Thanks for those, Dean, brings back a memory to me because my Dad, an engineer, worked for Vulcan Foundry for a year 1949/50 during our brief sojourn in Manchester sandwiched between Southampton and Nottingham. It was a return for me to my birthplace and wartime abode while he was with Monty in Egypt.

Morning David,
Would it have been at the Newton le Willows Vulcan foundry that your father worked at?

No idea David, I was only 6 at the time and I remember it being mentioned, that’s all. Was there another site nearer the city? We lived at Davyhulme, near Urmston and he would have gone to work on a bike or bus, we didn’t have a car till Nottingham after my Grandfather died and left us his Austin 12. Our first car as a family, I remember the reg. to this day DNE 911. Amazing after nearly 70 years when you consider that now, if required, I have to look out of the window to see my current reg. plates.

[/quoteI’ve seen something like that before, Froggy, but I thought it was in New Zealand. Good idea.
Interesting clip Paul, merci.
It does show what sort of backward country the US is(making sure the Mrs doesn’t read this, as she’s American 
) though, we use the same idea but with a remote control steered dolly…

Technical data sheet, it’s interesting to see how much the torque output of engines have changed, the third sheet is from the modern Volvo 16l engine.Interesting! I didn’t know MAN had fitted a V12 in a truck! In matter of displacement, it beats the 18-litre Mercedes V10.
I think that V12 was initially only designed for being fitted in battle tanks Paul.

A 100 tonne boiler being unloaded at Wirksworth station
Tidy looking outfit Dan! Is that a Andover trailer?
Quite tough built if that boiler weighs 100t, the trailer doesn’t seem to be impressed by that weight

Latest addition to the fine MAP fleet, a new Faymonville double extender all steer trailer. Bewick.
Tidy looking trailer Bewick, looks like the bed is 2.75 wide?
Punchy Dan:
I see the law are taking a keen interest in these heavy haulage operators recently
Axle weights in particular Dan…
Wonder if this would still be alright according to Vosa regulations…

Great article mate!
Couple of weeks ago a colleague and I both transported a silo with a length of 17m and a diameter of 3.70 to a place in Bavaria, was quite nice to do the longer loads again after some years. (Pic’s should behave when you click on them)
“Wonder if Swedish Danne is still out there…?”
Sent you a pm.
Cheers

For years people have been wondering about how they were able to built Stonehenge back in the day…
A recent TV program (shown in France several times) explains how they did the job, and from which areas they brought the stones. But the reconstitution was made with polystyrene blocks. What was it about this time? Raising upright collapsed blocks?
