Time for a change again!
I've gone a model or so backwards to create a tilting cab Leyland Octopus

I sold a similar cab about a year ago and when I read a restoration article about a similar cabbed lorry, I decided I had to have another, still got things to do but that is the nature of my builds...always something else to add.
The green cab has gone onto another chassis so time was not wasted.

Looks good, is it an older version of the cab that was on it? I guess it's nice if I you get bored with some thing you can just mix it up a bit!

Re: Time for a change
 

yep, it is the model before but not quite that simple because this cab underwent several face lifts before the green style of cab was introduced and this is the first version.

It is much cheaper to recab than build another besides there is only so much room available in the truck park!

Green cab interchanges with this one

depending on the mood I'm in or type of trailer being towed.

How's your build coming on?
Lost track a bit because we got flooded out during a freak storm , storm over in 1/2 hour but taken 6 weeks to get things something like back to where we were before.
