Lbm 640 astells of bedford

Thanks, that is very interesting especially since LBM640 is now so well known on the show circuit!

 

I have never seen a pre-restoration photo of this one and didn't realise how much had had to be recreated (wings, rear body), and also didn't know it had been in Ireland.

 

You still have 71BTO I imagine?

Good point! I didn't realise there was a Wickford in Essex until you pointed that out! Thanks.

Another for your register - a one off built for a tender to replace the Scammel Commander. Now being run with a different engine and gearbox by ALE as a ballast tractor

 

 

I used to see this one regularly passing through Newcastle under Lyme Staffs on the A34.

Very impressive rig. I think ALE are now building their own purpose built tractor unit similar to this Unipower.,. But bigger and more powerful.
