Both being made in model form later this year by Tekno.
Definitely better looking than the 4 series nice photos rob. Nobody has attempted to answer my spot the difference on the Gallarchers/ Parnabys 143 ![]()
Greek, here’s an attempt
What’s with the radiator sticking out?
The only difference I can see but can’t explain , haven’t seen it earlier ![]()
Correct . Im supprised none of these 3 series fans have never asked about it because it does look a bit different & has no use whatsoever I think it was done by its first owners Parnabys just to make it look a bit more beefy.It is also a double drive unit. Its still being used now to haul plant local by a different company & still looks well.

Heres half a pic of the Gallacher moter we deliverd the chimneys for Sutton Bridge Power station when they were building it.  Recognise them yellow tanks chorcheela cant remember the name of the company now (i think it changed afew times)used to load out of there just the north side of Ipswich (can`t remember name of village have to get the mapout)
The tank company was know as Cookson and Zinn at one time out the back of Hadliegh Suffolk with real tight lanes .
After i had passed my HGV test , my first load was 2 black tanks from Cooksons to Gt Yarmouth i put 5 straps round each tank and went at 40mph most of the way up the A12 boy did they sway about !!
