Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

[frizzen]

The belly dump isn't done, it just went out for an extended a shakedown run.

I'm not mad in the least about it's performance or capability!
As i said in the beginning I'm aiming toward Scale, History, and Cool more than Productivity. Plus my Dragline monkey needed a bigger target. (Maybe instead of direct loading the monkey uses Dragline to pull material toward the Elevator up to Trucks? No, i want an excuse to make stuff.)

Look at the Second pic of post #26 Stack up a restored Wooldridge against a modern Semi, totally different roles. Quick laps on rough Haul-roads vs Slow fill Highway dumps. Even the Mack M45 haul truck i was running with is made for longer smoother trips than my wagon. That Volvo ADT in there is the closest role, but as like the Great-grandson of this machine, they had a couple years to improve and refine stuff.

The crane actually stayed home this time. Ran out of room in the car since I took some stuff to sell, but in the end nobody was interested enough in those pieces.
