Thanks so much for your help and for moving this thread....newbees!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tried to upload a couple of pictures but the site says I have exceeded my disk space allowance. Perhaps I need to use smaller pixel ratings next time! It says the pictures must be less that 10Mb ...but one picture was 0.7Mb and the other 0.9Mb??? Any how I guess I will improve with helpful advice. I will have to read the tutorial again! Chris.- 15 replies

Thanks so much for your input. I will follow your advise. As to the age of this piece, we feel due to having the red based axle bricks fitted where the animals pivot and taking on board the introduction date of the thin 'slim bricks' in the UK, the considered manufacture date at this time is approximately 1964 (many thanks to Gary for his invaluable historic information!!). I bought this from a charity auction so the seller was unable to divulge the donates identity BUT apparently they still frequent the shop so they plan to pass my details on so HOPEFULLY in time I should/could be given more provenance. You ask about movement in this model. I shall try to post a picture in a moment as I have a very short video of the model in motion but presently I don't know if this site allows this type of footage. I will try to show the pivot point to display the early style axle. Thanks for all your help, Chris.- 15 replies

Hi. Thanks so much for taking the time to call me and to welcome me too! Actually I guess, I should have been clearer, it's not really the period parts I need although the parts I have are in good condition and as the model has been sat in a shop window for some time as a whole it is 'sun bleached' so my parts look a bit out of place, so I do need some 'damaged' parts in fact, BUT really what I seek is an image of my model in a catalog somewhere so that I can copy the missing elephants trunk as it would have originally been made, I feel sure somewhere it must feature. I have spoken with some fellow collectors who have such retail catalogs but alas we have not found anything to date. As I live in England perhaps it was made purely for UK shops....we will see. Have a great day, Chris.- 15 replies

Hi all. I was hoping to find someone with a graphic of one of my shop display models as it needs a repair and I would like it to be to the original specifications. Its a British built motorized Noah's Ark. My real problem is the elephants trunk is missing. It is also needing an ear repair also but that is a fairly clear remodel of the other ear, but the trunk??? Can anyone help? Picture of complete Noah's Ark on this entery Poor old trunk-less elephant on this entry.
