Hi peeps,
Had another opportunity to use my D4 for what it was actually intended for...... not the school run!

No, they are from Britpart I think I bought them especially for this trip. They did the job and will still work but it’s shame they broke.
I don’t think it helped that the rut was a U shape so the trades didn’t sit flat against the ground

A lorry had broken down and recovery was in progress. Looked like the police had turned up and they are usually armed. Lots of bandits around waiting for opportunities like that.

Ahhh okay, thanks. I've seen Maxtraxx used as a bridge across ditches too. I wonder if the Britpart ones would stand up to that.
Good work anyway. Look forward to seeing more D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten
