifts, I think about 14yards, had a 4-71 on the drive and I think a 2-71 gear driving the elevator . . . very easy to stall and you had to run back to start it again . . . embarrassing.

Cheers

As Scrub Puller said I think we`d be all very interested.

Sorry for the delay, but sorting through pics takes a while. So settle back with a frosty and go back in time. These pics were taken around 1977 - 1982. There's a story with each one, but the ol memories not that good now, you might also see some of the lizards painted in cat yellow as well. I have a hell of a lot more so will post when I can.

Hey There Kerry & Merv, been reading your write ups, just found this site bloody impressive Ive found. loved the benmore coverage, I was up at twin lakes when Green& McCahill built it
They had a lot of Iron on that job and I have a lot of coloured photos I'll dig out and scan if your interested. they also done the wainuiomata mall site and others round Wellington, these guys were definitely in the big boys club

 

[Scrub Puller]

Yair . . . terexkerry. That S11 rings a bell. A few show on the internet but as yet I can't find any detail about that mechanical drive elevator . . . as I remember the power went up there by tail shaft and truth be known once you got the hang of it it worked pretty well.

Thanks for photo's EDGLimited . . . the memories of Detroit sounds and smells.

Cheers
