.I NOW COLLECT 1/18 WHICH I HAVE NEARLY 500 NEARLY ALL AMERICAN AND ALSO TRADE ON EBAY WHERE I HAVE A RATING OF 1228.AND ALSO WERE I BOUGHT A LOT OF MY MODELS.I WORK IN A FACTORY IN SUNDERLAND WHERE I DRIVE A FORKTRUCK HARDLY EXCITING BUT IT PAYS THE MORTGAGE AND FUELS MY PASSION FOR DIECAST.IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME HOW TO RESIZE THE PICTURES TO POST THAT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP.

THANKS KEVIN.

Hi there Kevin, welcome to you. I am sure the experts here will tell you how to resize your pictures.
When you take a picture of your Lafrance, with all ladders up, you will HAVE to resize it anyway.......

Prawny, I live just to the west and south of the toon, used to do a lot of work around Heburn and S'land repairing forktrucks.
