Nostalgia!!

When I came out of the army in 1955 I got a driving job (forgot the name) in and out of the London Docks every day and I got to know the driver of chain driven Schammel that never went out of the docks, other lorries belonging to the owners used to come into the docks and tranship onto the Schammel which was called a feeder moter, it used to go from shed to shed. One day the driver let me have a drive of this beast which had a right hand gate change. I am very proud to be able to say I drove a chain driven Schammel. Many years later I delivered a brand new heavy haulage Schammel puller with a 10 ton ballast box down to Matosinos in Portugal for Schammel trucks.
