Other Shed info

'Ted' is built around an old 'Work Horse' ride-on mower to which we welded a steel frame. The wooden part is a modified 6 foot by 4 foot 'Norfolk' shed built by Albany Sheds and this is bolted to the steel frame. 'Ted' also features flashing amber lights, an electric klaxon horn and a smoking chimney.

The chimney conceals the exhaust and smoke is produced by squirting "disco smoke" liquid onto the hot exhaust using an old windscreen washer pump and copper tubing. I drove 'Ted' in the recent Harpenden Carnival and to the best of my knowledge he is unique - we would be very interested in hearing from anyone who knows of any other mobile (self propelled) shed.
