Few more from up North Tyneside
Not truck related i know, but Tynesides picture of the locomotive at Newcastle in 1969 is interesting in its own right.
HS 4000 "Kestrel’ was built in 1967 by Brush Traction in Loughborough as a prototype, no doubt with a view to securing orders from British Railways.
It was used by BR until 1971 when it was returned to Brush for refitting.
It was sold on to the Soviet Union, exhibited and trialled on a circular track, later the engine was removed and the rest believed scrapped circa 1993.
