gingerfold:
Pete, the unit and trailer seem to have identical axles and wheels… were they interchangeable?
Well spotted Graham! 
They were all identical, the ‘master plan’ was to have all wheels and hubs interchangeable with the rest of the fleet, from Thames 5cwt vans right up to Scammell’s etc. On paper, like most ideas, it seemed a brilliant concept but problems occoured with minor details such as wheel arch clearance on the smaller vehicles. There must be a large stockpile of unused axles in store ‘somewhere in the UK’ but whereabouts is anyones guess?
Pete.
Is anyone actually reading this twaddle?
