Where they the last 2 Gardner powered 4-11s at Ridings Moomooland ?
Thanks Gary
Powered by a Gardner 6LXDT engine this particular tractor unit along with Reg No F110 SRN, which was registered on the same day, were the very last Gardner engined vehicles to leave the Seddon Atkinson factory.
They were bought specifically to haul lime from Shap quarry in ■■■■■■■ to the British Steel Corporation plant at Ravenscriag in Scotland running 24 hours a day 7 days a week. When Ravenscraig closed F340 SHG was transferred to Riding’s Thornaby depot and it was here that it met its end after coming to grief on the A59 just east of West Marten when it hit a tree and was written off.
